Is there any common way to correctly marshal a struct such that the resulting bytes are in network byte order? I have a file format that requires this order for compatibility. Currently I'm storing each chunk as a struct and am using Marshal to convert it to/from bytes. Seems to work fine other than being little endian. Is there something like a MarshalAs attribute for controlling byte order?
Being part of platform/invoke, Marshal* & friends are not suitable for byte order conversions because they follow (by design) the conventions of platform they are working on.
Couldn't find a general .NET/C# way other than doing it with Array.Reverse() each time. I thought Mono might have dealt with such a cross platform issue itself..
