Convert image/png string representation into byte array in C#

From a call to an external API my method receives an image/png as an IRestResponse where the Content property is a string representation.

I need to convert this string representation of image/png into a byte array without saving it first and then going File.ReadAllBytes. How can I achieve this?

Solution

  • I have found that the IRestResponse from RestSharp actually contains a 'RawBytes' property which is of the response content. This meets my needs and no conversion is necessary!
