ASP.NET: Convert Byte Array to String
Convert a byte array to a string and a string to a byte array (.NET Framework).
When working with files that contain both binary and text, it may be useful to convert a byte array into a unicode string.
using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\\Windows\\Temp\\tempfile.tmp", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.Read))
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(bytes, (int)0, (int)fs.Length);
string data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes); // convert the byte array to a string
// do something here
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data); // convert the string back into a byte array
using (System.IO.FileStream fs2 = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\\Images\\file.jpg", System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, System.IO.FileAccess.Write, System.IO.FileShare.Read))
{
fs2.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
}
