Hexadecimal 8 bit unsigned array in VB.NET
I have a hexadecimal value,
07A5953EE7592CE8871EE287F9C0A5FBC2BB43695589D95E76A4A9D37019C8
What I want to convert to a byte array.
Is there a built-in function in .NET 3.5 that will do the job, or will I need to write a function to loop through each pair in a string and convert it to its 8-bit integer equivalent?

There is no built-in function to do this. You unfortunately have to code one :(
Public Function ToHexList(ByVal str As String) As List(Of Byte)
Dim list As New List(Of Byte)
For i = 0 to str.Length-1 Step 2
list.Add(Byte.Parse(str.SubString(i,2), Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber))
Next
Return list
End Function
EDIT
The NumberStyles enumeration qualified with a globalization namespace qualifier. Another option is to import this namespace and remove the qualifier.
