Converting Binary To Text?
Aug 19, 2009
Okay here is the code I'm using to convert text to binary and then back to text for display.
Module convertbinary
Public Function ConvertToText(ByVal BinText As String)
Dim BinChar As String
[Code].....
What I'm trying to do is store a query string in a table cell. So I figured the best way would be to convert the query string to some binary format for storing and then when I pull it out of the database I would convert it back to a string of text.

I was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.

Is there a way to convert byte values to binary so i can read the values from the bits themselves? I have some byte whose values are 00 09 and I'd like to convert the values to bits to be like this : 0000 0000 0000 1001. Then I'd like to read the value of first 2 bits and the remaining 14 bits separately.

I've been trying to figure this out for hours now, and I've given up on trying to solve it myself. Basically what I need to do, is convert a "double octet" binary string, such as "11010011 01011101", into a byte or char type if possible.I use the following code to convert my Unicode text into binary:
Private Function ByteToStr(ByVal bt() As Byte) As String
Dim st As New StringBuilder
For Each byt As Byte In bt
[code]....
But that gives me weird results. The "Convert.FromBase64String" obviously isn't what I'm after. Any help would be great. If I can convert the "binary string" into a bytes or chars I can get it into a string.

How do I change bytes [text stored in those bytes] in a binary file?
I have a little function that read bytes 335-343 [For Keyer] and bytes 344-352 [for verifier] and displays it. These bytes store who the keyerID and VerifierID of a data entry file are. From time to time the Verifier Resumes the file [to insert new records], and his/her name gets stored in the KeyerID bytes. So if the original keyer had lots of errors, the new verifier now becomes the owner of this file and the errors are attributed to him/her [not fair]. He/She gets penalized when there are lots of errors.
My question to you is, how do I change the content of those bytes and save it to the file, without damaging any part of the file? I want to save 'H345' in those bytes, [H345 is an example of a Keyer/Verifier ID]
note - as of now I am using 010 Editor [binary editor]to manually change those bytes. When I use this editor, I can see the text portions for those bytes.[code]...

converting an image file into binary text in VB 2010.I am working on a compression program and need to see the actual binary as text. I have code for converting text files to binary and it works fine but, need to attempt files with greater randomness that are typically uncompressable.(JPG's) I understand that the file conversions may be huge. I plan on manipulating the binary in smaller manageable chunks.

I have done a text-to-binary-translator but it only translate one letter at the time, and I want to write a whole text and then translate it to binary
The code now is:
Dim keyin As Integer
keyin = Val(TextBox1.Text)
If TextBox1.Text = "a" Then
TextBox2.Text = 1100001
End If
etc.
It only translate the letter "a" to 1100001. I want to write like "alex" and it would be like
1100001110110011001011111000.

I am doing some exercises on encrypting data. One of them are binary files. I am currently using triple DES to encrypt and decrypt the files both in VB.NET and C#... Now the thing is, once it is decrypted in VB.NET and saved, I can execute it again... But for some reason, my C# file is bigger! 20,4K where VB.NET one is 19,0. The C# file also is rendered unexecutable...Upon a closer look. The files appear almost exactly the same, but C# seems to add in a few extra bytes here and there in (seemingly) random places... I am currently using:
File.ReadAllText(String filepath, Encoding encoding); with UTF-8 encoding.

i am currently doing a project for my course. My project is creating a system for a mechanical workshop, this includes customer information, car information, expenditure ect. I am not allowed to use access to store the information as this will decrease my overall mark on difficulty hence i am going to use files to store the information. I am using VB 2005. I have tried with binary files, this was good at first as it stored data in a record but then when i tried to create a algorithm to search the data it failed.
1) Should i change my file from binary to text or another type?
2) Anyone have any ideas to search within a binary file? If you do can i get some code please.

What are the pros and cons of standardizing on using Option Compare Text vs Option Compare Binary for VB.NET development?
- EDIT -Just some background since it seems like it would help - my development team has found it much easier to standardize on Option Strict On, Option Infer On, and Option Explicit due to their obvious advantages over the alternatives. What we haven't found as easy to standardize on is Option Compare Text/Binary as there seem to be advantages and disadvantages to both and different developers have differing opinions. Some of the arguments for each side have been as follows:
Some of the advantages/arguments for Option Compare Text:
It reduces verbosity in the code by removing the need for StringComparers and .ToLower() calls and StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase all over the place Data needs are rarely concerned with casing, as evidenced by most databases being case-insensitive. Rarely would you ever really want to distinguish between THIS and This and this when doing a data comparison.
Certain specific use cases are simpler when you don't have to worry about casing. For example, handling ASP.NET control events where commands are sent to the codebehind as strings and casing-issues are difficult to track down as the compiler cannot help you. Think Select Case statements for <asp:repeater> events as an example.Many of the concerns raised about text comparison concern internationalization, which is often not that relevant to a lot of applications.VB specifically is case insensitive as a language, though Visual Studio helps you by at least enforcing consistency in your casing. SQL is case insensitive as well. Strings are the only place where you have to remember to worry about it, which highlights the awkwardness in ways you wouldn't normally notice it if you were worried about it everywhere.
Some of the advantages/arguments for Option Compare Binary:C# works this way, as do most other languages. It's somewhat unexpected to have alternate behavior and the unexpected is not good in programming.There is a slight performance penalty with Option Compare Text as evidenced by the IL generated on compile. Option Compare Binary doesn't have that penalty.Option Compare Text only makes certain parts of string handling case insensitive. But, it doesn't make it so that things like dictionary indexing are case insensitive by default. So, it's not like Option Compare Text actually makes it so that you don't have to worry about casing at all. If it only works half way, why bother?Programming is hard. It's best not to attempt to smooth over that fact. Worrying about string casing is part of the deal. Humans recognize THIS is different from This and tHiS. Of course your code should too - after all, they aren't really the exact same string.

I'm new to VB and trying to figure out how I can replace a bit of descriptive text in a binary file. I presume its binary as I cant open it with anything but a hex editor. I've changed the text (file description) in the hex editor and saved it fine but I'm unsure how I go about saving just the section of information I need. I can work out the saving bit later.In the attached file you'll see the highlighted bit I want to edit. I need to replace the whole line or the file corrupt but I can fill it up with null characters and the numbers are just

I ran across my first unicode data, and I am not sure what to do with it. I read the unicode text from a binary file using the ReadBytes method, because ReadChars threw an exception when it tried it. Well, long story short, I have found a way to work with the data, I can convert it using a small Function I wrote, which goes something like this: [Code] And this works wonderfully. It just throws away anything not in the ASCII range, including the BOM at the start of the unicode data.
But I would guess that this method is not very universal and probably not the best way. Are there any VB functions available to do this sort of thing? I was able to find something called Text.Encoding, but there didn't seem to be a reverse of that not that I found anyhow. Any ideas?

Couldn't think of a better title.(Background on the problem/me)Okay, so, first question/post here, so hi. Now that that's done with, the information pertinent to my problem. I'm fairly new to VB (and programming as well, aside from screwing around with C++ and learning assembler(well, attempting is the better word) god knows how many years ago), and have only seriously been programming for about under half a year, and my skill level is about at that stage. Only been using VB.Net, nothing older. Depending on the time of day and if I'm home or at school, I fluxuate between VB express and Vis Studio 08. Umm, this program I'm having trouble with was on a test that I took yesterday (took the problem home with me cause I really wanted to figure out what was wrong with it).
The stipulations of the test were:
No For->Each Loops
No using Built-In Sorting or Searching Functions
