If you are interested..memeory issue was resolved by doing the following.
Public Shared Function byteArrayToString(ByVal b() As Byte) As String
Dim ss As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding
Dim sString As String
Dim sb As New StringBuilder
Dim cursor As Integer
Dim sChunk As String
Try
' sString = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(b)
While cursor < b.Length
Dim arr2() As Byte
If (cursor + 100000) > (b.Length) Then
arr2 = New Byte(b.Length - cursor - 1) {}
Array.Copy(b, cursor, arr2, 0, b.Length - cursor)
Else
arr2 = New Byte(100000 - 1) {}
Array.Copy(b, cursor, arr2, 0, 100000)
End If
sChunk = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(arr2)
sb.Append(sChunk)
cursor += 100000
End While
' sString = ss.GetString(b)
Return sb.ToString
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Function

Memory isn't unlimited. Basically, when you convert from a byte array ->
string, you have two copies of the same data (one for the byte array and one
for the string) in memory.
What exactly are you doing? You are typically better off chunking and
reading smaller amounts of data at a time. Use something like a StreamWriter
over a stream to automatically handles the byte -> text conversion.

Subject: out of memory..urgent
Getting out of memory exception when I try to
Dim s as string
Dim b() as Byte
s=System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8).GetString(b)
Definitely something about the length of b..works fine most of the time
except if b length is very large
