    FromString method

    Description

    Converts a string containing only ASCII characters to a variant byte array.

    The FromString method allows you to convert a string (which was originally converted to a string using the ToString method) back to a variant byte array. This is especially useful when the encrypted or decrypted data was transferred or stored as a string because it must be converted back to a variant byte array before it can be used by the appropriate method or property.

    Parameters 

    Parameter Description
    sData The string to convert.

    Return value

    Returns a variant byte array containing the converted ASCII characters.
