C# Convert a string to ASCII bytes

Question

I have a string:

LogoDataStr = \"ABC0000\"

I want to convert to ASCII bytes and the result should be:

LogoDataBy[0] = 0x41;         


        

Answer 1

    class CustomAscii
    {
        private static Dictionary dictionary;

        static CustomAscii()
        {
            byte numcounter = 0x30;
            byte charcounter = 0x41;
            byte ucharcounter = 0x61;
            string numbers = "0123456789";
            string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
            string uchars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
            dictionary = new Dictionary();
            foreach (char c in numbers)
            {
                dictionary.Add(c, numcounter++);
            }
            foreach (char c in chars)
            {
                dictionary.Add(c, charcounter++);
            }
            foreach (char c in uchars)
            {
                dictionary.Add(c, ucharcounter++);
            }
        }

        public static byte[] getCustomBytes(string t)
        {
            int iter = 0;
            byte[] b = new byte[t.Length];
            foreach (char c in t)
            {
                b[iter] = dictionary[c];
                //DEBUG: Console.WriteLine(b[iter++].ToString());
            }

            return b;
        }
    }

This is how i would do it. JUST IF Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes() would return wrong values.
