Method ToByteArray
ToByteArray()
Returns a 16-element byte array that contains the UUID in little-endian byte order. The byte-order is
identical to the byte array returned by
ToByteArray() for drop-in compatibility. If
interoperability with other platforms is required, network byte order should be used for transmission
and storage of UUIDs, which is achieved by instead using
ToByteArray(ByteOrder) with the
BigEndian argument.
Declaration
public byte[] ToByteArray()

Byte[] |
A 16-element byte array that contains the UUID in little-endian byte order. |
ToByteArray(ByteOrder)
Returns a 16-element byte array that contains the UUID.
Declaration
public byte[] ToByteArray(ByteOrder order)

Description |
ByteOrder |
order |
The requested byte-order of the first three data fields (32-bit, 16-bit and 16-bit, repectively) that
are stored by the first 8 bytes in the returned array. For interoperability with other systems and to
comply with RFC 4122, use BigEndian to transmit and store UUIDs. The default
byte order used by Guid is LittleEndian.
