String to byte array

I wonder is there any way can easily convert a String to a byte array in VB.NET?

there is only two easy options:

1. convert your string to char-array
2. convert to base64 string

maybe someone found another easy solution,

good luck

That doesn't describe much.

I think there's an Encoding class in the System.Text namespace. Look on your MSDN help to learn how to use it. The UTF8 encoding class should have the procedure your looking for.

Ahh, here's come code:

Code:

---

        Dim strText As String = "This is a test."
        Dim btArray() As Byte

        btArray = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strText)
