How to convert a sbyte[] to byte[] in C#?

Question

I\'ve got a function which fills an array of type sbyte[], and I need to pass this array to another function which accepts a parameter of type byte[].

Can I convert

Answer 1

If you are using .NET 3.5+, you can use the following:

byte[] dest = Array.ConvertAll(sbyteArray, (a) => (byte)a);

Which is, I guess effectively copying all the data.

Note this function is also in .NET 2.0, but you'd have to use an anonymous method instead.
