How to convert Int to 8-byte little-endian

Question

Is there a way to convert the integer into a byte[8] instead of a byte[4] array?

I think it always should be a `byte[4]` since LE uses 4 bytes. — Patrick Hofman, Sep 12 '14 at 09:44
In C# `int` is 4 bytes. Where do you want to get the other 4 bytes from? — user703016, Sep 12 '14 at 09:44
Just cast to `long` before converting to LE. "Filling" with zeroes would make any negative number a different positive number. — C.Evenhuis, Sep 12 '14 at 09:46
ok so, when i use long (instead int) from the beginning i will get byte[8] — user4013391, Sep 12 '14 at 09:51

Just cast the int to long before converting to Little Endian.
