How to convert a hex number (in a string variable) to a byte.

[Pubs]

Hi,

I have a variable, a string that contains a hex number (max is FF).
I want to convert it to a byte value. Could some one let me know how
is it to be done. I have seen conversion of direct numbers but it does
not work in this case.

Convert.ToByte(text, 16);

Yet another way:

byte b = byte.Parse("FF",
System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
