I'm working on a Steam Skin Creator. To do so i need to make my app to be able to make Targa images, since the user can change the color of the skin. I need to know how to make a 32-bit Targa image byte by byte, and how to color specific pixels. Here is how the TGA pic will look like ( 10x10 pixels )
In VB6 you could BITBLT things around before refreshing the screen. In .NET, I'm aware of DrawImage, but that can only be done on a paint event rather than before anything gets painted. The issue I have is, I need to open several files with image data in them and then build a bigger image with those smaller images. Before I could open them, BITBLT them to a Buffer. As far as I can tell .NET offers no way to do this as the only function I've been able to find (DrawImage) only works within the paint event. Is there still a way to do this in VS08 or no?
View 6 RepliesIs it possible convert an array of bytes (PNG format) to image and then, show it in a picture box control?
View 3 Repliesi'm trying to convert an image into bytes in vb.net but i failed, i searched the web and threads over here, but seems that i couldn't find any working example or code.
View 7 RepliesIs there anyway to convert an image file bytes array into an array of the real RGB values of that image?
I don't really want to use GDI+ or the System.Drawing library, but simply apply a certain calculation/processing to every byte of the image file and get another array that contains the RGB values of every pixel in that image. I know it could be done as I know how to do it in a different programming language (Python) but not in Visual Basic.
The code for this is:
'IMAGE HANDLING
Dim bytes() As Byte = DS.Tables("Location").Rows(0).Item(4)
Dim ProductImage As Image = Image.FromStream(New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes))
pic_ProductImageDisplay.Image = ProductImage
pic_ProductImageDisplay.Load()
The error occurs line 3 stating "ArgumentException was unhandled: Parameter is not valid."
I want it to do is that you input a string, then you select an algorithm (Theres only going to be one RijnDael) then you input a key, then the Initialization Vector comes from "txtIV.text" then you select the key bytes and the block bytes from the numeric up/down, then you either encrypt or decrypt.
View 1 RepliesOk i am having some issues designing a base-class to handle generics.Caveat is i need to restrict the type put in as a Numeric type, specifically Int16, Int32, or Int64 (Short or Long).I know you can do Of T as {Structure} but i dont want to select the key bytes and the block bytes from the numeric up/down.
View 2 RepliesI keep getting a ProtocolViolationException "Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified." on the following code.I've tried setting Content-Length numerous ways with no success.

What exactly does this line do?
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
Does it read the entire message string sent by the client? I have a line to write to the stream later in the code and that does not seem to be sending anything back to the client, although the code around is excuting.
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
While (i <> 0)
Try

A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?
View 9 RepliesI have a vb.net 2008 windows form application that I was just assigned to work on. how to maintain and test changes to both the pre build and the post build events? Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
View 12 RepliesI have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.

I am not sure how to explain but will try through example. I need to be able to add bits to a byte see below.
I have a total of four bytes (256mb). I need to be able to add the bytes to get 256?
Example: Byte1 = 0 Byte2 = 0 byte3 = 108 byte4 = 1 I need this to equal 217 (11011001) 108 (1101100) + 1(1) = 217(11011001)
I'm writing a VB.net application (but you can answer in C# if you want, no problem) that uses a 3rd party .NET library. In particular, one method in this library takes an IO.Stream as input (among other things) and writes the results of its processing to said stream. My problem is that the method CLOSES the stream after writing to it, so I can't read back the data that it wrote in it!To be more specific: it works, of course, if the stream is a FIeStream , since it writes the data on disk, but what if I want to read the data directly to memory? I tried using a MemoryStream, but as I said, when the method returns the stream is already closed, and I can't read back anything from it.
Imports System.IO
Public Class CloseHijackedMemoryStream
Inherits MemoryStream

I have a simple problem (I think). I would like to get the CRC of this array of bytes
0x0 0x7E or 0 7E or 0
Anyway the one calculator I use gives me: 78F0 or 78 F0 (Hex). Anyway, I think its CRC16 but im not sure. So if anyway can show me some code to give me a CRC calculation that matches (78 F0 or 78F0), that would be great, Im not sure if you have to include 7E or not
My app displays the bytes downloaded in a label using:
Private Sub MyDownloader_DownloadedByteCountChanged(ByVal ByteCount As Integer) Handles MyDownloader.DownloadedByteCountChanged
lblDownloaded.Text = ByteCount.ToString()
End Sub
But I thought it would be 'nicer' if it display the amount as kb/mb/gb, etc.
