It depends which encoding you want to use - the commoner ones being UTF-8 ASCII or Unicode. In .NET all strings are stored in Unicode format (normally 2 bytes per character) and the following program shows how you can convert a string to a byte array and back again using this encoding: using System; using System.Text; class Test { static void Main() { string s = Anusha; Encoding enc = Encoding.Unicode; byte[] ba = enc.GetBytes(s); foreach(byte b in ba) Console.Write({0}  b); Console.WriteLine(); string t = enc.GetString(ba); Console.WriteLine(t); Console.ReadKey(); } } The output is: 65 0 110 0 117 0 115 0 104 0 97 0 Anusha
