[Benoit]

Hi, what is the most fastest way to convert a byte stream to a string?

Byte() --> String.

Converting bytes into a string can be tricky because String is a sequence
of unicode characters and array of bytes may or may not be. To convert a
byte array into unicode characters you can try Text.Decode class. Take a
look at this document:

Hi Benoit, Vladimir,

Decoder, like Encoder, is an abstract class. The Class overview help topic
for these will lead to the Encoding class which actually does the job of
converting from bytes to string (GetString) and vice versa (GetBytes).
