Copying to and from byte arrays (XAML)

The following example shows how to create a bufer from an array of bytes.

public void ByteArrayCopy()
{
    // Initialize a byte array.
    byte[] arrByte = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };

    // Create a buffer from the byte array.
    IBuffer buffer = CryptographicBuffer.CreateFromByteArray(arrByte);

    // Encode the buffer into a hexadecimal string (for display);
    String strHex = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToHexString(buffer);

    // Copy the buffer back into a new byte array.
    byte[] arrByteNew;
    CryptographicBuffer.CopyToByteArray(buffer, out arrByteNew);
}
