Converting 2 dimensional array to Single dimensional in C#?
Simplest method
int iSize = Marshal.SizeOf(stTransactionLogInfo); //stTransactionLogInfo is a structure
byte[,] bData = (byte[,])objTransLog; //objTransLog is 2 dimensionl array from device
byte[] baData = bData.Cast<byte>().ToArray();
bData.Cast<byte>()
will convert the multi-dimensional array to a single dimension.
This will do boxing, unboxing so isn't the most performant way, but is certainly the simplest and safest.
You can use the Buffer.BlockCopy Method:
byte[,] bData = (byte[,])objTransLog;
byte[] baData = new byte[bData.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(bData, 0, baData, 0, bData.Length);
Example:
byte[,] bData = new byte[4, 3]
{
{ 1, 2, 3 },
{ 4, 5, 6 },
{ 7, 8, 9 },
{ 10, 11, 12 }
};
byte[] baData = new byte[bData.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(bData, 0, baData, 0, bData.Length);
// baData == { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 }
