How to convert a string to MemoryStream

I have a string variable.
How can I convert the string to MemoryStream?

ad,

Attach the MemoryStream to a StreamWriter, and then call one of the
Write methods on the StreamWriter. This will convert using the Encoding set
on the StreamWriter, and convert your characters to the byte stream.

Hope this helps.

..NET 2.0

byte[] a = System.Text.Enc oding.GetEncodi ng("iso-8859-1").GetBytes("m y
string");
System.IO.Memor yStream m = new System.IO.Memor yStream(a);

Thanks,
But what does GetEncoding("is o-8859-1") mean?
Can I use
System.Text.Enc oding.Unicode.G etBytes(("my string");

It means to use the ISO-Latin-1 encoding.
Can I use
System.Text.Enc oding.Unicode.G etBytes(("my string");
Absolutely. It'll give you different results though. A stream
inherently deals with binary data, and a string is comprised of
character data. The encoding you use specifies the conversion from the
character data to binary data. For instance, using Encoding.Unicod e you
will always see two bytes for each character. Using
Encoding.GetEnc oding("iso-8859-1") you will always see one byte per
character, but many characters will not be represented correctly.
