How to convert this VB code to c#?

Question

I have VB code which I'm converting to C#. I've created a large chunk of the program but I'm stuck at one line of this fuction:

Private Sub Arduino_Write(ByVal Output As String)
    If Not IsNothing(networkStream) Then
        Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Output)
        Dim endByte As [Byte]() = {&HFE}
        networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
        networkStream.Write(endByte, 0, 1)
    Else
        MsgBox("ERROR")
    End If
End Sub

What I know is endByte is a Byte type array and I don't know what &HFE is and how to convert or typecast it in C#. Can anybody please help me?

There are some online converters - Google will help you ;-) Or you can use convert.net. — muffi

It's an array with a single value of hex FE. in C# you can write this as:

byte[] endByte = {0xFE};

&HFE just means the hexadecimal for 254. In C# this would be:

byte[] endByte = { 0xFE };

How about:

private void Arduino_Write(string Output)
{
    if (networkStream != null) {
        var sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Output);
        var endByte = { 0xfe };
        networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
        networkStream.Write(endByte, 0, 1);
    } else {
        Interaction.MsgBox("ERROR");
    }
}

Try some online converters, they are okay. Google will find many. ;)

Here an example from http://converter.telerik.com/

private void Arduino_Write(string Output)
{
    if ((networkStream != null)) {
        Byte[] sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Output);
        Byte[] endByte = { 0xfe };
        networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
        networkStream.Write(endByte, 0, 1);
    } else {
        Interaction.MsgBox("ERROR");
    }
}

Try this.

you can compile the VB code and use the dissasembler in Reflector to see C# code. Some of the variable names will change.

private void Arduino_Write(string Output)
{
    if ((networkStream != null)) {
        Byte[] sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Output);
        Byte[] endByte = { 0xfe };
        networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
        networkStream.Write(endByte, 0, 1);
    } else {
        Interaction.MsgBox("ERROR");
    }
}

in the internet have more online converters.here are some converters

Sometimes the conversion is not 100% accurate, but it is definitely very helpful.you also can use Visual Studio 2012 plug-in named Language Convert (works perfectly with 2010/2012)
