The following bit of code is to send a string of data to the usb port. How can I modify the code so I only send one byte of data to the usb port instead of a string?

private void usb_OnSpecifiedDeviceArrived(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.lb_message.Items.Add("My device was found");

            //setting string form for sending data
            string text = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < this.usb.SpecifiedDevice.OutputReportLength - 1; i++)
            {
                text += "000 ";
            }
            this.tb_send.Text = text;
        }

private void btn_send_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                string text = this.tb_send.Text + " ";
                text.Trim();
                string[] arrText = text.Split(' ');
                byte[] data = new byte[arrText.Length];

                for (int i = 0; i < arrText.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (arrText[i] != "")
                    {
                        int value = Int32.Parse(arrText[i], System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Number);
                        data[i] = (byte)Convert.ToByte(value);
                    }
                }

                if (this.usb.SpecifiedDevice != null)
                {
                    this.usb.SpecifiedDevice.SendData(data);
                }
                else
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Sorry but your device is not present. Plug it in!! ");
                }

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
            }
        }
