Converting Hex In A String Back To Bytes?
Jun 9, 2011
I've got the following simple code to convert Bytes to a Hex string :-
Code:
Shared Function BytesToHex(ByVal bytes() As Byte) As String
If bytes Is Nothing Then Return ""
Dim S As String = BitConverter.ToString(bytes)
[Code].....
The HexToBytes routine obviously can take a lot longer to complete than the BytesToHex routine and is noticeably slower when dealing with a lot of data. As I'm converting a lot of hex strings back to bytes, I wondered if there was a more efficient way of doing it without looping through the whole string as I am doing?

my goal is to
1.Take an file(exe,dll,etc)
2.Convert it into hex
3.place that hex values in a stack
4.Execute the values inside the stack to its original form(i.e. take the elements out of stack and then convert it to a compile format)
Imports System.IO
Sub Main()
Dim fileName As String = "ABC.exe"

Ive 2 buttons and 3 text boxes.Button 1 encrypts the data from textbox1 to bytes, converts it to string and display it in textbox2.Button 2 reads string from textbox2, converts it to bytes and decrypts it displaying it in textbox3 (textbox1 and 3 got to match).The encrypt/decrypt process works fine but the conversion from string to bytes is failing and cannot seem to find the problem. The error states that the string doesnt have the same format (Bytes(i) = Byte.Parse(Values(i))

This has to be incredibly simple, but I must not be looking in the right place.
I'm receiving this string via a FTDI usb connection:
'UUU'
I would like to receive this as a byte array of
[85,85,85]
In Python, this I would convert a string to a byte array like this: [ord(c) for c in 'UUU']
I've looked around, but haven't figured this out. How do I do this in Visual Basic?

I have a string of bytes which I am reading from a microcontroller via a serial port which is as follows : 02 10 18 14 CB 73 43 D3 14 00 0D 00 09 00 1B 00 04 B8 3C 00 00 24 00 30 AB
I would like to write some code to place each the bytes into an array with each element of the array consisting of one byte each.

I am storing a value (represented as a string originally) like this -2345678901234.12345678912 - in a double variable. After storing, it is represented in an exponential format (with an e). How do i convert this exponential representation to the original(string) representation?

I'm trying to convert a large array to a string, and then back into the array again after sending it over a network connection. No problems with that, but to keep my string as small as possible, I want to convert each array element into a single byte. I know that each element is going to contain a number no bigger than 100, so there will be no problems keeping them all 1 byte long. Problem is, I can't find the correct conversion commands. I think I should use 'Chr' to convert them into a string, but I can't work out how to convert that back into a number at the other end.

I have a database that is giving me mac addresses as strings. What I need to do is to convert this string to a decimal value, increase it by 1 and convert it back to it's hexadecimal value. I'm familiar with c# but I have to do this in vbscript.

I'm trying to do some validation testing in VB.NET. If Entity.WeekEndDate.ToString = String.Empty Then ErrorList.Add(New cValidationError("id", "Incorrect Week End Date"))
Where WeekEndDate is of type Date. When I originally build the object, how can I insert a value into WeekEndDate that will generate an empty string(ie. "") when converted from a Date to a String?

Working on a personal project.Originally had the file loaded had the program read a number and had trouble converting that number of total seconds into a TimeSpan.Finally got it working with a simple code, after COUNTLESS tried of different code.[code]Now I'm stuck converting that Timespan (in the DD:HH:MM:SS format) back to a integer of total seconds.Tried a bunch of codes I could think of but it was time that I had a fresh idea from other people.

I am looking for something that will convert a byte array to a string and back, anything in-build that does it as this method would:
To string:
vb
Dim b = ByteArrSerialize(Obj, Compress, EncryptKey)
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each item In b
sb.Append(Chr(item))
Next
To byte:
vb
Dim b(0 To Len(TheString) - 1) As Byte
Dim bCount As Long = 0
For Each item In TheString
b(bCount) = Asc(item)
bCount += 1
Next

I have the following function,
Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("webdirect", New Object() {Company, LocationCode, CustomerNumber, OrderNumber, OrderRef, OrderDate, WebLines})
o_Company = CType(results(1),System.Nullable(Of Integer))
o_LocationCode = CType(results(2),String)
o_CustomerNumber = CType(results(3),String)
[Code] .....
So the return type of this function is a string, but I would like to get it back to its original form so I can access the individual sections i.e. o_LocationCode,o_CustomerNumber, etc how can I do that ?
Entire functions looks like this
Public Function webdirect(<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal Company As System.Nullable(Of Integer), <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal LocationCode As String, <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal CustomerNumber As String,
[Code] .....
Called like this
Dim returnArray As String
returnArray = client.webdirect(10, "123", "123", "123", "147", "2011-11-1", webLinesArray, 10, "", "", "", "", "", webRespArray)
No errors on run time but the string seems to be just blank, thats why i was wondering how I convert the string back to the array so I can access the individual elements.

