sealed class

This class provides static methods that can be used to convert portions of a byte array to simple value types. It also contains the overloaded GetBytes( ) method, which converts simple data types to byte arrays. These functions can be useful for creating custom reader and writer classes. For example, a typical writer class might take specific data, convert it to a byte array, then pass the byte array to some type of stream object.
