c# string hex to byte code example

Example 1: c# convert byte to char

byte[] bytes = {Byte.MinValue, 40, 80, 120, 180, Byte.MaxValue};
char result;
foreach (byte number in bytes)
{
   result = Convert.ToChar(number);
   Console.WriteLine("{0} converts to '{1}'.", number, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       0 converts to ' '.
//       40 converts to '('.
//       80 converts to 'P'.
//       120 converts to 'x'.
//       180 converts to '''.
//       255 converts to 'ÿ'.

Example 2: 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;
}
