How to convert ASCII to Unicode.

[Rationalist]

Hi, I'm trying to convert a Ascii string to Unicode, but I fail to do so.

Dim bbb As Byte = Byte.Parse(StringTobeConverted)

System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.Convert(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, bbb)

And I get the following confusing error:

Value of type 'Byte' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.

Thanks

I think you need this

Dim bbb() As Byte = Byte.Parse(StringTobeConverted)

that doesn't work

Error:
(307): Value of type 'Byte' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.

The encoding mathod needs a byte array

Dim b As Byte = Byte.Parse("123")
Dim bb(1) As Byte
bb(0) = b
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.Convert(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, bb)

...if it works dont mess with it
