MutableString issues on IronRuby

Douglas_Campos · June 29, 2010, 6:22am

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?

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