system.byte[] error c# when converting from string to byte -

i want convert string byte[] in c# , of previous topics use code : string s = "0a"; system.text.asciiencoding encode = new system.text.asciiencoding(); byte[] b = encode.getbytes(s); console.writeline(b);

but when run code prints : " system.byte[]"

i think may have deciphered question. trying hex digits of string array?

i'm assuming want take 2-digit hex values string , convert each lot bytes. if not, i'm lost else. please note have not included error checking!

byte[] data = new byte[s.length/2]; for(int = 0; < s.length/2; ++i) {     byte val = byte.parse(s.substring(i*2,2), system.globalization.numberstyles.hexnumber);     data[i] = val; }  foreach(byte bv in data) {     console.writeline(bv.tostring("x"));     }
