You can use Convert.ToHexString
starting with .NET 5.
There's also a method for the reverse operation: Convert.FromHexString
.
For older versions of .NET you can either use:
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder(ba.Length * 2);
foreach (byte b in ba)
hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
return hex.ToString();
}
or:
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
return BitConverter.ToString(ba).Replace("-","");
}
There are even more variants of doing it, for example here.
The reverse conversion would go like this:
public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
int NumberChars = hex.Length;
byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
return bytes;
}
Using Substring
is the best option in combination with Convert.ToByte
. See this answer for more information. If you need better performance, you must avoid Convert.ToByte
before you can drop SubString
.
Basic usage of .ajax
would look something like this:
HTML:
<form id="foo">
<label for="bar">A bar</label>
<input id="bar" name="bar" type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
jQuery:
// Variable to hold request
var request;
// Bind to the submit event of our form
$("#foo").submit(function(event){
// Prevent default posting of form - put here to work in case of errors
event.preventDefault();
// Abort any pending request
if (request) {
request.abort();
}
// setup some local variables
var $form = $(this);
// Let's select and cache all the fields
var $inputs = $form.find("input, select, button, textarea");
// Serialize the data in the form
var serializedData = $form.serialize();
// Let's disable the inputs for the duration of the Ajax request.
// Note: we disable elements AFTER the form data has been serialized.
// Disabled form elements will not be serialized.
$inputs.prop("disabled", true);
// Fire off the request to /form.php
request = $.ajax({
url: "/form.php",
type: "post",
data: serializedData
});
// Callback handler that will be called on success
request.done(function (response, textStatus, jqXHR){
// Log a message to the console
console.log("Hooray, it worked!");
});
// Callback handler that will be called on failure
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
// Log the error to the console
console.error(
"The following error occurred: "+
textStatus, errorThrown
);
});
// Callback handler that will be called regardless
// if the request failed or succeeded
request.always(function () {
// Reenable the inputs
$inputs.prop("disabled", false);
});
});
Note: Since jQuery 1.8, .success()
, .error()
and .complete()
are deprecated in favor of .done()
, .fail()
and .always()
.
Note: Remember that the above snippet has to be done after DOM ready, so you should put it inside a $(document).ready()
handler (or use the $()
shorthand).
Tip: You can chain the callback handlers like this: $.ajax().done().fail().always();
PHP (that is, form.php):
// You can access the values posted by jQuery.ajax
// through the global variable $_POST, like this:
$bar = isset($_POST['bar']) ? $_POST['bar'] : null;
Note: Always sanitize posted data, to prevent injections and other malicious code.
You could also use the shorthand .post
in place of .ajax
in the above JavaScript code:
$.post('/form.php', serializedData, function(response) {
// Log the response to the console
console.log("Response: "+response);
});
Note: The above JavaScript code is made to work with jQuery 1.8 and later, but it should work with previous versions down to jQuery 1.5.

I ran into the same issue where I had to add both some regular String parameters and a string array to a Http POST Request body.
To do this you have to do something similar to the example below (Assuming the array you want to add is an array of strings named
dirArray
):
