Yes, GetString(byte[]) exists, but it's equivalent to this:
string GetString (byte[] bytes)
{
return GetString (bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
So this is only valid if `bytes' is full. Otherwise (when you've read
fewer than `bytes.Length' bytes) the end of your string will contain
garbage data. The `GetString (bytes, 0, len)' fixes this, so GetString
will only convert valid data.
