convert to an array of octet?

[Guoqi Zheng]

Dear sir,

I am not fully understand the meaning of octet. For example, if I have a
string contains unicode data of some Chinese characters, how can I convert
it to an array of octet?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

From what i can tell octet is another word for byte. Try something like
this.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/O/octet.html

Dim strTest As String = "convert to octet"

Dim arOctet() As Byte

arOctet = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(strTest)
