Converting between strings and binary data (XAML)
The following example shows how to convert a string to binary data.
public void ConvertData()
{
// Create a string to convert.
String strIn = "Input String";
// Convert the string to UTF16BE binary data.
IBuffer buffUTF16BE = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strIn, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf16BE);
// Convert the string to UTF16LE binary data.
IBuffer buffUTF16LE = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strIn, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf16LE);
// Convert the string to UTF8 binary data.
IBuffer buffUTF8 = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strIn, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8);
}
