String to byte array

[Dan C]

Is there a routine in c# that will transform a string
ie"Hello Mom" into a
Byte[] array. I have found
char[] cTmp = pString.ToCharA rray();

But I have not been able to figure out how to convert a char into a hex
value and place that value into the byte[].

Thanks for your help

6F.
I think that these values will still fit in the byte array.

Byte arrays aren't *in* decimal or hex particularly - they're just
numbers. There's no difference between (say) decimal 16 and hex 10. If
you need to *display* the hex values, then just change how you're
formatting each byte - it's nothing to do with what byte is being
formatted though.

Thanks that was what I needed to know. One last thing is there a better way
to overlay MasterByte[11] to MasterByte[20] with a NewByte array of 10
items?

I currently am using a loop
int nOffset = current posisition in MasterByte array
for(int i = 0; i < newArray.GetUpp erBound(0); i++)
{
MasterByte [nOffset++] = NewByte[x];
}

Thanks again
