Unicode Encoding / Encryption RSA

[Shahid]

Hi,


I am trying to display the encrypted value on the console. When I use
the following

UnicodeEncoding encoding = new UnicodeEncoding( );
string constructedString = encoding.GetString(encryptedData);

And I print constructedString on to the console, I see "??????" When I
do a debug, I see boxes. But if I put a watch on the variable (on the
encrypteddata), see the hex values.

What I want to do is display the hex value on the screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Shahid

Shahid,

Is it possible that the font that is being used for the console doesn't
support unicode characters (it might only support ascii characters, which is
why you are getting the ?????).

I would change the font on the console to one that can support these
characters.

Hope this helps.

That's a bad idea. That's treating opaque binary data as if it were
encoded text.

What I want to do is display the hex value on the screen.

Use BitConverter.ToString(byte[])

Thanks! That worked perfectly!
