He, 
How to convert an Int32 or an Int to a byte (encoded 8 bytes) ?
for examle convert 2 (Int32) to a byte 00000001

Friend, if you want to convert to a byte array, here is the code
Dim arr as byte()
arr = BitConverter.GetBytes(MyInt)
Here MyInt is you Int32 variable
Else you can try this also

Convert.ToByte(12)
Convert.ToSomeType(value)
etc...

Hi,
The byte denotes an integral type that stores values (range from 0-255). Int value can be converted to byte explicitly. For more information, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5bdb6693(VS.80).aspx
I guess you want to convert it to binary format. If so, we can use ToString method with second parameter with value  2, 8, 10 or 16 for binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal, respectively. You can try the following code:
         byte b = 255;
         string s = Convert.ToString(b, 2);
         s = String.Format("{0:000000000}", Convert.ToInt32(s));
         Response.Write(s);
        
         Response.Write("<br />");
        
         int i = 1;
         s = Convert.ToString(i, 2);
         s = String.Format("{0:000000000}", Convert.ToInt32(s));
         Response.Write(s);
 
I look forward to hearing from you.

He, 
I I have two integers for example :
  int i = 1;
         si = Convert.ToString(i, 2);
         si = String.Format("{0:000000000}", Convert.ToInt32(si));
         Response.Write(s);
and 
  int j = 4;
         sj = Convert.ToString(j, 2);
         sj = String.Format("{0:000000000}", Convert.ToInt32(sj));
         Response.Write(s);
How can we binary add(&)  i and j : i&j ? si&sj does not work
Best regards

Hi,
We can convert these int values to byte values and then perform and (&) operation.
For instance:
        string sR;
        int i = 1, j = 4;
        byte a = Convert.ToByte(i);
        byte b = Convert.ToByte(j);
        byte result = Convert.ToByte(a & b);
        sR = Convert.ToString(result, 2);
        sR = String.Format("{0:000000000}", Convert.ToInt32(sR));
        Response.Write(sR);

 I look forward to hearing from you.
