Sending socket strings between XP and NT4 dosent work!

I have a problem converting a binary array of data to string. When i convert the bytearray to string i dont get the right string. I have tried one miljon ways to convert the bytearray to char.
Without success.

When i connects from my NT4 to my XP computer. Sending the string "åäö", it works fine!. But when i connect to myself (XP-XP) and sends "åäö" i just receive "???" Or " controle chars.

Can somone explain to me why the hell! NT4 can send Ascii string in the right way. And XP cant.

All this using Telnet.exe to .NET Socket. The incoming byte array are diffrent when receiving from NT and XP.

This is the function iam using..

Code:

---


Private Sub BuildString(ByVal Bytes() As Byte, ByVal offset As Integer, ByVal count As Integer)
            Try
                Dim intIndex As Integer
                Dim txt As String
                Dim lByte() As Byte
                Dim Uni As New UTF8Encoding

                'Uni = Uni.GetEncoding(1252)
                m_State = StateStatus.sckReceiving 'Set state
                'For intIndex = offset To offset + count - 1
                'txt = txt + Convert.ToChar(Bytes(intIndex))
                txt = txt + Uni.GetString(Bytes)
                'Next

                RaiseEvent DataReceived(Me, txt.ToString, txt.Length) 'Raise event
                m_State = StateStatus.sckConnected 'Set state
            Catch ex As ExceptionHandler
                ' Sub level exception handling
                Throw New ExceptionHandler("Error occured.", ex)
            Catch ex As Exception
                ' Sub level exception handling
                Throw New ExceptionHandler("Error occured.", ex)
            End Try

        End Sub

The encoding class dosent support ASCII 8 bit and above..

Therefor i used the "OLD" visualbasic function "Convert"

This is the solution....

Code:

---

  For i = 0 To Bytes.Length - 1
                    txt = txt & Convert.ToChar(Bytes(i))
                Next