I have been looking for a way to convert bytes down into another unit and append the unit format to the end and return it. I have found a few posts about it but I didn't perticularly want to write that much code that they listed, so I designed "my own" (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this method).Since I am pretty new at all this, I was wondering if anyone could let me know if there are any problems with how it would process the information and perhaps make it faster.[code]

I am tasked with the job of reading the X and Y coordinate of a Text label from a "save file" of a 2D CAD drawing. I found the exact position of the coordinates in the file, but I still don't understand how to read them 100%. They aren't simple ASCII characters.First, I read the file byte by byte, and load them into a textbox seperated by spaces as numbers from 0 to 255. Here is an example X and Y coordinate

I am having trouble converting the Bytes() to a readable text.
I will be receiving packets from a UDP Connection, but due to lack of connectivity issues, they have provided me a .mem file that i am assuming is the whole stream of the packet.
So for now, i am trying to read the file and i get a collection of bytes(). but i cannot convert it to readable text.

I want to take a number such as 600 (0x0258) and send these hex values to a C-based system which is assigning char's to the received bytes and rebuilding to the original number. Currently, I am converting to bytes in VB.Net but it is not giving me the expected outcome (because of the ascii nature of the transfer most likely) [Code] I've also tried using Hex but this doesn't get the data in the correct format.

I have query that involves a cross-language operation, namely converting 4 SBytes to a signed integer. The source language for this operation is Java, which utilizes the ByteBuffer in order to extract a signed integer from the data stream. The inner workings of ByteBuffer are at best a black box to me, as I haven't been able to find any hints to what actually goes on when Java extracts the integer. [Code]

I am reading and writing binary data through a serial port and must (a) reassemble the incoming four bytes that make up a IEEE single-precision float into an actual float, and (b) disassemble a float into its four constituent bytes before squirting them through the serial port.
I am using VB.NET 2008. In VB6, I could use the LSET command, as in:
Code:
Private Type typByteArray
B(1 To 4) As Byte
End Type
[Code]....
But of course this code won't work in VB.NET. In C it would be easy to handle situations like this by using unions, but VB.NET doesn't support them.

I have a "result" which is DataTable and I like to get the x distinct values(City) and convert it back to DataTable how do I do this the code below gives me an error
Dim query = (From x In results.AsEnumerable()
Select (x.Field(Of String)("City"))).Distinct().CopyToDataTable()
so what I want is records of distinct cities I can get that but the problem I am having is converting it back to Datable.
Edited:I am using "where" in this statement and it does convert to Table(works fine) but not on "select"
Dim results = (From myRow In ds.Tables(1).AsEnumerable()
Where (myRow.Field(Of String)("xxxx") = xxxx)
Select myRow).Distinct().CopyToDataTable()

It's become a night mare. All day today I have been trying to tell the hex contents of the bytes in a string. In this case Im attentpting to detect a VBCRLF. In the debugger this in displayed as a " " and thats it no matter how I have to setting set.It makes it difficult doesn't it? The thing is that debuggers are quite capable of displaying adresses, of course this is only relevant to systems that do not change virtual addresses (which Windows does not)only physical addresses.Why is it impossible to see the values of a vbcrlf (0D0A) in a string? This sytem is becoming impossible to use.

I'm trying to send a 28 character string to a remote ip address and port. I've done this successfully in vb.net using the following code snippets:
Dim swon As String = "A55A6B0550000000FFFBDE0030C8"
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]()
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(swon)
netStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
I now have to convert this across to c++ and have the following so far:
char *swon = "A55A6B0550000000FFFBDE0030C8";
array<Byte>^ sendBuffer = gcnew array<Byte>(bufferSize);
sendBuffer = BitConverter::GetBytes( swon );
tcpStream->Write(sendBuffer, 0, sendBuffer->Length);
but am getting stuck at this point. I'm sure I'm missing a simple syntax error but I can't figure it out!To clarify, I'm not getting an error, but I don't think the string is being converted to bytes correctly as when I convert back, I just get a '01'
