Badri,

You can use the static Copy method on the Array class to do this.
However, it will not work in all cases. It will work for your second case
only. The reason it won't work for the others is as follows:

1 - You have the potential to lose information on the conversion of each
integer element to a byte element.
3 - The Copy method doesn't know how to convert between an int and a string.
You have to loop through each element and do the conversion yourself.
4 - The same as #3, but vice versa.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks Nicholas..
