how to convert byte array to string in binary reader in c#?

Question

i have this code

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(File.Open("mama.bin", FileMode.Truncate));

        bw.Write("Hello world");




        bw.Flush();
        bw.Close();
        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(File.Open("mama.bin", FileMode.OpenOrCreate));
        byte[] data = br.ReadBytes(8);
        string x = BitConverter.ToString(data);
        Console.WriteLine(x);




        Console.ReadKey();
    }

in the output i get this -> 0B-48-65-6C-6C-6F-20-77

how can i convert byte[] to my correct string ?? and i think this is a string encoding ?

can any one help me

Thanks :)

Dont use A BinaryWriter - Reader. Use StreamWriter - Reader instead — apomene

Try following : byte[] input = { 0x0B, 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x20, 0x77 }; string output = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(input); — jdweng
