Why do I receive \0 in my data when receiving data from tcpipclient

Question

I try to make a tcp-ip client server.

I use this article

https://www.developerfusion.com/article/3997/socket-programming-in-c-part-2/2/

When the client sends "Hello"
The server reads H\0e\0l\0l\0o\0

Why ?

Below the code of the onReceive

public void OnDataReceived(IAsyncResult asyn)
{
//end receive...
int iRx = 0 ;
iRx = m_socClient.EndReceive (asyn);
char[] chars = new char[iRx + 1];
System.Text.Decoder d = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder();
int charLen = d.GetChars(m_DataBuffer, 0, iRx, chars, 0);
System.String szData = new System.String(chars);
WaitForData();
}

sneeze Honestly I don't have a solution for this, but to my understanding, when a string consists of characters with null characters '\0' in between, it is a Unicode encoded string, also known as double byte, or wide char string. If you can, find a way to read and display the string correctly. I thought VS was Unicode compliant but in this case I don't know why, sorry : )
