How can I convert bits to bytes?

Question

I have an array of 128 booleans that represent bits. How can I convert these 128 bit representations into 16 bytes?

Example:

I have an array that looks like

Answer 1

bool[] bools = ...
BitArray a = new BitArray(bools);
byte[] bytes = new byte[a.Length / 8];
a.CopyTo(bytes, 0);

EDIT: Actually this also returns:

198 12 209 77 203 162 216 50 33 0 196 255 194 231 125 159

Wrong endianness? I'll leave answer anyway, for reference.

EDIT: You can use BitArray.CopyTo() by reversing the arrays like so:

bool[] bools = ...
Array.Reverse(bools); // NOTE: this modifies your original array
BitArray a = new BitArray(bools);
byte[] bytes = new byte[a.Length / 8];
a.CopyTo(bytes, 0);
Array.Reverse(bytes);
