c#s string to byte code example

Example 1: c# string to byte[]

using System.Text;
public static byte[] encode(string stringToEncode)
{
  UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UtF8Encoding();
  byte[] bytename = new byte[1024];
bytename = utf8.GetBytes(stringToEncode);
  return bytename;
}

Example 2: c# number to byte

public byte[] ConvertNumToByte(int Number)
{
  byte[] ByteArray = new byte[32];
  string BinString = Convert.ToString(Number, 2);
  char[] BinCharArray = BinString.ToCharArray();
  try
  {
    System.Array.Reverse(BinCharArray);
    if (BinCharArray != null && BinCharArray.Length > 0)
    {
      for (int index = 0; index < BinCharArray.Length; ++index)
      {
        ByteArray[index] = Convert.ToByte(Convert.ToString(BinCharArray[index]));
      }
    }
  }
  catch
  {
  }
  return ByteArray;
}
