Convert string to hex-string in C#

I have a string like "sample". I want to get a string of it in hex format; like this:

"796173767265"

Please give the C# syntax.

Solution

  • First you'll need to get it into a byte[], so do this:

    byte[] ba = Encoding.Default.GetBytes("sample");

    and then you can get the string:

    var hexString = BitConverter.ToString(ba);

    now, that's going to return a string with dashes (-) in it so you can then simply use this:

    hexString = hexString.Replace("-", "");

    to get rid of those if you want.

    NOTE: you could use a different Encoding if you needed to.
