[Mono-list] C# Hexadecimal Escape Char Anomalies???

[Matthew Franz]

I realize this is a C# issue but can one create "binary strings" in C# using
string="\xff\x00\x00\xff" used by C/Python?

Why do my 0xff's get translated to 0x3f's???

Thanks

class SimpleTest
{
    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        String bobo = "\xFF\xFF";
        System.Console.Write(bobo);
    }
}

bash-2.05a$ mono simple.exe | od -x
0000000 3f3f
0000002

bash-2.05a$ cat pypy
test="\xff\xff\xff\xff"
print test

bash-2.05a$ python pypy | od -h
0000000 ffff ffff 000a
