a string that has space between every char!?!?

[Thor-Björn Andersson]

Hi

Im using MSMQ to send and then read messages. I use a Formatter
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;310683), but I use
"Encoding.Unicode" instead of "Encoding.UTF8".

The problem im having is decode\convert the body of the messages to a
"proper" string.
There are spaces between all chars like: "H I T H E R E" (hi there), does
this have to do with the fact that it's in unicode or is it the StreamReader
that does this.

I really need a "proper" string, no extra spaces. Greatfull for all the help
i can get!!

Tobbe,

You need to set the encoding on the other end to be Unicode. The reason
you are getting spaces is that those characters are actually being
interpreted as null characters.

On the reader on the other end, make sure you pass an instance of
UnicodeEncoding to the constructor.

Hope this helps.
