Answer 1

You can go any of below,

        byte []bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hi");
        string str = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);


        byte []bytesNew = System.Convert.FromBase64String ("Hello!");
        string strNew = System.Convert.ToBase64String(bytesNew);
