Re: Encoding difference in Vista breaks my app :(

it is probably because i'm using GetString on binary content
but i'm sure i got this code off an MS sample somewhere...

Regardless where you got it from, your code is broken. If you want to
represent random binary data as a string, you should consider using
Base64 encoding.
