Null Terminated strings

[Guest]

How do you create them?

Ithaqua,
What do you want to do with them?

Strings in .NET are not null terminated, allowing the null character to be a
valid character in a string.

To put a null character in a string, you can simply append/concatenate it to
the string.

Const StringWithEmbeddedNull As String _
= "A string with an embedded " _
& ControlChars.NullChar _
& " null char"

If you need to pass a string to a Win32 or COM API a null character is
normally appended for you by the marshaller, so you do not need to worry
about it. In fact having a string with a null character in it can confuse
the marshaller, as it stops copying strings at the null character...

Hope this helps
Jay
