How to display array byte in C#?

Question

I use C# Windows Form. I seem need convert to string. How I can do this?

byte[] data = new byte[256];

try string result = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(data); — loli, Aug 10 '15 at 15:25

@Babaev what do you mean? Do you want to display the hexadecimal values or convert UTF/ASCII data to a string? — Panagiotis Kanavos, Aug 10 '15 at 15:28

Make sure you're using System.Text and this should work:

string mystr = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);

That would produce meaningful results only if the original data was a UTF8 string – Panagiotis Kanavos Aug 10 '15 at 15:27
@PanagiotisKanavos Yes but I don't have enough reputation to ask what Encoding he was using but usually it's UTF8 or ASCII. Thanks for specifying that though. – Ousmane Traore Aug 10 '15 at 15:28
Why do you assume it's text data in the first place? – Panagiotis Kanavos Aug 10 '15 at 15:29
@PanagiotisKanavos He's trying to convert it to a string... – Ousmane Traore Aug 10 '15 at 15:31
