I'm having a problem converting a byte array to a string.  
In the VS.NET de{*filter*}, the string that's converted looks
like "MyString instead of "MyString".  The ending
quotation mark isn't there, and it's causing problems when
I'm using a Mid function to capture a few characters from
the end of the string (i.e. "MyString apparently isn't the
same as "MyString").  Below is my code.

Dim r_bytes(200) As Byte
r_s.Receive(r_bytes)

Dim r_string As String = r_string &
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(r_bytes, 0,
r_bytes.Length)

If r_string.Length > 0 And Mid(r_string, 1, 1) = "R" Then

Dim tmpProgramID As String = Mid(r_string, 2,
tmpAtLocation - 2)
Dim tmpLicenseID As String = Mid(r_string, tmpAtLocation +
3)

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks!

However, I notice if you append a char to the byte, the " will be
tailed.

A workaround:

        Dim r_bytes(26) As Byte
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim s As String

        For i = 0 To 25
            r_bytes(i) = Asc("A") + i
        Next

        r_bytes(26) = Asc(" ") ' Tailing with a char

        s = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(r_bytes, 0,
r_bytes.Length - 1) ' length - 1

        Debug.Write(s)

HTH.
