Some Useful Functions

Sometimes you may want to convert a string into a byte array, or vice versa, especially when you are using the Cryptographic APIs. I have provided three functions here to help you make the conversions. The three functions are:

stringcharToByteArray(): converts a string of characters to a byte array.
stringToByteArray(): converts a string of numbers into a byte array.
byteArrayToString(): converts a byte array into a string.

    Public Function stringcharToByteArray(ByVal str As String) As Byte()

        'e.g. "abcdefg" to {a,b,c,d,e,f,g}

        Dim s As Char()

        s = str.ToCharArray

        Dim b(s.Length - 1) As Byte

        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To s.Length - 1

            b(i) = Convert.ToByte(s(i))

        Next

        Return b

    End Function

    Public Function stringToByteArray(ByVal str As String) As Byte()

        ' e.g. "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16" to 

        '{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16}

        Dim s As String()

        s = str.Split(" ")

        Dim b(s.Length - 1) As Byte

        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To s.Length - 1

            b(i) = Convert.ToByte(s(i))

        Next

        Return b

    End Function

    Public Function byteArrayToString(ByVal b() As Byte) As String

        Dim i As Integer

        Dim s As New System.Text.StringBuilder()

        For i = 0 To b.Length - 1

            Console.WriteLine(b(i))

            If i <> b.Length - 1 Then

                s.Append(b(i) & " ")

            Else

                s.Append(b(i))

            End If

        Next

        Return s.ToString

    End Function

Envisions of Life : Kaotic Reality

Kaotic Reality is a place where mind, heart and soul combine to seek the inner truth of beeing.. 
Let us believe in the evolution of the mind and in the energy connecting everything and everyone, with a finale goal, beeing, feeling and sensing everything in the entire universe as it would be like feeling inside yourself.. 
A new consiousness, awareness is born, as people grow to understand there own psyche..
Something to think about.. ?? 
Be carefull about new found insights as they turn your life upside down, but it will surely have good reason to. Each following insight will help us gather new visions on how to see life itself and take us one step closer to full awareness of our own beeing... 

I don't know why, but I know it's fly, to see a certain sight and cry.. Wheep with all your might, during a whole day of utter fright, of what might be or comes to be, but after that day it's history.. 
Be what you wanna be, but be the best you can be, that's all anyone can expect you to ever be.. 

from a Kaotic Reality I will see everything clearly..
