    using(var file =  File.Create("out.bin"))
    using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(file))
    {
        foreach (short value in list)
        {
            writer.Write(value);
        }
    }

note this assumes you want to use your CPUs endianness.

Have a look at BinaryFormatter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.formatters.binary.binaryformatter%28v=vs.71%29.aspx

Try to use 

using(BinaryWriter binWriter = new BinaryWriter(File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Create)))
{
     binWriter.Write(what_you_want);
}
