How to convert char[] to UTF-8 byte[] in C#?

Question

I'm porting a Java function as below codes to C#, it converts a char array to UTF-8 format, and then convert to byte array, how can do this in .Net platform via C#?

Java code:

public static byte[] GetBytes(char[] chars) 
{
    Charset cs = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
    CharBuffer cb = CharBuffer.allocate(chars.length);
    cb.put(chars);
    cb.flip();
    ByteBuffer bb = cs.encode(cb);
    byte[] array = bb.array();

    return array
}

Please, have a look at class System.Text.Encoding. It has plenty of methods and static members to work with encoding.

Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Some string"); Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(charArray);
