I've been searching high and low for a good example of how to read strings from a memory address in visual basic 2010.. Please show me a decent example showing how to convert bytes to string. Thanks bunches!

Converting bytes to string can be done with the Encoding.UTF8 class:

Code:
' Bytes to string
Dim str As String = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(input_bytes)
' String to bytes
Dim bytes() As Byte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str)


As for getting strings from memory, learn how to use ReadProcessMemory. Check out http://pinvoke.net/ for a good resource on PInvoke definitions for the Win32 API.
