Problem converting byte[] to string

hi all, hope some one can help me, this prob is driving me mad.



im using sockets to communicate between a client and a server. I don't'
have control over the client and how it sends the data so i have had to try
and work out how it is doing it. From what i can see it is sending the data
in ASCII because if i try to use Unicode it just stops working, where's with
ASCII i can get response from it and send and receive data.



The problem.



The client sends to me a load of data, most of it is ok however some of the
data contains special text like §. When i try to decode one of these or
anything else like it the decoding just goes wrong and it reads it as a _.
I know that it must be possible because other people have been able to
communicate with the client and use these special characters but i can't
seem to.



Does any one have any ideas ?



Thx scott.
