How to convert vb6 'vbFromUnicode' to string in C#

I got as code in VB6, which need to be converted in C#. I have googled it but didn't get any concrete answer.

VB code:

Dim strTemp = StrConv(strTemp , vbFromUnicode)

I tried to do like this in c#:

var strTemp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.StringToBSTR(strTemp);

I think this is not correct.

Any suggestions? what would be the correct interpetation of above vb6 code in c#.

This is a conversion of a Unicode string to an Ansi string, by system default code page.

StrConv(strTemp , vbFromUnicode)

In C#, you need to found out the default code page by ANSICodePage from current culture

int codepage = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ANSICodePage;
byte[] convertedBytes = Encoding.GetEncoding(codepage).GetBytes(unicodeString);
string convertedAsciiString = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(convertedBytes);
