Basics Conversion From A Byte To An Integer
May 2, 2011
I'm trying to make to do a widening conversion from a byte to an integer. form has a text box for both Input, and Output, plus a conversion button. [Code] I'm trying to use a catch block, but I'm not certain how it works exactly, and also tried to use an If statement to avert the issue, but that didn't work either. When ever user inputs a number greater than what can be held within the Byte data type the program crashes from the run time error. [Code] and an error message pops up in the compiler saying overflow exception was unhandled.

I'm trying to create a linked list of an array of integers. Why is the following implicit conversion required?
When I run the code that contains that conversion, I get the following error.
As a real-time data acquisition user control data (a packet of an array of bytes) arrives every second, is converted into an integer array and inserted into a linked list.
The most recently arrived data is painted as coordinates on a grid at the right of a PictureBox using Graphics.DrawLine (pen,X1,Y1,X2,Y2).
The oldest data (arriving 120 seconds ago) will be drawn at the leftmost portion of the Picturebox.
Why a linked list rather than a list? To display 120 views of time sequence data, the draw routine the most recently inserted node to a node that points to Nothing. How do I limit the length of the linked list to 120 nodes and always ensure that the last node points to Nothing?
Do While Not item Is Nothing
item = item.NextItem
Loop

if a byte value can go up to 255 and two bytes are used to determine the length of packet payload data, how would I convert the two bytes to create one integer value?
State.buffer[13] = 5 and State.buffer[14] = 67
Dim PacketLengthHigh As Integer = state.buffer(13)
Dim PacketLengthLow As Integer = state.buffer(14)

I m new to this forum and also to VB.net programming. In an application Modbus protocol is used and I have generate LRC checksum for that. But I am stuck at conversion of a Long type data to Byte type. The long type data is for example : 4294967197. I tried all the following functions:
1.b = Byte.Parse(4294967197)
2.b = CByte(4294967197)
3.b = Convert.ToByte(4294967197)

I am receiving ASCII data over my serial port. "51 48 46 48 48 49" for example, this represents my temperature of 30.001 degree. Now I would like to convert this ASCII numbers nad combine to readable temperature and store my data into an excel table. [Code]

I am simply trying to get the hexadecimal value of an integer (below 255) and then place this value into a byte. I have been using the hex command, but it converts the value to a string hex value. Its been driving me mad for days now as I just cant seem to sort it!
The code is as follows:
tempIntToCompare = CInt(tempValue)
tempIntToCompare = tempIntToCompare - LowTemp

I am totally new with VB.NET. I have started coding for Modbus protocol. The response that I receive from the slave is as below -
01 = byte slave id
03 = byte function code
04 = byte -no. of bytes sent by slave
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register LSB)
64 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register LSB)
2bytes for crc
Now I want the value of 64 00 00 00 into floating point number in Vb.net . I think in vb.net its single as its 32bit floating precision number. Now the bytes that I need are 00 64 00 00 but if i process in this way the output is different, so I tried manually putting the data into the byte array and found out that I need 64 00 00 00 to be processed so that i can get desired output.

I am new to vb net so please cut me some slack if this is a stupid question, I have always used vb6 before, but finding that its less and less supported so trying to learn vb.net by myself. Also I am doing this for a hobby not a profession.I am writing an Console application to read a file sequentially 1 byte at a time into a 1 byte buffer. It then copies that byte into a 4 byte lookup buffer, that moves, ie as the file pointer moves forward by one byte the 4 byte lookup buffer copies the last 3 bytes into the first 3 bytes to accept the byte at the file pointer into the 4th byte of the lookup buffer. I am doing 1 byte at a time because the data I am looking for is not at pre-determind offsets and filesizes may not be a multiple of 4.
[Code]...
Help please its driving me mad It appears as if the byte is not being transferred to the lookup buffer so that it would always be 0, either that or I am not converting it to an integer properly

I am reading/writing a fixed length header into a stream and I need to do the following in VB:
1. Convert a 2 byte integer (int16) into a byte array
2. Read 2 bytes of a byte array into an integer variable

I have a very simple question about converting a byte array into 16bit integers. I am connected to a device through a serial port. It sent me six bytes which represent three Int16 integers. For example, the byte array is called newRecievedData(5) and has a length of 6.
The manual that came with the device claims that the int Format is 8 bit MSB|8 bit LSB. Does that mean the following?
newRecievedData(0) contains 8 high bits of the first Int16
newRecievedData(1) contains 8 low bits of the first Int16
newRecievedData(2) contains 8 high bits of the second Int16
[Code]....
but VB.NET Express 2008 gives me the error that Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Short'.

I'm writing a C# application that reads data from an SQL database generated by VB6 code. The data is an array of Singles. I'm trying to convert them to a float[]
Below is the VB6 code that wrote the data in the database (cannot change this code):
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
strFilePath = "c: emp emp.tmp"
' Output the data to a temporary file
[Code]....
The problem here is the VB6 binary to string conversion. The VB6 string char is 2 bytes wide and I don't know how to transform this back to a binary format I can handle.
Below is a dump of the temp file that the VB6 code generates:
And here is the dump of the data as I read it from the database in (=the VB6 string):

K, I'm not sure which forum this question goes in, so I am putting it here.Here's my problem.I have a customer file [CSV] I am importing to SQL. I am using JET to read it into a dataset. I am using a schema.ini file to define columns, because I have one column with up to 1000 characters in it... so I have to define it as a Memo field so it won't truncate at 255 characters.

I need to parse a binary stream in .NET to convert a 16 byte unsigned integer. I would like to use the BinaryReader.ReadUIntXX() functions but there isn't a BinaryReader.ReadUInt128() function available. I assume I will have to roll my own function using the ReadByte function and build an array but I don't know if this is the most efficient method?

I inherited a project that includes a dialog between two applications. One in native C++ the other in VB.NET. The protocol is such that the first 4 bytes (32 bits) of the message encodes the size. However the VB.NET side never sets these first four bytes, however it does use the .net method BeginSendTo, which accepts an argument for size. Does the BeginSendTo method automatically add the size to the beginning of the message in the form of a 4 byte int?

Example 13 is the keycode for "Enter". But it says that theres an error on syntax cause KeyCode is an integer not Byte. What kind of variable does it need there? I mean does it need the keycode (which is a number) or a character e.g. "a"? [Code]

I am creating a class that will represent a file and I am going to have lots of properties. Now I want the properties to return either a integer or a byte array. Is this possible or do I need to create 2 different properties one for the integer and one for the byte array? When I try I get. 'Public Property something As Integer' and 'Public Property something As Byte()' cannot overload each other because they differ only by return types.

So, yes, I've tried with these three formats, and the problem remains the same:I have a string, "s"For Each s As String In stringarray and this array is recieving data from a streamreader that is reading a csv file. The data I'm having dificulty reading are these very specific numbers(yes, only these numbers, because phone numbers get home safe and sound).The numbers I'm talking about are usually decimal.ValueList.Add(Convert.ToDecimal(s))
Now, when I convert them like that, they always bring a "D" alongside with them. I've personally checked the string multiple times, and it just has a "1", and somehow, my list recieves "1D" as a number, same thing happens with decimal numbers(0.29D for example). I've tried with Doubles and Integers, the result is the same.
