me in the right direction please?

Look at the System.Text.Enc oding classes, for example AsciiEncoding,
UTF8Encoding, etc.

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html

Basically, you need Encoding.GetByt es and Encoding.GetStr ing.

If I have a byte and I convert it to string (String sData = new String(byte bData), then convert it back (byte bData = sData.getBytes()), will all data be intact, or do Strings have problems with bytes that are not printable characters? I've tested this and it seems to work fine, but I want to make sure there isn't some condition or situation I'm not aware of that could cause problems. I'm doing this because it's easier to do some of my...

I've never done this in C# so I don't know what the appropriate way of doing it is. I've got an array of bytes and I need to convert the array into "usable" data. For example, the first 4 bytes need to be converted to an enum. The next 4 bytes to a 32-bit int. And so on. I'm basically populating a struct with the data. How does one do this in C#? Thanks.

Hi, We are having problem in converting a byte array to string, The byte array has char(174), char(175), char(240), char(242) and char(247) as delimiters for the message. when we use "System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytearray)" of .Net library, we found that the char (delimiters) specified above are replaced with different char.

I note that you can null teminate a string by adding controlchar.null. Is there a way of adding a null to a Buffer of Bytes and converting it to a string. I have packets coming in from a serial ports as bytes and some of these represent strings. (Like the Packed BCD date/time stamp etc). At present I read through each Byte and convert to char and append to a string.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
