Convert a string to stream

Hello,
Is there an easy way to convert a string to a stream?
Thanks

re: Convert a string to stream

I found this...
Stream stream = new
MemoryStream(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes(pr intbuffer));
but when I compile, it gives me this...
An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property
'System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(string)'

What does this mean?
Thanks for any help...

Does System.IO.StringReader does what you want? If not, you could use
an Encoding to get the bytes from the string, then
System.IO.MemoryStream to build a stream from those bytes.

Hi Randy?

What you mean with that?

The best I can think of would be like

MemoryStream mstream = new MemoryStream( BitConverter.GetBytes(
string_var) );

Cheers,

StringReader seems to work great! Thanks for your help...

re: Convert a string to stream

Hi Randy,

You are missing the ASCII property form ASCIIEncoding:
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("test");
instead of:
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes(printbuffer)


BTW, I posted before an incorrect post, BitConverter.GetBytes() does not
have an overload for string , please ignore it.

Cheers,

Note that it's actually a property of Encoding, not ASCIIEncoding -
it's just visible through ASCIIEncoding as well, of course. I
personally prefer to read:

Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;

rather than

Encoding ascii = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII;

- the latter gives the impression that the property is a member of the
ASCIIEncoding class.

(Obviously the same goes for the other built-in encodings.)
