System.BitConverter.IsLittleEndian Field

Indicates the byte order ("endianness") in which data is stored in this computer architecture.

Syntax

public static readonly bool IsLittleEndian

Remarks

This value is true if the architecture is little-endian; false if it is big-endian.

Different computer architectures store data using different byte orders. "Big-endian" means the most significant byte is on the left end of a word. "Little-endian" means the most significant byte is on the right end of a word.
