Convert UInt16 to binary

[Guest]

Hi group,

Is there an easy way to convert a UInt16 value in to a string which presents
it in a binary format. I need a conversion with a fixed length.

so 6 must be presented as '00000000000001 10'

Any help or code examples would be higly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Bart

Try:

Convert.ToStrin g(v, 2).PadLeft(16, '0')

I agree with Arne, if you are trying to get a string representation? Are you
trying to get a byte[2] instead?

Boooo-ring. These may be more acceptable for the LINQ era:

new string(Enumerab le.Range(0, 16).Reverse().S elect(i ="01"[v >i &
1]).ToArray())

Or

new string(Enumerab le.Repeat(v, 16).Select((x, y) ="01"[x >y &
1]).Reverse().ToA rray())

Or

Enumerable.Repe at(v, 16).Aggregate(" ", (x, y) ="01"[y >x.Length & 1] + x)

(I'm kidding, don't use these.)

Simple is good in programming !

If you need to obfuscate the code, then Jeroen had
some ideas.
