I'm using the zxing C# port to decode a QR barcode.The code is simple and based on an example I found online (see below).The problem is, it always throws an "Index was outside the bounds of the array" exception.My code sample happen to be in VB.NET, but the zxing library is implemented in C#
Dim re As qrcode.QRCodeReader
re = New qrcode.QRCodeReader()
Dim Img As New Bitmap("<image file path here>")

I have a few USB devices that use standard Microsoft Virtual COM Port drivers. More specifically, I believe they use the "Usbser.sys" driver. Whenever I plug my USB devices in, they always shows up in the Device Manager as a COM port, however, sometimes I am unable to open that COM port. This problem occurs on both Windows XP SP3 and windows 7 machines (The only operating systems I have tested this on).
To be a little clearer, I can plug my USB device in, and then successfully open the COM port. I unplug my USB device, then plug it back in, and I am unable to open the COM port. The only solution to this problem is to restart my PC. Is there any solution in VB.net to reset any entrees made to the Windows system when the USB device is plugged in? Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it via a VB.Net solution?
Using VB.Net I've added a CTRL-C handler:
AddHandler Console.CancelKeyPress, AddressOf QuitHandler
Which does the following:
Private Sub QuitHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As ConsoleCancelEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("Quitting...")
[Code]....
I then have a main loop which just runs until Quit=True.
This all works until I start reading from the serial port:
Private Sub port_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles Port.DataReceived
at which point the CTRL-C handler gets ignored for about 30secs at which point the console app just terminates without going through the cleanup code.
I have been looking for a way to create QR Codes using VB.Net but I am going round in circles. I found some samples but they use C#. Also read about ZXing library but I have no idea about how to reference it (or what to reference). Can you suggest a tutorial (for complete beginners) as to how to go about finding an open source library and referencing it i

Using port monitoring and the DUMP command on the peripheral I was able to read the data and save to file. Now my challenge is decoding each line. It appears that only a section of the string is not in plain values.I added the pipe separators for clarity. I have determined those columns are: EMPID | DateTime | TechID | Results | ResultType = Test.[code]

I have a call to Server.URLEncode(string) from an old asp file that stores user input into a table. In this case it was a string of Chinese charters.
The actual data is :
%E8%B0%B7%E6%AD%8C%E7%9A%84%E5%89%8D%E6%99%AF%E9%BA%A6%E5%85%8B%E6%96%AF%E9%9F%A6
I rewrote the code to vb.Net and after I get the data from the table, I call
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlDecode(string) to decode the string, add it existing mark up for an email and send it on its way.
Note that with Visual Studio i can see the HTML markup as it appears in the email, and ALL of the Chinese data is EXACTLY as I would expect it.
When the emial is received i get "???????????" characters where there should be the Chinese characters.
What I do not understand:
What Server.URLEncode actually encodes the data to. It appears to be HEX.
What the array of "?" means in outlook or any other email system that opens it, I assume it means "Hey i cant convert this stuff, so here is a question mark for kicks, good luck."
I am trying to write a function which has the ability to decode a string from utf8. I am getting the string as a response from a webserver.I am using the following line to do the decoding:

View 10 RepliesThis is kind of a brain twister. First, what it involves. I'm writing an application that is working with values sent to and received from an 8 bit micro-controller. There are 8 bits of specified values. Here they are. bit1 = 1, bit2 = 2, bit3 = 4, bit4 = 8, bit5 = 16, bit6 = 32, bit7 = 64 and bit8 = 128.I made a routine that uses 8 checkboxes to add the values for sending them to the micro-controller. That wasn't too hard. In my appp there are 8 checkboxes. Each checkbox assigns one of the specific bit values to a variable (or subtracts it when unchecked). The total of the variable is then displayed in a textbox and ready to send.Now the hard part that ed to take any number between 0 and 255 apart in values that will be a combination of the numbers (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) above and show each checkbox which is assigned those numbers to be checked.
