Forum: IronRuby MutableString issues on IronRuby

Hi!

I'm struggling with a weird error - I have a string filled up with 
binary data, and when I ask .length  to it, CLR raises an exception 
telling it could not convert from specified charset to unicode. Is there 
any place to inform ironruby to use the "none" encoding for such 
strings? (as like MRI 1.8 works) - It's a bug, a feature?

IronRuby 1.0 (.net 2.0)

Thanks!

Could you please send a snippet of code or a file that demonstrates the 
problem?

Tomas

Thanks for the fast response

I have also had some issues with MutableString not support the 
IConvertable Interface used by the Convert C# class.
