Non of Odd hex string is correct. Check source from you get this string . It is because of truncation of string due to limit no of characters. If String is image is stored in database then retrieve it using program not using any tools

Answer 2

You just have to parse each string. Because each one is already only one value, you can do this:

byte b;
if (byte.TryParse(s, NumberStyles.HexNumber, 
    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat, out b)) 
{
    // b contains the value.
}

where s is the string you want to parse, and b is the resulting value.

Answer 3

If your string is in the correct format you can create your array using this code (will throw exceptions if the input is badly formatted):

var text = "0x0f, 0x40, 0xff";
var bytes = text
  .Split(new[] { ", " }, StringSplitOptions.None)
  .Select(s => (Byte) Int32.Parse(s.Substring(2), AllowHexSpecifier));
