My app is receiving data in blocks but I don't know what size data will be received until it is finished, unlike file reading. So my app loads the data in chunks of 1024 bytes and then stops when there is no data to read. My question is, is it possible to keep increasing the size of a byte array as the data is being received?

View 3 RepliesI've been trying to reuse my bosses vb.net buildpacket code which he has successful used for Serial programming eg. SerialPort1.Write(buildpacket(useraddress,252,"0006","0") for the function listed below.My challenge.Create equivalent functionality for Socket BeginSend() which requires a byte array.Whether modifying the vb.net below or getting a c# equivalent to work, it has been repeatedly recommended to scrap the string concatenation approach for which I have to use Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes() and then getting rid of extra bytes with zero values.
I'm lacking in imaging something different which would work for socket programming directly and allow me to eliminate all the hassles that c# integer conversions into string value that can be encoded trouble free.I would need to call the equivalent of the following that would return a byte array rather than a string with the following arguments

2. Destination address (0-255)
3. Function code ("0001" through "0100")

View 2 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

I have 2 byte arrays. I want to merge these two byte array into 1 byte array.Usually, I just create a new byte array with length = byte array #1 + byte array #2. Then copy byte array #1 and #2 to the new byte array.do I have more efficient way to merge 2 byte array using VB.NET and .Net 4?

View 19 RepliesI have a byte array that I convert into a string like so Dim byt As Byte() = New Byte(255) {} s = New String(Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(byte))My question is when I look at the string in a debuger its clearly a normal string but when I compare it to what I know its supposed to be it doesnt equal. So i did a quick check and for some reason its return a string thats the length of 256 characters. So i did a s.trim and it still is 256 characters long.

View 8 RepliesI am trying to get a count of all the times a byte sequences occurs in another byte sequences. It cannot however re-use a bytes if it already counted them. For example given the string let's assume the byte sequence was k.k it would then find only 3 occurrences rather than 5 because they would be broke down like: [k.k].[k.k].[k.k]. and not like [k.[k].[k].[k].[k].k] where they over lap and essentially just shift 2 to the right.
Ideally the idea is to get an idea how a compression dictionary or run time encoding might look. so the goal would be to get down to just 2 parts, as (k.k.k.) is the biggest and best symbol you can have.
Here is source so far:

View 5 RepliesI didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))

View 2 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesI 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?

Working with System.Cryptography, I'm noticing that data arrays up to a certain size will either conform to the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) or the size of the Key provided. So with a 48-byte Key and a 32-byte IV, up to around 42 bytes of data will encrypt to 32 bytes and 44+ will encrypt to 48 bytes of data. I've tested this with a variety of data arrays, and it seems to always come out the same... but I have a concern that higher byte values in the original array may result in longer encrypted arrays.
how or whether I can construct byte arrays that will be guaranteed to come out of Encryption at a pre-determined size?
I have an array defined As string and the value stored in site is like "7E", "A1" and so on. But in order to send out this array through serial port. I need to change the the array to As Byte instead of using As String. How can I convert it?
View 8 RepliesThe following image or RTF file illustrates how I'm trying to transform an input Byte array into an output array of Booleans. This is basically what I have listed below. figure out how to get from one array to the next while shifting values of bytes within 8 byte groupings to shift low order to high order or vica versa. What I mean by that is best seen by looking at the illustration of actual input an required output. The reason for this is that the hardware devices have registers and the display which can be seen in the links above needs to convey the disabled sensor cable cell locations.
[Code]...
The code below contains the actual data I receive as input and the required output to send to a hardware device. The application requires incoming boolean values be processed in sets of 8, corresponding to their resultant Byte value. The first incoming boolean value must assume the least significant position of the resultant Byte Value. False, False, True, True, True, True, True, True will result in a Byte Value of 252 if viewing the resultant Byte value in the debugger. Those boolean values will be reversed in order to become True, True, True, True, True, True, False, False. What I can't figure out below is how to accomplish this in the form of masking or shifting the values to accomplish this.
