Depending on exactly what you want, BitConverter is usually the way to
go.

While that will indeed convert an int into an array of bytes, I'm not
sure it's likely to be the format the OP is looking for - I suspect
BitConverter is more likely to be useful.
 
Yes, it was useful. But again i got one problem of using this UTF8

1. I have one string that i'm encrypting and getiing byte[]
but in SQL data base i have the field type varchar for that one i converting
that
byte[] to string and storing database. when I'm going to Decrypt that string
i'm getting length problem.

guide me in this regard.

Are you trying to convert the byte[] to a string just by using
Encoding.UTF8.GetString()? You shouldn't - you should use base 64 to
convert *arbitrary* binary data to a string and back again. See
Convert.ToBase64String and Convert.FromBase64String.
