I am calling a VB6 dll from a vb.net windows application that returns an array of strings. My issue is it seems to truncate after a NULL character. For Example VB 6 is returning a string with the HEX value of 4E 31 00 00 01 00 20 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 20 20 20 31 32 30. But when it gets back to Vb.net all I have is 4E 31 or N1. Now I can return the same string as a return value of a function and I get it all.

Please Help,

Patrick Horn
