BitConverter.IsLittleEndian

This field indicates the "endianess" of the architecture.

[Visual Basic]
Public Shared ReadOnly IsLittleEndian As Boolean
[C#]
public static readonly bool IsLittleEndian;
[C++]
public: static readonly bool IsLittleEndian;
[JScript]
public static var IsLittleEndian : Boolean;

Remarks

This value is true if the architecture is little-endian; false if it is big-endian.

Different machine architectures sometimes store data using different byte orders. Big-endian means the most significant byte is on the left end of a word. Little-endian means the most significant byte is on the right end of a word.
