ByteViewer Control in Winform, get ANSI value of the given input

There is a ByteViewer Control directly available in the .NET Framework. How do I get the data in a ANSI format from this control and assign to a string variable?

My input will be in hexadecimal form.

Solution

  • You'll have to convert the bytes to a string using the C# Encoding class. I'm assuming ANSI is ISO-8859-1. 

    var bytes = byteViewer.GetBytes();
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
string result = encoding.GetString(bytes);
