Hi,

Converting from string to byte[] is dependand of the encoding of the
string, instead of using BitConverter as for the others types you need to
use one of the Enocding classes ( ASCIIEncoding, UnicodeEncoding, etc)

Then you have

string GetString( byte[] )
and

byte[] GetBytes( string)

No, because that's not the purpose of Streams.

However, StreamReaders and StreamWriters are akin to that, and Encoding
gives you exactly String/bytes conversions.
