title: CRC-ITU calculation in c#
body: <p>I'm new to C#. I need to calculate CRC-ITU for the packet recieved from GPS devices. There is C code provided in the documentation but i don't know how to port it to C#, anyone could help me?</p>
  
  <p>here is CRC-ITU algorithm in C :</p>

  <p>here is some example in the documentation :</p>

  <p>Start bit : 0x78 0x78
  lenght : 0x0D
  Protocol No. : 0x01
  Device ID : 0x01 0x23 0x45 0x67 0x89 0x01 0x23 0x45
  Serial No. : 0x00 0x01
  CRC Verify : 0x8C 0xDD
  Stop Bit : 0x0D 0x0A</p>
  
  <p>quote from documentation :</p>
  
  <p>Device or server can judge the accuracy of data received with identifying code. Sometimes, because of the electronic noise or other interference, data will be changed a little in the transit process. In this case, identifying code can make sure the core or associated core do nothing with such kind of wrong data, which will strengthen the security and efficiency of system. This identifying code adopts CRC-ITU identifying method. The CRC-ITU value is from "Package Length' to "Information Serial Number" in the protocol (including "Package Length" and "Information Serial Number ").
  If the receiver receives CRC wrong calculating information, then ignore it and discard this data package.</p>
  
  <p>So anyone have idea how to get crc value from above example? thx</p>
