Bitwise operation between two byte(8 bit hex) getting error in C#

I am getting error in this C# code from 2nd & 3rd line

byte Data = 0x00;
Data = Data | 0x80;
Data = Data >> 1;

Compiler says : Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'byte'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

But I successfully run this code in C taking "Data" as unsigned char.

HOW TO DO THIS IN C#?

Thank You for Help.

To prevent the conversion to int, you can use assignment operators instead

byte Data = 0x00;
Data |= 0x80;
Data >>= 1; // result is 0x40

Cast it explicitly like:

byte Data = 0x00;
Data = (byte)(Data | 0x80);
Data = (byte)(Data >> 1);

or declare date as int and convert to byte at the end (if you are sure it fits into byte)

int Data = 0x00;
Data = Data | 0x80;
Data = Data >> 1;
byte bData = (byte)Data;
