The byte conversion code in the auth flow can now be replaced by a built-in method

This snippet of code:

Lines 61 to 68 in 45d1812

    
           public static byte[] StringToByteArray(string hex) 
        
           { 
        
               int NumberChars = hex.Length; 
        
               byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2]; 
        
               for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2) 
        
                   bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16); 
        
               return bytes; 
        
           }

Is now natively supported in .NET 5 and up through:

Convert.FromHexString()

Thanks for the heads up @jessehouwing! I made the replacement.

	public static byte[] StringToByteArray(string hex)
	{
	int NumberChars = hex.Length;
	byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
	for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
	bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
	return bytes;
	}
