还有XmlWriter.WriteBinHex（请参见MSDN页面）。如果需要将十六进制字符串放入XML流中，这非常有用。

下面是一个独立的方法来了解它的工作原理：

    public static string ToBinHex(byte[] bytes)
    {
        XmlWriterSettings xmlWriterSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
        xmlWriterSettings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
        xmlWriterSettings.CheckCharacters = false;
        xmlWriterSettings.Encoding = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII;
        MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(memoryStream, xmlWriterSettings))
        {
            xmlWriter.WriteBinHex(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
        }
        return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(memoryStream.ToArray());
    }

可以使用从.NET 5开始的Convert.ToHexString。还有一个用于反向操作的方法：Convert.FromHexString。

对于较旧版本的.NET，您可以使用：

public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
  StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder(ba.Length * 2);
  foreach (byte b in ba)
    hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
  return hex.ToString();
}

or:

public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
  return BitConverter.ToString(ba).Replace("-","");
}

举个例子，这里有更多的方法。

反向转换如下：

public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
  int NumberChars = hex.Length;
  byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
  for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
    bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
  return bytes;
}

使用Substring是与Convert.ToByte结合使用的最佳选项。有关详细信息，请参阅此答案。如果需要更好的性能，必须避免Convert.ToByte，然后才能删除SubString。

这个问题也可以使用查找表来解决。这将需要编码器和解码器的少量静态存储器。然而，这种方法很快：

编码器表512字节或1024字节（两次大小写（如果是大写和小写）需要）解码器表256字节或64 KiB（单个字符查找或双字符查找）

我的解决方案使用1024字节作为编码表，256字节用于解码。

  LookupTableUpper = new char[256][];

    LookupTableUpper[i] = i.ToString("X2").ToCharArray();

Note

在解码过程中，可能会发生IOException和IndexOutOfRangeException（如果字符的值太高>256）。应该实现对流或数组进行去/编码的方法，这只是概念的证明。

下面还通过允许本机小写选项扩展了这里的优秀答案，并且还处理null或空输入，并使其成为扩展方法。

    {
        if (bytes == null)
            return null;
        else if (bytes.Length == 0)
            return "";

        char[] c = new char[bytes.Length * 2];

        int b;
        int xAddToAlpha = lowerCase ? 87 : 55;
        int xAddToDigit = lowerCase ? -39 : -7;

        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++) {

            b = bytes[i] >> 4;
            c[i * 2] = (char)(xAddToAlpha + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & xAddToDigit));

            b = bytes[i] & 0xF;
            c[i * 2 + 1] = (char)(xAddToAlpha + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & xAddToDigit));
        }

        string val = new string(c);
        return val;
    }

    public static string ToHexString(this IEnumerable<byte> bytes, bool lowerCase = false)
    {
        if (bytes == null)
            return null;
        byte[] arr = bytes.ToArray();
        return arr.ToHexString(lowerCase);
    }

这是我的纯二进制解决方案，不需要库查找，也支持大写/小写：

public static String encode(byte[] bytes, boolean uppercase) {
    char[] result = new char[2 * bytes.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
        byte word = bytes[i];
        byte left = (byte) ((0XF0 & word) >>> 4);
        byte right = (byte) ((byte) 0X0F & word);

        int resultIndex = i * 2;
        result[resultIndex] = encode(left, uppercase);
        result[resultIndex + 1] = encode(right, uppercase);
    }
    return new String(result);
}

public static char encode(byte value, boolean uppercase) {
    int characterCase = uppercase ? 0 : 32;
    if (value > 15 || value < 0) {
        return '0';
    }
    if (value > 9) {
        return (char) (value + 0x37 | characterCase);
    }
    return (char) (value + 0x30);
}

扩展BigInteger方法（Gregory Morse在上面提到过）。我不能评论效率，它使用System.Linq.Reverse（），但它很小而且内置。

        // To hex
        byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Test String!£");
        string hexString = new System.Numerics.BigInteger(bytes.Reverse().ToArray()).ToString("x2");

        // From hex
        byte[] fromHexBytes = System.Numerics.BigInteger.Parse(hexString, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber).ToByteArray().Reverse().ToArray();

        // Unit test
        CollectionAssert.AreEqual(bytes, fromHexBytes);
