Well the docs on GetString say it can be just a byte[].  

The interesting thing is the length which only works as 1448 which is a
number I found by printing out the len variable.  If I set the byte[] to
say 10000, sock.read (which should really be named stream.read as it's a
NetworkStream) always returns anywhere from 0 to 1448 bytes but never
more.

I also tried the example from the .NET docs and it doesn't work either. 
It reads up to 1448 bytes and the stops.  The code is here:
