String from byte array doesn't get trimmed in C#?

Question

I have a byte array similar to this (16 bytes):

71 77 65 72 74 79 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I use this to convert it to a string and tr

Answer 1

Why try to create the string first and trim it second? This could add a lot of overhead (if the byte[] is large).

You can specify index and count in the GetString(byte[] bytes, int index, int count) overload.

int count = data.Count(bt => bt != 0); // find the first null
string result = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, count); // Get only the characters you want
