how to get byte array from string?

[Guest]

is there a quick way to convert string into byte array or do I have to
iterate through and convert each character into a byte?

MrNobody,

Probably you want the

System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(437).GetBytes(Str.ReadToEnd);

I hope this helps?

Use Encoding.GetBytes - and see
http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html for more information
about Unicode. (You can't convert every character into a single byte
unless you are prepared to only handle a subset of possible characters.
That's true for some encodings, but you should be aware that you need
to know what encoding you want to use.)
