Can't Combine Strings from ASCIIencoding.GetString

[swu]

From this code snipet:

        Dim image As Bitmap = New Bitmap("c:\test.jpg")
        Dim propItems As PropertyItem() = image.PropertyItems
        Dim encoding As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding()

        Camera = encoding.GetString(propItems(1).Value)

        MsgBox(Camera & " " & Camera)

I can't get the string to combine unless I pass it to a text box and then read it from the text box. Is there another way to 'clean' the string with out the text box work around?

Thanks in advance.
