how to get byte array from string?

is there a quick way to convert string into byte array or do I have to
iterate through and convert each character into a byte?

MrNobody,

Probably you want the

System.Text.Enc oding.GetEncodi ng(437).GetByte s(Str.ReadToEnd );

I hope this helps?

Use Encoding.GetByt es - and see
http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html for more information
about Unicode. (You can't convert every character into a single byte
unless you are prepared to only handle a subset of possible characters.
That's true for some encodings, but you should be aware that you need
to know what encoding you want to use.)

Hello, all. I've created a C# dll that contains, among other things, two functions dealing with byte arrays. The first is a function that returns a byte array, and the other is intended to receive a byte array as one of its parameters. The project is marked for COM interop, and that all proceeds normally. When I reference the type library in the VB6 project, and write the code to call the function that returns the byte array, it works

Apologies if this is a noob question, but I've been struggling with this for quite a while...

The byte array will...

Hi, I have to go from Byte() to String, do some processing then reconvert the String to byte() but using ascii format, not unicode. I currently use a stream to write the char() (BinaryWriter.Write) from the string (String.ToCharArray), then use Stream.ToArray to convert everything to byte(). It works most of the time, but it happens that an error tells me something like "Additional information: Caractère de substitution faible trouvé...

I am working on a project where I will receive xml documents from clients machines as a byte array. They will use the web browser navigate method to post the data to my ASP.NET page. I then pick up the byte array using the request object (XMLData=bytearray..). Can someone point me to an article that shows me how I can do this in ASP.NET, C#? Thanks Danny
