Hi All,

I have a requirement to convert string to byte.

Do you know if there are any standard methods already available or code to achieve this.

Thanks,

Anand

Hi Anand,

Probably the blog from Munib can help you here: dynamicsnavax.blogspot.com/.../print-report-as-byte-array-via-x-in.html

You mean a byte array and not a single byte, right?

An easy way is using GetBytes() method of the Encoding class. For example:

str s = "abcd"; System.Text.Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding::UTF8; System.Byte[] array = encoding.GetBytes(s);

Thanks Andre and Martin for your reply.

Yes, I could achieve using a code similar to this. Since I needed to convert strings of Japanese language, I used below code:

str s = "abcd";

System.Text.Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding::GetEncoding(932);

System.Byte[] array = encoding.GetBytes(s);

and it was returning the byte array.

hi Anand, if you want to get the Byte array.

str strSrc = "dynamics"

System.Byte[] byte;

System.Text.Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding::get_UTF8();

byte = encoding.GetBytes(strSrc);
