String to bytes:

C#

byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("CodeBegin");

Bytes to string:

C#

string foo = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes);

Solution 2

Get the data in the data reader then

Look at this conversion

byte[] binaryData = reader[1];
string text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binaryData); 
or
byte[] binaryData = reader[1]; 
string text = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(binaryData);

Thanks,
SP
