Hi,

You first have to select the encoding of the string, let's say it's ASCII ,
then you can do this ( taken from MSDN ) :

Byte[] bytes;
String chars = "ASCII Encoding Example";

ASCIIEncoding ascii = new ASCIIEncoding();

bytes = ascii.GetBytes(chars );

Console.Write("Encoded bytes: ");
foreach (Byte b in bytes) {
Console.Write("[{0}]", b);
}


Hope this help,

It's a shame this example is from MSDN - there's really no point in
creating another instance of ASCIIEncoding when there's already an
instance of it available via the Encoding.ASCII property. There's also
no need to declare the byte array first. I would have changed this to:

byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (chars);

which I think is considerably simpler and easier to read...
