Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the ByteExtensions extension methods to convert byte arrays to various string representations and detect Unicode encoding.

using System;
using System.Text;
using Cuemon.Extensions;

namespace MyApp.Examples;

public static class ByteExtensionsExample
{
    public static void Demonstrate()
    {
        byte[] data = { 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF, 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F };
        string text = data.ToEncodedString();
        string hex = data.ToHexadecimalString();
        string binary = data.ToBinaryString();
        string base64 = data.ToBase64String();
        string urlBase64 = data.ToUrlEncodedBase64String();

        data.TryDetectUnicodeEncoding(out Encoding detectedEncoding);

        Console.WriteLine(text);
        Console.WriteLine(hex);
        Console.WriteLine(binary);
        Console.WriteLine(base64);
        Console.WriteLine(urlBase64);
        Console.WriteLine(detectedEncoding?.WebName ?? "unknown");
    }
}

Methods

Name	Description
ToBase64String(byte[])	Converts an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent string representation that is encoded with base-64 digits.
ToBinaryString(byte[])	Converts the specified bytes to its equivalent binary representation.
ToEncodedString(byte[], Action<EncodingOptions>)	Converts the specified bytes to a string using the provided preferred encoding.
ToHexadecimalString(byte[])	Converts the specified bytes to its equivalent hexadecimal representation.
ToUrlEncodedBase64String(byte[])	Encodes a byte array into its equivalent string representation using base 64 digits, which is usable for transmission on the URL.
TryDetectUnicodeEncoding(byte[], out Encoding)	Tries to resolve the Unicode Encoding object from the specified byte array.
