I want to convert string into ascii and storing it into byte array. I know the simplest way for this is
Encoding.ASCII.GestBytes
but what I want is
byte[] temp = new byte[];
temp = Encoding.ASCII.GestBytes("DEMO1");
Thus when I do
Console.WriteLine(temp[i])
it should print out 68 69 77 48 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 instead of 68 69 77 48
How can I achieve this?
Be aware that if the buffer is too much small, this will throw:
byte[] temp = new byte[10];
string str = "DEMO1";
Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str, 0, str.Length, temp, 0);
There is no easy way, compatible with UTF8, to handle it (because UTF8 has variable-length characters). For ASCII and other fixed length encodings you could:
byte[] temp = new byte[10];
string str = "DEMO1";
Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str, 0, Math.Min(str.Length, temp.Length), temp, 0);
Or, in general you could:
string str = "DEMO1";
byte[] temp = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str);
Array.Resize(ref temp, 10);
and this would work even with UTF8.
