Hello, I convert to hexadecimal using the following method:

C#

byte[] a = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(Code1.Text);
string code = BitConverter.ToString(a);

I get the value that I want, but what is the way to convert new value to String again?

use Encoding.Default.GetString method plus some linq

C#

byte[] data = Encoding.Default.GetBytes("sample text");
string code = BitConverter.ToString(data);

byte[] data2 = code.Split('-').Select(b => Convert.ToByte(b, 16)).ToArray();
string codeback = Encoding.Default.GetString(data2);

there are many other ways to try, please check below link
