Convert bool[] to byte[]

Question

I have a List which I want to convert to a byte[]. How do i do this? list.toArray() creates a bool[].

Answer 1

If you have any control over the type of list, try to make it a List, which will then produce the byte[] on ToArray(). If you have an ArrayList, you can use:

(byte[])list.ToArray(typeof(byte));

To get the List, you could create one with your unspecified list iterator as an input to the constructor, and then produce the ToArray()? Or copy each item, casting to a new byte from bool?

Some info on what type of list it is might help.
