Hacking [HELP] Converting a String to Hex? (C#)

[Dekirai]

Hello,

I searched whole google for a solution, but the sad thing is that nothing of it works with gecko together.

What I did is this:

        private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.tcpGecko.poke32(0x109763F0, 0x73656100);
        }

But I want to use the poke as a Textbox with String.
So for example;
I am doing a Maploader for Wind Waker and I want to load the Map "DmSpot0" so I input "DmSpot0" into the Textbox and its getting converted to Hex so that the game will load the map.

So it should something like this in the end

        private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.tcpGecko.poke32(0x109763F0, blablablabla(textBox.Text); // Converted String to Hex
        }

DmSpot0 is btw longer than 32 Bits, so do I have to do something special for it, or does it write auto. to the address "109763F4"?

i dunno , would you // string to byte array then byte array to hex ...

using the System.BitConverter. for the latter ?

If I remember right, I already tried this

 

[pwsincd]

            byte[] vals = { 0x01, 0xAA, 0xB1, 0xDC, 0x10, 0xDD };

            string str = BitConverter.ToString(vals);
            Console.WriteLine(str);

            str = BitConverter.ToString(vals).Replace("-", "");
            Console.WriteLine(str);

            /*Output:
              01-AA-B1-DC-10-DD
              01AAB1DC10DD
             */

Yea I already tried this.
Maybe I do something wrong too, but I can't get it to work. :/

This sounds like something that should be on stackoverflow.com
