How can I transfer raw binary data from a byte[] to a string (or char[])
without encoding the data in any way?

You can't. It's like asking to transfer a number as a colour without
encoding the number at all. The way you convert the byte array to the
string is exactly the encoding in question.

If it's arbitrary binary data, I'd suggest using Base64 - there are
handy methods in the Convert class to help you.
