另一种基于查找表的方法。该方法只为每个字节使用一个查找表，而不是为每个半字节使用查找表。

private static readonly uint[] _lookup32 = CreateLookup32();

private static uint[] CreateLookup32()
{
    var result = new uint[256];
    for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    {
        string s=i.ToString("X2");
        result[i] = ((uint)s[0]) + ((uint)s[1] << 16);
    }
    return result;
}

private static string ByteArrayToHexViaLookup32(byte[] bytes)
{
    var lookup32 = _lookup32;
    var result = new char[bytes.Length * 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
    {
        var val = lookup32[bytes[i]];
        result[2*i] = (char)val;
        result[2*i + 1] = (char) (val >> 16);
    }
    return new string(result);
}

我还使用查找表中的ushort、struct｛char X1，X2｝、struct{byte X1，X2}测试了这个变体。

根据编译目标（x86、X64）的不同，它们要么具有大致相同的性能，要么稍慢于此变体。

为了获得更高的性能，其不安全的兄弟：

private static readonly uint[] _lookup32Unsafe = CreateLookup32Unsafe();
private static readonly uint* _lookup32UnsafeP = (uint*)GCHandle.Alloc(_lookup32Unsafe,GCHandleType.Pinned).AddrOfPinnedObject();

private static uint[] CreateLookup32Unsafe()
{
    var result = new uint[256];
    for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    {
        string s=i.ToString("X2");
        if(BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
            result[i] = ((uint)s[0]) + ((uint)s[1] << 16);
        else
            result[i] = ((uint)s[1]) + ((uint)s[0] << 16);
    }
    return result;
}

public static string ByteArrayToHexViaLookup32Unsafe(byte[] bytes)
{
    var lookupP = _lookup32UnsafeP;
    var result = new char[bytes.Length * 2];
    fixed(byte* bytesP = bytes)
    fixed (char* resultP = result)
    {
        uint* resultP2 = (uint*)resultP;
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
        {
            resultP2[i] = lookupP[bytesP[i]];
        }
    }
    return new string(result);
}

或者如果您认为可以直接写入字符串：

public static string ByteArrayToHexViaLookup32UnsafeDirect(byte[] bytes)
{
    var lookupP = _lookup32UnsafeP;
    var result = new string((char)0, bytes.Length * 2);
    fixed (byte* bytesP = bytes)
    fixed (char* resultP = result)
    {
        uint* resultP2 = (uint*)resultP;
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
        {
            resultP2[i] = lookupP[bytesP[i]];
        }
    }
    return result;
}

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);
}

如果性能很重要，这里有一个优化的解决方案：

    static readonly char[] _hexDigits = "0123456789abcdef".ToCharArray();
    public static string ToHexString(this byte[] bytes)
    {
        char[] digits = new char[bytes.Length * 2];
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
        {
            int d1, d2;
            d1 = Math.DivRem(bytes[i], 16, out d2);
            digits[2 * i] = _hexDigits[d1];
            digits[2 * i + 1] = _hexDigits[d2];
        }
        return new string(digits);
    }

它比BitConverter.ToString快2.5倍，比BitConverter.ToString+删除“-”字符快7倍。

对老年人来说最快的方法。。。想念你的指针

    static public byte[] HexStrToByteArray(string str)
    {
        byte[] res = new byte[(str.Length % 2 != 0 ? 0 : str.Length / 2)]; //check and allocate memory
        for (int i = 0, j = 0; j < res.Length; i += 2, j++) //convert loop
            res[j] = (byte)((str[i] % 32 + 9) % 25 * 16 + (str[i + 1] % 32 + 9) % 25);
        return res;
    }

这里不想赘述很多答案，但我发现了一个十六进制字符串解析器的相当优化（比公认的好4.5倍）、简单的实现。首先，我的测试输出（第一批是我的实现）：

base64和“BitConverter'd”行用于测试正确性。请注意，它们是相等的。

实施：

public static byte[] ToByteArrayFromHex(string hexString)
{
  if (hexString.Length % 2 != 0) throw new ArgumentException("String must have an even length");
  var array = new byte[hexString.Length / 2];
  for (int i = 0; i < hexString.Length; i += 2)
  {
    array[i/2] = ByteFromTwoChars(hexString[i], hexString[i + 1]);
  }
  return array;
}

private static byte ByteFromTwoChars(char p, char p_2)
{
  byte ret;
  if (p <= '9' && p >= '0')
  {
    ret = (byte) ((p - '0') << 4);
  }
  else if (p <= 'f' && p >= 'a')
  {
    ret = (byte) ((p - 'a' + 10) << 4);
  }
  else if (p <= 'F' && p >= 'A')
  {
    ret = (byte) ((p - 'A' + 10) << 4);
  } else throw new ArgumentException("Char is not a hex digit: " + p,"p");

  if (p_2 <= '9' && p_2 >= '0')
  {
    ret |= (byte) ((p_2 - '0'));
  }
  else if (p_2 <= 'f' && p_2 >= 'a')
  {
    ret |= (byte) ((p_2 - 'a' + 10));
  }
  else if (p_2 <= 'F' && p_2 >= 'A')
  {
    ret |= (byte) ((p_2 - 'A' + 10));
  } else throw new ArgumentException("Char is not a hex digit: " + p_2, "p_2");

  return ret;
}

我尝试了一些不安全的东西，并将（显然是冗余的）字符移动到另一个方法来蚕食if序列，但这是最快的。

（我承认这回答了一半的问题。我觉得字符串->字节[]转换不足，而字节[]->字符串角度似乎被很好地覆盖了。因此，这个答案。）

如果您希望比BitConverter更灵活，但不希望使用那些笨重的90年代风格的显式循环，那么您可以这样做：

String.Join(String.Empty, Array.ConvertAll(bytes, x => x.ToString("X2")));

或者，如果您使用的是.NET 4.0：

String.Concat(Array.ConvertAll(bytes, x => x.ToString("X2")));
