Why String.length equals ZERO but the content equals ""

What is your data in the byte array? Is there a termination character in it?

Can you put up what is in your byte array and your code for changing it to a string?

Cheers,

Greg

surely a termination character

i receive it from a socket (tcp listener) and it is a string


                    ReDim bytes(128) '

                    mySocket.Receive(bytes, bytes.Length, SocketFlags.None)

                    eventReceived = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bytes)

i also have the problem to redim the byte array to exactly what i want to receive from the network...

You have to trim the leading null characters:

Dim nulls As Char() = chr(0)
eventReceived = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bytes).TrimEnd(nulls)

Sorry, I meant:
You have to trim the trailing null characters

eventReceived = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bytes).TrimEnd(Convert.ToChar(10))

still have the same result... :(

the string is "bitlink 7" and the length equal 65

it is not char 10, it is char 0

:(

event the 0 make the same result...

eventReceived = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bytes).TrimEnd(Convert.ToChar(0))

IT WOOOORKKKKSSS!!!

Thank youuuu very much!

Kind regards
