Reading jpg EXIF info

[Tim Kelley]

I am working on a program the reads the user comment field of a jpg file.
When I read it in using GetPropertyItem to get the property and saving it to
a variable with item=Encoding.UTF8.GetString(PropItem.Value).Trim() I get a
string that looks like \0\0\0\0\0\0my text here.

Is there a way for me to strip all of the \0s from the string?

Thanks,

Tim

How about:

item = item.Replace("\0", "");

You could use an old fashioned string.Replace to get rid of the "\0"s
