I have a serial LCD Display that i am developing an application to manipulate.
The problem that i am having is that i need to send commands to the device in HEX format.
I made a program that takes user input, converts it to HEX, and then inserts its own HEX snippets.
Now, what i need to do, is send the hex string via serial to the device, however, when sending, .net converts the 'string' to a hex string, and then sends it, so what i end up with on my LCD is the hex that i entered in the program in plain text..
How would i go about sending this data without .net converting it?
I just need to take the HEX that i have and pass it to the device.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I need to send HEX in the following format: all HEX changes periodically.
FE 41 FE 51 FE 45 00 41 42 43 44 45 46 47.....
