String To Byte Array

[LeeSalter]

Hello,

does anybody know how to convert a string to a byte array and vice versa in VB .NET?

I've looked at the System.Bitconverter class and that seems to be able to convert a byte array to a string, but not a string to a byte array. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I think it's not forward conversion . but these links maybe helps more !

Dim oEncoder As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding()
Dim aByte() As Byte = oEncoder.GetBytes(yourstringhere)
