System.BitConverter.ToDouble Method

Returns a double-precision floating point number converted from eight bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

Syntax

public static double ToDouble (byte[] value, int startIndex)

Parameters

value
An array of bytes.
startIndex
The starting position within value.

Returns

A double precision floating point number formed by eight bytes beginning at startIndex.

Remarks

The BitConverter.ToDouble(Byte[], int) method converts the bytes from index startIndex to startIndex + 7 to a double value. The order of bytes in the array must reflect the endianness of the computer system's architecture; for more information, see the Remarks section of the BitConverter class topic.
