result = SendMessage(buttonhandle, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0)
buttonChecked = (result = BST_CHECKED)
Now I want to know whether the bit for BST_CHECKED is turned on or not.
How would I do that?
I can do
buttonChecked = (result % 2 = BST_CHECKED)
Is there a better way?
Original Code (VB.net): curStyle = curStyle And (Not ES_NUMBER)
Changed Code (C#):
curStyle = curStyle & (!ES_NUMBER);
But it is giving me this error: Operator '!' cannot be applied to operand of type 'long'ES_NUMBER is of data type long.I tried changing it to int, string, etc. All doesn't work.

The interesting thing is, that when I try to shift any number greater than int32 in .net, it yields bad results.. Every number under int32 (2147483647) yields the same results from php and c#.net or vb.net Is there a workaround for this in .net?
Did anyone else read this article under Visual Basic News? I thought it was a very bad treatment of the subject. I especially don't like articles like that when the code they post relies on Option Strict Off.
View 12 RepliesI want to perform a bitwise-AND operation in VB.NET, taking a Short (16-bit) variable and ANDing it with '0000000011111111' (thereby retaining only the least-significant byte / 8 least-significant bits).
View 3 RepliesAccording to MSDN The And operator can act as a bitwise operator OR a logical operator.The only way to know if it is used as One operator or another is, If it is on the right side of an assignment operation? for example x = 3 AND 5. I cannot find any other instances where the bitwise operator would be used instead of the logical operator, are there?

In the designer of a module derived from baseModule, I am presented with a combobox with the ability to just select a single value (Html, Xml, etc.) I would like to be presented with a drop-down checked listbox so I could select which values I want.How can I accomplish this inside of VS2008?

I'm re-writing some old application in VB.NET to C# and ASP.NET 3.5. Everything is going OK but I have this problem - and, as the database will not be changed, I must find a solution to it.The old app saves the list o desired days (from Sunday to Saturday) in a byte. This is the way it do it:
If chkDaily.Checked Then

In this 2nd one attributes are being changed, but they're the wrong ones and I can't pinpoint it right off hand.
Edit: What the overall goal of this is that if the user has the attribute checkbox checked then the file needs to have it set, other wise the attribute (if it's present) needs to be unset.
I am trying to combine three Byte values to one Long value, like System.Drawing.Color.ToArgb() does.
I've looked up reference source code to find it and converted it to VB .NET:
Return CLng((CInt(red) << 16 Or CInt(green) << 8 Or blue Or CInt(alpha) << 24) And -1)
It works fine of course, but I don't really understand why alpha shifted by 24 is last, not first (so it would be in nice order 24, 16, 8). I don't really understand bitwise operations a lot. Also, this code snippet works for 4 bytes, which is redundant for me, I need just three bytes and I wonder if Long is still required when bytes are only three, wouldn't Integer do just fine in this case?
So, my question is, how do I rewrite this code to work with just 3 parameters? Do I need to use Long? And, I know this is silly, but is it possible to make byte shifting in order 16,8,0 instead of 16,8,0,24? It's really just aesthetics, but I am awful perfectionist.
This work nicely
Public Const test As ULong = 1 << 30
This doesn't work nicely
Public Const test As ULong = 1 << 31

I have written a simple VB.net application which saves information to an RFID tag. I am now trying to compress my data. The solution I have come up with involves bitwire operation.Basically I store 2 numbers per 1 byte (0-9, 10 being a period, 12 possibly being a negative/positive flag,13,14,15 unused as of yet).The code I am using basically shifts the byte containing a number left, 4 spaces, then 'OR's it against another number.Therefore 12 is now represented as 00010010. The problem i'm having is decompressing. Obviously getting the '1' back is easy, as I just shift right 4, then grab it. I need to append or remove the last 4 bits.My solution after many headaches was to reverse the bit order, shift left 4, then reverse, then tostring it.

I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving. (And of course decrypt it before deserialization))But I heard that some other serialization classes are present in .Net Framework. Like XmlSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer, DataContractSerializer and protobuf-net.I want to know, which one is best for me?Less RAM space needed for serialize/deserialize is the most important thing for me. Also speed is important.

I have searched a lot on the web about changing file attributes in .net , it takes me a long time to get the final code but it was really good. But after all of my search I didn't know why we use "And" when we compare file attribute like this:
If (System.IO.File.GetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text) And System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden) = System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Then
MsgBox("File is hidden")
Else
MsgBox("File isn't hidden")
End If
Otherwise when I want to set Multiple attributes for on file I have to use "Or" with it like this
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text, IO.FileAttributes.System Or IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Or IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly)I know this isn't a big problem but , I can't write a code I don't know how it is actually works.

View 6 RepliesWhen using the Dictionary class when the key and value types are your own custom types, is it possible to specify the property of the key type object to use with the ContainsKey method? Best described with an example:
Dim dict as New Dictionary(Of CutsomType, AnotheCustomType)

Dim obj2 as AnotherCustomType

I could just omit the lines with ContainsKey but I'd prefer to know how it's making the comparison and how to change it if required. I don't want to use an integer containing the ID for the key type because I want to reference the whole object later on again.
