Convert string to byte as it is

Question

I have seen many questions regarding this conversion,but neither worked for me.

I have a string with value as

string i=10;

I need to convert the string to byte as 0x10

I tried

 Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(i);

It doesn't worked. Please help

Answer 1

You can convert from string to byte using the Convert class. It allows you to specify a base as second parameter.

So if you want to convert a hexadecimal string to byte, you can use this:

string i = "10";
Convert.ToByte(i, 16) // => 16
