Convert Byte Array to Bit Array?

Question

How would I go about converting a bytearray to a bit array?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by "bit array"... If you mean an instance of the BitArray class, Guffa's answer should work fine.

If you actually want an array of bits, in the form of a bool[] for instance, you could do something like that :

byte[] bytes = ...
bool[] bits = bytes.SelectMany(GetBits).ToArray();

...

IEnumerable GetBits(byte b)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
        yield return (b & 0x80) != 0;
        b *= 2;
    }
}
