[RESOLVED] Unicode Conversion

my old VB 6 code


' converts inVal (a string) to a unicode string with the chr(0) in front

InVal = StrConv(InVal, vbUnicode)
ToUnicode = Chr(0) & Left$(InVal, Len(InVal) - 1)

i am trying to do the same thing in VB.net

this was written a long time ago, but i have to send socket data to a 3rd party system, i remember they required the chr(0) to come first for whatever reason

thanks
