FromString method
Xceed Binary Encoding control reference > Methods > FromString method

Description

Converts a string containing only ASCII characters to a variant byte array.

The FromString method allows you to convert a string (which was originally converted to a string using the ToString method) back to a variant byte array. This is especially useful when the encoded or decoded data was transferred or stored as a string because it must be converted back to a variant byte array before it can be used by the appropriate method or property.

Parameters 

Parameter Description
sData The string to convert.

Return value

Returns a variant byte array containing the converted ASCII characters.
