Unable to pass an object of type "System.Byte []" to enter "System.IConvertible"

Question

FMT fmt=new FMT(); public void ReadFmtHeader() { fmt.s_Sub_Chunk_ID_1 = reader.ReadBytes(4); fmt.ui_Sub_Chunk_Size_ID_1 = reader.ReadBytes(4); fmt.us_Audio_Format = reader.ReadBytes(2); fmt.us_Num_Channels = reader.ReadBytes(2); fmt.ui_Sample_Rate = reader.ReadBytes(4); fmt.ui_Byte_Rate = reader.ReadBytes(4); fmt.us_Block_Align = reader.ReadBytes(2); fmt.us_Bits_Per_Sample = reader.ReadBytes(2); if (Convert.ToInt32(fmt.ui_Sub_Chunk_Size_ID_1) == 18)// Exception thrown on this line { // Read any extra values int fmtExtraSize = reader.ReadInt16(); reader.ReadBytes(fmtExtraSize); } } 

I am trying to read a wave file and then recreate it using header information and saving to a file. I do not know what's the problem. Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

You cannot convert byte[] to int using Convert.ToInt32 ; you need to use BitConverter .
