Is there a standard function to Convert a string, to an array of integers and back. like: GetString(bytes) but with integers

Question

So :string "ABCD" to array (65,66,67,68)

I would like it to be one function, like GetString(bytes),

but with integer instead of bytes

At the moment I'm converting the resulting array of bytes one by one

to an array of integers.(and there are other workarounds)(don't really want to do that)

I just want to know if there is a standard Visual Basic Method.
