In a previous article,
Convert a String to a Byte Array in C#, I showed how to convert a string to a byte array. In this article, is an example that shows how to go from a byte array back to a string.
First, you'll need this enum:
#region EncodingType enum
/// <summary>
/// Encoding Types.
/// </summary>
public enum EncodingType
{
ASCII,
Unicode,
UTF7,
UTF8
}
#endregion
Then this function:
#region ByteArrayToString
/// <summary>
/// Converts a byte array to a string using Unicode encoding.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bytes">Array of bytes to be converted.</param>
/// <returns>string</returns>
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] bytes)
{
return ByteArrayToString(bytes, EncodingType.Unicode);
}
/// <summary>
/// Converts a byte array to a string using specified encoding.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bytes">Array of bytes to be converted.</param>
/// <param name="encodingType">EncodingType enum.</param>
/// <returns>string</returns>
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] bytes, EncodingType encodingType)
{
System.Text.Encoding encoding=null;
switch (encodingType)
{
case EncodingType.ASCII:
encoding=new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
break;
case EncodingType.Unicode:
encoding=new System.Text.UnicodeEncoding();
break;
case EncodingType.UTF7:
encoding=new System.Text.UTF7Encoding();
break;
case EncodingType.UTF8:
encoding=new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
break;
}
return encoding.GetString(bytes);
}
#endregion
