C# SHA256 ComputeHash result different with CryptoJS SHA256 function

Question

I have a C# function as below:

string stringvalue = "530500480530490480530480480520570480520510500490";
var encodedvalue= Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(stringvalue);
using (HashAlgorithm ssp = System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm.Create("SHA256"))
        {

            var digest = ssp.ComputeHash(encodedvalue);

            return BitConverter.ToString(digest); 

        }

I need to create a javascript function that match the code above so that the end result for both C# and JS is the same.

Currently in my JS code, I'm using this:

var hash = CryptoJS.SHA256("530500480530490480530480480520570480520510500490");
var hexhash = hash.toString(CryptoJS.enc.hex);

This is the result of my hexhash:

d956678c8f12c65299daf35019a9a1eb3e6eb9855fd850aeb5aafe46057d179e

But in my C# code, this line of var digest = ssp.ComputeHash(bPass); return the following array:

I don't know much about encoding. Please tell me what type of result is being populated in the c# code above? If I'm not mistaken, the ComputeHash is returning bytes but I need lots of reading to confirm that which is another long hour of studying

I tried many different ways of converting the JS Sha256 code but no luck. I'm stuck at this particular line for almost a day.

Please help. Thanks

EDIT: Sorry for the code error. I had updated the C# code. ComputeHash accept an array

An alternative to Koo SengSeng's answer (if you don't want to use CryptoJS library).
SHA256 function is from here, the arrToUintArr function is from Koo SengSeng's answer.

var SHA256=function a(b){function c(a,b){return a>>>b|a<<32-b}for(var d,e,f=Math.pow,g=f(2,32),h="length",i="",j=[],k=8*b[h],l=a.h=a.h||[],m=a.k=a.k||[],n=m[h],o={},p=2;64>n;p++)if(!o[p]){for(d=0;313>d;d+=p)o[d]=p;l[n]=f(p,.5)*g|0,m[n++]=f(p,1/3)*g|0}for(b+="\x80";b[h]%64-56;)b+="\x00";for(d=0;d>8)return;j[d>>2]|=e<<(3-d)%4*8}for(j[j[h]]=k/g|0,j[j[h]]=k,e=0;ed;d++){var s=q[d-15],t=q[d-2],u=l[0],v=l[4],w=l[7]+(c(v,6)^c(v,11)^c(v,25))+(v&l[5]^~v&l[6])+m[d]+(q[d]=16>d?q[d]:q[d-16]+(c(s,7)^c(s,18)^s>>>3)+q[d-7]+(c(t,17)^c(t,19)^t>>>10)|0),x=(c(u,2)^c(u,13)^c(u,22))+(u&l[1]^u&l[2]^l[1]&l[2]);l=[w+x|0].concat(l),l[4]=l[4]+w|0}for(d=0;8>d;d++)l[d]=l[d]+r[d]|0}for(d=0;8>d;d++)for(e=3;e+1;e--){var y=l[d]>>8*e&255;i+=(16>y?0:"")+y.toString(16)}return i};
var arrToUintArr=function(a){for(var l=a.length,b=new Uint8Array(l<<2),o=0,w,i=0;i>24,b[o++]=(w>>16)&0xff,b[o++]=(w>>8)&0xff,b[o++]=w&0xff;return b;}
var computeHash=function(k){for(var a=[],s=SHA256(k),i=0;i<8;i++) a.push(parseInt(s.substr(i*8,8),16));return arrToUintArr(a);}

computeHash(k) will return an array of numbers representing bytes.

This is equal to below code in C#:

new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256CryptoServiceProvider().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(k));

typescript code:

private computeHash(text: string): string {
    return CryptoJS.SHA256(text).toString();
}

c# equivalent:

private string ComputeHash(string text)
{
    using (var sha256 = SHA256.Create())
    {
       var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
       var hash = sha256.ComputeHash(bytes);
       return hash.Aggregate(string.Empty, (current, x) => current + $"{x:x2}");
    }
}

after two days of research it works perfectly! Two different codes give the same result.

js

const sha1 = require('sha1');    
const getHash = str =>{
    const hashingBytes = Buffer.from(sha1(str), "hex");
    const base64Value = Buffer.from(hashingBytes).toString('base64');
    return base64Value;
}

c#

 System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1 sha = new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
        byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str);
        byte[] hashingbytes = sha.ComputeHash(bytes);
        var hash = Convert.ToBase64String(hashingbytes);
