Ive just discovered winsock doesnt like User Defined types so I figure it will be easier to convert the entire block of data into a byte array, send that and then convert back into its components in the type at the other end.

Bytes and strings are easy to do but I cant seem to find any reference as to how integers, long integers, singles and doubles are assembled except for how many bytes long they are.

I know that 1 bit is used to determine if the value is positive or negative but is it the most or least significant bit and in what order are the bytes stored to create the value.
