Hello,

I need to send a "struct" to an embeded CPU over the Ethernet.

The struct is defined like this:

[Serializable]
public struct MyStruct
{
public double dVar1;
public bool bVar2;
public int nVar3;
}

What would we the best way to pack it into an "array" and send it? Would
that be through Marshal.Copy!? or any other more effiecient way?

BitConverter and a byte[] the most straightforward.

Thanks
