Hi.

Does anyone have a snippet of code that will convert a character string to a
byte array?  I've nearly smashed my head against the wall trying to figure
this out.

I'm Using vb.net 2003

The problem that I am running into is that System.Type.GetType("Byte")
returns null.  Anybody know why?  I've tried code similiar to the following
to achieve my results:

Dim theCommand as New ArrayList
For each c as Char in InputTextBox.Text.ToCharArray()
    theCommand.Add(c)
Next
Dim TempArray as Byte()
TempArray = theCommand.ToArray(System.Type.GetType("Byte"))
' The above line should give me a byte array of the previous text, but
instead it just errors saying that System.Type.GetType("Byte")) is null

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

-- Jason

Jason,

That needs no snippet, the text.encoding class is complete for that.

I hope this helps,
