Converting a int to a BCD byte array

Question

I want to convert an int to a byte[2] array using BCD.

The int in question will come from DateTime representing the Year and must be converted to two bytes.

Answer 1

static byte[] IntToBCD(int input) { 
    byte[] bcd = new byte[] { 
        (byte)(input>> 8), 
        (byte)(input& 0x00FF) 
    };
    return bcd;
}
