Convert byte[] buf[offset] to int16
<p>I'm getting a compile error </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Unable to convert int to short".</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<pre><code>public Int16 GetInt16(byte[] buf, int offset)
{
    Int16 value = 0;

    value += buf[offset] &lt;&lt; 8;

    return value;
}
</code></pre>
