I have a byte array that contains 8-bit ascii characters. I'm not
particular about the codepage used to display them, but I have to
preserve the position in the string with something and be able to back
to the original byte implementation.
For example, this doesn't work:
// Bytes for .02{cent} in my standard codepage
byte [] ba = new Byte [] { 0x2e, 0x30, 0x32, 0x9b };
string s = System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII.Get String(ba);
Console.WriteLi ne(s);
byte [] nb = Encoding.ASCII. GetBytes(s);
Console.WriteLi ne("{0:x} {1:x} {2:x} {3:x}",
nb[0], nb[1], nb[2], nb[3]);
What I get is:
..02{left arrow}
2e 30 32 1b
As expected, the 9b became 1b because the encoding was ASCII -- 7 bits.
[The cent sign became a left-arrow because of the codepage
differences. Fine. That's okay.]
What I want is:
..02{cent}
2e 30 32 9b
What I absolutely need to be able to do is convert the byte array into
a string, and then back to a byte array and then have it come back with
the same byte representation on the way out again.
Any help? 6 33855
Try UTF-8.

Quick answer, but wrong. I tried it with no joy. Try it and see.
An e-mail reply I just received suggested:
byte [] ba = new Byte [] { 0x2e, 0x30, 0x32, 0x9b };
string s = System.Text.Enc oding.Default.G etString(ba);
Console.WriteLi ne(s);
byte [] nb = Encoding.Defaul t.GetBytes(s);
Console.WriteLi ne("{0:x} {1:x} {2:x} {3:x}",
nb[0], nb[1], nb[2], nb[3]);
And this yeilds the expected results.
Thanks for replying, though!
Glad you got it worked out.

There's no such thing as 8-bit ASCII, and being "not particular about
the codepage" is pretty much the wrong approach to solve the problem.

Use the following to maintain your 8 bit ascii.
Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEnc oding(1252); mc****@cox.net

Again,
there's no 8 bit ASCII, just 8 bit character sets like Windows 125x or
ISO-8859-x that extend the original ASCII character set as defined as
ISO-646.
