ByteTools

A .Net library to convert between byte arrays and strings using hex (base 16) encoding i.e. each byte is represented by 2 hex characters.

The implementation makes use of an efficient table lookup that is approx 16x faster than using System.BitConverter:

System.BitConverter.ToString(x).Replace("-", "")

Examples in C#

To convert from hex string to byte array:

var b = HexEncoding.GetBytes("2FA5"); // returns new byte [] { 0x2f, 0xa5 }

To convert from byte array to hex string:

var s = HexEncoding.GetString(new byte[] { 0x2f, 0xa5 }); // returns "2FA5"
