There is a class called BitVector32 which lets you encapsulate your bit values into 32 bit number. Sorry about yesterday's answer, I just found this today.

Use the BitConverter class to create basic types (like bytes or ints) from bytes.

There is also a class called BitArray that can be used to store bit representations:

.Net only receives data in byte (the smallest unit), you can use BitConverter to convert various value type to byte of array and vice verse.
