StrConv(UData, vbFromUnicode) Problem

[sbcglobal]

I am using VS .Net 2003 and trying to convert a unicode data (vb .net
default string type?) to single byte using

BData = StrConv(UData, vbFromUnicode)

it is a method mentioned in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;174923 but the
problem is vbFromUnicode is not supported in my version of vs .net, anyone
knows what is the equivalent function in vs .net 2003?

Which destination encoding do you need? For Unicode use

dim b as byte()
b = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(UData)

To get other encoding, use other members of System.Text.Encoding.
