Int16 - GetBytes

Returns the specified 16-bit signed integer value as an array of bytes.

Try it

const string formatter = "{0,10}{1,13}";

public static void GetBytesInt16(short argument)
{
	// C# Extension Method: Int16 - GetBytes
    byte[] byteArray = argument.GetBytes();
    Console.WriteLine(formatter, argument, BitConverter.ToString(byteArray));
}

public static void Main()
{
    Console.WriteLine(formatter, "short", "byte array");
    Console.WriteLine(formatter, "-----", "----------");

    GetBytesInt16(0);
    GetBytesInt16(15);
    GetBytesInt16(-15);
    GetBytesInt16(10000);
    GetBytesInt16(-10000);
    GetBytesInt16(short.MinValue);
    GetBytesInt16(short.MaxValue);
}
