How to get unicode encoding string

[Dnx07]

Hi experts,

i use socket to receive string in unicode format
it works, i can receive and decode text using this :

ReDim bytes(128)
bytesReceived = mySocket.Receive(bytes, bytes.Length, SocketFlags.None)

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


but the problem is :
when i read the "EventReceived" and after trimming i got (e.g.) :

"test 1"

but when i'm checking the length, the string has a value of 100 character!!!

how can i cleanup the string?

Regards

What data type is eventReceived?

 

[Dnx07]

String

i reduced the byte array from 128 to 20 and it seems to be more stable but sometimes i still have string garbage

sorry, i was mistaken, i reduced from 128 to 64 and not 20.

Are you sure you're trimming the correct character when you call your TrimEnd?

the problem is that i don't know wich is the character ends the string.

Dim c As Char = eventReceived .Substring(eventReceived .Length - 1, 1)
eventReceived = eventReceived.TrimEnd(c)

I found the character that end the string
it's the ascii code 0 or 655533

that is weird...

sometimes there is still some garbage but less than before.
