Assign value to type byte[] in c#

How can I set a value to a byte[]

I have tried the following but I get a compilation error:

byte[] XMLbyte=null;
XMLbyte = byte(2345)

Any suggestions how I can do this?

Try this: byte[] temp = new byte [255];

Or this: byte[] temp = new byte [123];

Some options to initialize an array:

XMLbyte = new byte[50]; // creates an array with 50 elements, all values are zero.
XMLbyte = new byte[3] {1,2,3}; // creates an array with 3 elements: 1,2,3
XMLbyte = new byte[] {1,2,3}; // creates an array with 3 elements: 1,2,3
XMLbyte = {1,2,3}; // creates an array with 3 elements: 1,2,3

You must XMLbyte = new byte[2345];

maybe you want a bytearray from "2345" string ?

System.Text.UTF8Encoding  encoding=new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
XMLbyte = encoding.GetBytes("2345");

You are looking for the GetBytes method:

byte[] XMLbyte = BitConverter.GetBytes(2345);

Well, it seems silly but I think you are missing the new operator

XMLbyte = new byte[2345]

byte[] is an array of bytes. You might want just the byte type.
