Convert byte[] to char[]
System.Text.Encoding.ChooseYourEncoding.GetString(bytes).ToCharArray();Substitute the right encoding above: e.g.
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes).ToCharArray();
You must know the source encoding.
string someText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";byte[] bytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(someText);char[] chars = Encoding.Unicode.GetChars(bytes);
byte[] a = new byte[50];char [] cArray= System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(a).ToCharArray();From the URL thedixon posted

You cannot ToCharArray the byte without converting it to a string first.
To quote Jon Skeet there
There's no need for the copying here - just use Encoding.GetChars. However, there's no guarantee that ASCII is going to be the appropriate encoding to use.
