另一种方法是使用stackaloc来降低GC内存压力：

static string ByteToHexBitFiddle(byte[] bytes)
{
        var c = stackalloc char[bytes.Length * 2 + 1];
        int b; 
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; ++i)
        {
            b = bytes[i] >> 4;
            c[i * 2] = (char)(55 + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & -7));
            b = bytes[i] & 0xF;
            c[i * 2 + 1] = (char)(55 + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & -7));
        }
        c[bytes.Length * 2 ] = '\0';
        return new string(c);
}

这是一篇很棒的帖子。我喜欢瓦利德的解决方案。我还没有通过帕特里奇的测试，但似乎很快。我还需要反向过程，将十六进制字符串转换为字节数组，因此我将其作为Waleed解决方案的反向来编写。不确定它是否比托马拉克的原始解决方案更快。同样，我也没有通过帕特里奇的测试运行相反的过程。

private byte[] HexStringToByteArray(string hexString)
{
    int hexStringLength = hexString.Length;
    byte[] b = new byte[hexStringLength / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < hexStringLength; i += 2)
    {
        int topChar = (hexString[i] > 0x40 ? hexString[i] - 0x37 : hexString[i] - 0x30) << 4;
        int bottomChar = hexString[i + 1] > 0x40 ? hexString[i + 1] - 0x37 : hexString[i + 1] - 0x30;
        b[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(topChar + bottomChar);
    }
    return b;
}

我想出了一个不同的代码，它可以容忍额外的字符（空格、破折号…）。它的灵感主要来自这里一些可以接受的快速答案。它允许解析以下“文件”

复制时请参考完整代码。包括单元测试。

有些人可能会说它对额外的字符太宽容了。因此，不要依赖此代码来执行验证（或更改）。

这可以从字符串到字节数组。。。

public static byte[] StrToByteArray(string str)
    {
        Dictionary<string, byte> hexindex = new Dictionary<string, byte>();
        for (byte i = 0; i < 255; i++)
            hexindex.Add(i.ToString("X2"), i);

        List<byte> hexres = new List<byte>();
        for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i += 2)
            hexres.Add(hexindex[str.Substring(i, 2)]);

        return hexres.ToArray();
    }
