C# .NET - Type conversion

Hi all

regards

 System.Text.ASCIIEncoding  encoding=new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
    encoding.GetBytes(str);

hello

In C#, use System.Text.Encoding, which has identical behaviour to the function in VB.NET.

byte[] abData;
string Str;
int i;
Str = "Hello world!";
// Convert string to bytes
abData = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(Str);
for (i = 0; i < abData.Length; i++)
{
	Console.WriteLine("{0:X}", abData[i]);
}
// Convert bytes to string
Str = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(abData);
Console.WriteLine("'{0}'", Str);
