我想出了一个不同的代码，它可以容忍额外的字符（空格、破折号…）。它的灵感主要来自这里一些可以接受的快速答案。它允许解析以下“文件”

复制时请参考完整代码。包括单元测试。

有些人可能会说它对额外的字符太宽容了。因此，不要依赖此代码来执行验证（或更改）。

支持最短路径和.net核心：

    public static string BytesToString(byte[] ba) =>
        ba.Aggregate(new StringBuilder(32), (sb, b) => sb.Append(b.ToString("X2"))).ToString();

为了方便以后复制和粘贴，将几个答案合并到一个类中：

我猜它的速度值16个额外的字节。

    static char[] hexes = new char[]{'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
    public static string ToHexadecimal (this byte[] Bytes)
    {
        char[] Result = new char[Bytes.Length << 1];
        int Offset = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i != Bytes.Length; i++) {
            Result[Offset++] = hexes[Bytes[i] >> 4];
            Result[Offset++] = hexes[Bytes[i] & 0x0F];
        }
        return new string(Result);
    }

有一个简单的一行解决方案尚未提及，它将十六进制字符串转换为字节数组（我们不在乎这里的否定解释，因为这无关紧要）：

BigInteger.Parse(str, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber).ToByteArray().Reverse().ToArray();

此版本的ByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation可能更快。

从我的报告中：

ByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation3:1.68次平均滴答声（超过1000次），17,5XByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation2:1,73平均滴答（超过1000次），16,9XByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation:2,90平均刻度（超过1000次），10,1XByteArrayToHexViaLookupAndShift:3.22平均刻度（超过1000次），9,1X...静态专用只读字符[]hexAlphabet=新字符[]{'0'，'1'，'2'，'3'，'4'，'5'，'6'，'7'，'8'，'9'，'A'，'B'，'C'，'D'，'E'，'F'}；静态字符串ByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation3（byte[]字节）{char[]c=新字符[bytes.Length*2]；字节b；for（int i=0；i<bytes.Length；i++）{b=（（字节）（字节[i]>>4））；c[i*2]=十六进制字母[b]；b=（（字节）（字节[i]&0xF））；c[i*2+1]=十六进制字母[b]；}返回新字符串（c）；}

我认为这是一个优化：

    static private readonly char[] hexAlphabet = new char[]
        {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
    static string ByteArrayToHexViaByteManipulation4(byte[] bytes)
    {
        char[] c = new char[bytes.Length * 2];
        for (int i = 0, ptr = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++, ptr += 2)
        {
            byte b = bytes[i];
            c[ptr] = hexAlphabet[b >> 4];
            c[ptr + 1] = hexAlphabet[b & 0xF];
        }
        return new string(c);
    }
