you can remove empty array. Your code should look like byte[] MainArray = new byte[4096]; byte[] String = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("hello world"); Array.Copy(String, 0, MainArray, 0, String.Length); MainArray = MainArray.Where(v => v >...

Either don't send the large array - use one the size of the data you want to transfer, or prefix your actual data bytes with the number of relevant ones and only convert those at the other end.
