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)
[code].....
Most of the time when we read the file stream into a byte array, we would write the following code.[code]But here we have to convert Length into an integer type (line 2 of the code above) since we cannot declare a byte array using the long data type (with option strict on). Is this a good practice? What is the work around for this problem?
View 1 Replies[code] I get the error message of "Option Strict disallows implicit conversion from Long to UInteger." [code] I dimensioned each variable as a UInteger and not a Long, the values for both X & Y are well below the maximum values of a UInteger as far as I can tell (Data Types Summary). [code]
View 5 RepliesI'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.
View 19 RepliesI 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'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

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):

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.
