How about:

Dim converted as Byte() = Encoding.Convert(utf8, Encoding.UTF8, _
                                           Encoding.GetEncoding(28591))

That assumes that when you say "UTF8 string" you mean "binary data which is the UTF-8 representation of some text". If you mean something else, please specify :)

Note that ISO-8859-1 only represents a tiny proportion of full Unicode. IIRC, you'll end up with "?" for any character from the source data which isn't available in ISO-8859-1.
