.NET: Reading/writing binary string

EDIT: Don't answer; I've found the solution on my own.

I have some code that does this:

using (var stream = new FileStream(args[1], FileMode.Create))
{
 using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(stream))
 {
  writer.Write(ip.Iso3166CountryCode);
  ...
 }
}

Iso3166CountryCode is a string with two characters ("US").

When I try to read "US" 开发者_如何学编程from the file:

// line is a byte[] from the file with the first 1024 bytes
UnicodeEncoding.Default.GetString(line.Take(2).ToArray());

I don't get "US" back, I get some odd ASCII characters back. How do I read the two country-code characters from this binary file?

EDIT: NEVER MIND. I changed writer.Write(ip.Iso3166CountryCode) to writer.Write(UnicodeEncoding.Default.GetBytes(ip.Iso3166CountryCode)) and it works.

Try changing writer.Write(ip.Iso3166CountryCode) to writer.Write(UnicodeEncoding.Default.GetBytes(ip.Iso3166CountryCode)), that should work! :)
