Any specific reason that you want to use sbyte instead of byte?

It depends on the encoding you want the bytes to represent, but the ASCII version would be:

Imports System.Text
.
.
.
Dim chars As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Some string")

Read up on the System.Text.Encoding class and you'll find other encodings are supported, like UTF8, UTF32, Unicode, ... and alot of other methods that may be useful to you.

Solution 2

You can use Dave's answer to get the byte array and then convert to sbyte array using normal casts:

C#

//get the byte array
byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Some string");
//convert it to sbyte array
sbyte[] sbytes = new sbyte[bytes.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
    sbytes[i] = (sbyte)bytes[i];
