How do I convert a String to an array of Bytes and vice versa???

Thanks.

Emad,

Please don't crosspost.

Use the appropriate System.Text.Encoding derived class, depending on
how you want the text encoded.

you could do (from string to byte array):
        Dim b() As Byte
        Dim utf As New System.Text.UTF7Encoding()
        b = utf.GetBytes("hello world")
and (from byte array to string):
        Dim s As String = utf.GetString(b)
        Console.WriteLine("and string is {0}", s)
