View 9 RepliesI have a need to construct a command Byte to send to another device using bit wise operations.There seem to be plenty of article on how to do this for indiviual bits using an OR'd constant but how do I do this for values that span multiple bits? eg "Bits 4-1" set the repeat count".so how to I inject a repeat count value of say 7 into my command byte?
View 1 RepliesI must search a binary string for a pattern. This worked fine in VB6 using Get to read a file into a string and using InStr to search for the pattern. The conversion from VB6 to VB.NET changed Get to FileGet and warned of new behavior, but I don't see anything in the FileGet documentation about not being able to read 0 value bytes.
I don't mind at all changing to a new method, but ultimately I must get the data into a string rather than an array.

I have a packet that I need to send to a client with an ID of 255. I've had no problems sending packets with IDs of 0, 1, and 2. The ID has to be 255. For some reason, after the translation has happened, both me with my server, and the client, get "63" for any Id greater than 127.
This is the code I am using:
Console.WriteLine(Asc(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Chr("255")))))
Now, This is an overly complicated version of what the server does. You may consider this a bit unnecessary but the inverse functions performed are for your viewing reasons only.
Where it says "255" is the Packet Id I need sent in the format above. As I said, anything larger than 127 returns "63".
I'm reading a binary file. Apparently its older, and some of its values are based not on position, but on null terminated bytes. Position 17 thru 35 represents a value, however, if their is a null byte at 30, then you get garbage if you try to read 17 thru 35 as a value...
I need to read, specifically, from 17 to 29 in this instance because pos 30 is a null byte.
Have to read it byte by byte, no problem. Not sure though the syntax of comparing a null byte specifically.
If you need a sample of the binary file, I can post it.
I am reading some values from a Byte Array ,i am confused with the Offset

Is there any way using existing .NET framework classes/methods that you can sequentially read a byte array? I dont mean just using a for loop to loop through from the beginning to the end, I mean having the kind of methods that you have when working with an IO.Stream subclass, such as ReadByte. I thought I would just be able to construct a new IO.Stream class and pass it in a byte array but it seems that Stream is just for inheriting and cannot actually be used itself. I could implement my own class that just has an internal position counter and a byte array and then each time you call ReadByte on that it advances the position and returns the byte at that index... but it seems odd to have to implement such a basic thing myself.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a small application with VB 2008 and MS SQL 2005. For reporting using RDLC reports. Everything is going well except page wise total.I need page wise total on each page and each(all) page wise total should be displayed on last page. I need the report output like this.
SrNo. Amount
1. 200
2. 200
3. 200

Note : No. of rows/page are not fixed.For group Total I have used Sum function of rdlc table with scope table_Group2 & for Grand total I have used Sum function of rdlc in table footer with dataset scope.For page wise total I have used textbox in Report footer (=Sum(ReportItems!amt.Value). How to get page wise totals on last page again.
I am sending data to server via TCP IP Connection. I am using a continuous loop at the server end - that accepts new clients and while streams can be read, it reads data stream.
The data is sent from the client with 2 leading bytes of data that represent the size of the packet of data sent and type of data.
My question is: how do I retrieve the size of the data packet and then check that this amount of data has been retrieved?

I need to read signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit values from a file stream which may be little-endian or big-endian (it happens to be a tiff file which carries the byte order indicator at the start).I initially started by writing my own functions to read the values and was able to do so for unsigned values. e.g.
Public Function ReadUInt32() As UInt32
Dim b(4) As Byte
input.Read(b, 0, 4)
[code]....
But then I started looking at signed values and my brain broke.As an alternative, I found the IO.BinaryReader which will let me read signed values directly but doesn't seem to have any way to indicate that the data is big-endian or little-endian.Is there a nice way of handling this? Failing that, can someone tell me how to convert multiple bytes into signed values (in both byte orders)?
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

I use the streamreader to fill a datagridview. I need to sort the datagridview integer-wise and have tried to use the SortCompare event. To compare the row values i use the function
Public Function CompareIntegers(ByVal value1 As String, ByVal value2 As String) As Integer
Dim int1 As Integer = Integer.Parse(value1)
Dim int2 As Integer = Integer.Parse(value2)
[code]....
Which i call from the SortCompare event with
Private Sub DGV_SortCompare(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewSortCompareEventArgs)
e.SortResult = CompareIntegers(e.CellValue1, e.CellValue2)
End Sub
The event is fired but the datagridview is still sorted as strings.

View 12 RepliesI just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I
1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and
2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?

Is it possible in VB to truncate a larger data type ( an int with a value greater than 255) to a smaller one, say a Byte (which only goes up to 255) in a way such that the 8LSBs of the integer are copied to the newly created byte. I have tried this using CType with the following code, however it does not work.
Dim TestByte As Byte = CType(Test, Byte)
Where the variable "Test" is an integer with a value of 419. This code always results in the Overflow exception.
