Convert Strings to Byte arrays and back
A lot of this stuff in .NET isn't explained well enough in MSDN to
immediately see how something works. I just play around with the different
parts of it and I make mental notes of things as I learn them.
Unfortunately, there's no real science about it. .NET is so different from
before that it's just going to take time for us to learn all the little
details. :-)
Take care,
