Convert eight bytes into a string

Question

i have eight byte variables:

Byte7 = 0 dez, hex: 00
Byte6 = 2 dez, hex: 02
Byte5 = 32 dez, hex: 20
Byte4 = 33 dez, hex: 21
Byte3 = 17 dez, hex: 11
Byte2 = 37 dez, hex: 25
Byte1 = 3 dez, hex: 03
Byte0 = 88 dez, hex: 58

Question: How can i put all these together into only one string that then has the hex-value of each byte? The result string should be like this: 0002202111250358

Thanks

If you want to generalise this to any number of bytes (within reason) you could write a helper method to do this:

public static string BytesToString(params byte[] bytes)
{
    return string.Concat(bytes.Select(b => b.ToString("X2")));
}

Which you can then call with any number of bytes:

public static void Main()
{
    byte Byte7 = 0;
    byte Byte6 = 2;
    byte Byte5 = 32;
    byte Byte4 = 33;
    byte Byte3 = 17;
    byte Byte2 = 37;
    byte Byte1 = 3;
    byte Byte0 = 88;

    var result = BytesToString(Byte7, Byte6, Byte5, Byte4, Byte3, Byte2, Byte1, Byte0);
    Console.WriteLine(result); // 0002202111250358
}
