How To Convert Received Bytes To String?

Hi friends, at an example i found in MSDN library, such a command is used to convert the received bytes to ASCII string;

data = Text::Encoding::ASCII->GetString( bytes, 0, i );

But my compiler can not build due to errors in this statement. I think this code is written for 2003 version and I use 2005, so there must be a new translating method just like many other changes... Can you help me about how to do this in version 2005. Thanks...

hi,
what is the error message you get??

Simply assign those bytes to CString or std::string object. You can also create a buffer using new char[recvd_size] and use memcpy/strcpy to copy it.

You have to be careful with the methods prescribed by Krishnaa, data is not be guaranteed to be null-terminated, nor or you guaranteed that your null-terminated string that you send will arrive in one piece.

Yes, if sent data is not NULL terminated you must know the length of the string to pick up from the recvd data, Or you must send one string at a time on one connection and then some kind of delimiter to identify the end of one pack.
