Converting strings to unicode

[CollinMcGuire]

I have to turn strings into Unicode. I thought the best way to do this would be as followed

For...Next to get the string
For...Next to take each character out of the string
For...Next to display each character in Unicode

The only problem I have is with the separation on each character in the string. I know I have to use a For...Next loop to check each spot in the string. But how would I move on past the first character?

Something like this, though I am not sure that the encoding is the one you want.

        Dim st As String = "Test"

        Dim myEnc As New System.Text.UnicodeEncoding

        Dim b() As Byte = New Byte() {}

        b = myEnc.GetBytes(st)

I get the basic idea, the encoding one you used isn't what I was looking for but I think I can turn it into what I need.
