Convert byte[] to string

I know this is probably super simple but I am struggling ( I swear I have figured this out once before).

Tried scouring APIs and google.

For some reason the code goes into in infinite loop of nothingness when I do:

string buffer = BitConverter.ToString(buffer,0)

nevermind I finally found my old code:

char[] temp = Encoding.UFT8.GetChars(buffer);
string received = new string(temp);

Visual basic has many great string utilities. Another option is to create a class library an call the high level functions from your code.

Example:
'Convert the byte to string
Return ChrW(Data(0)).ToString

This was in C#

C sharp class libraries can be used in vb and vb libraries can be used in C sharp. I think each language has its strong points and weak points :smile:
