Hi all,
I think most of you probably know the two .NET framework functions, namely Encoding.GetByt es(string) and Encoding.GetStr ing(byte[]), to convert string into byte array and vice versa.
Now, I want to do the same thing in pure(unmanaged) C++.
I searched the Internet but could not find any satisfactory solutions. I am really in need of help! Is there anyone to explain how I can implement these functions by not using .NET library?
Thanks a lot...

Hi. In c++, BYTE is an unsigned char and a string is a char array. Could you let us know where you want to start and where you want to end and why?

if you are using C++ strings the c_str() function will return a const pointer to an array of char where each char is a byte?

Hi willakawill,
I am working on a basic client/server application. Here, it is supposed to encrypt some data and send the encrypted data to each other in xml packets.
The encryption algorithm I used, takes byte array as argument and gives byte array as output. Since the resultant byte array cannot be directly inserted into the xml packet, I need to convert it into a string. Also, the other side needs to convert it into the byte array to use after parsing the xml packet.
I hope the problem is clear.
To make more clear, I need the following two functions:
1. a function takes a string parameter and returns the unsigned char array representation of the string
2. a function takes a unsigned char array parameter and returns the string representation of the array

if you usethe C++ string class

the c_str() function will do (1) and there is a constructor to do 2.
If you're using std::string, that won't be necessary, because a C++ string is already a byte array. Use string.length() to get the number of bytes, and string.data() to get a pointer to the first byte. But it really depends on what you plan to do with those bytes.
