Hi,

Does anyone know a neat and tidy way of converting a string of Hex values
into a byte array. I am given strings of Hex values in the format -
"8F5E6EBABC0E2F9249E5C2010708C834" that need to be encrypted. At the moment
I am looping through the length of the string (using step 2) and then
extrracting the values out using hex calculations eg 8*16 + 15 for 8F.

I am finding the number of ToString, ToBase64 etc methods that are dotted
around hard to keep a track of at times. Are there any convert funcions
built into Dotnet that would help?

Thanks for the help

Dan
