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'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?
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))

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.
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"

Ok I have been working on a little project and it involves a list box.I want to be able to get all the text from the list box and set it as a String or somehow put it all in a text box (which will be set invisible).I tried using a text box before I started using the list box but it just wont work and all the buttond on my form stop working all together.

Is there a better way to convert this to a string array?
i have seen many posts resolving issues with converting bytes to KB, MB and GB...how would i convert GB,MB and KB to bytes?
View 11 RepliesI 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]
View 29 Repliesin my application, I am pulling in items from a microsoft project file using mpxj - one of the items I need is the predecessors. The way I am able to pull the predecessor is using a build in function of mpxj which returns a type of java.util.list - I can save this to variable as an object, but I need to find a way to bring the data to a format I can easily use so I can store it into a database. Listed below is the line of code I am using to pull the predecessors from the project file.
Dim predecessors = task.getPredecessors
and here is the result when putting a tracepoint in to get the value of predecessors
[[Relation [Task id=4 uniqueID=45577 name=Standards Training - Round 2] -> [Task id=3 uniqueID=45576 name=Process Excellence Training]]]
Even if I could get the above as a string, I could work with it enough to get the data I need. The above example is where there is 1 item in the predecessor list, but sometimes there are multiple items. Here is an example of the tracepoint when there are multiple items.
[[Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=47 uniqueID=45857 name=Organizational Assessment]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=49 uniqueID=45859 name=Document Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=56 uniqueID=45866 name=Infrastructure Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=58 uniqueID=45868 name=IT Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=60 uniqueID=45870 name=Organizational Deliverables]]]

View 1 RepliesI 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
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesI 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 using VB.NET 2008. In VB6, I could use the LSET command, as in:
Code:

End Type

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.
when i transfer the bytes sent by the client program to a string the string length is affected.when i put the bytes sent by the client program to a message box. it returns the corrrect text. but when i check the length it will return 8192 or higher. but the actual size is just 5.

I'm using this code to count up bytes in list box 5. It works but when the value of bytes is 0 i get this {Width 100, height = 200,) I think the problem is the ToString So does anyone know how to count numbers in the list box?

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'

first asking an question and then introducing but i kinda need some help in here.First of all im not new to VB, But i am to VB.NET and espessially socket programming.Now i need an way to send the lenght of the string being send in bytes before the string itself so <lenghtinbytes><string>.
ive tried so many things, and its possible because the client itself does it too...but just cant find an way.

I want it to do is that you input a string, then you select an algorithm (Theres only going to be one RijnDael) then you input a key, then the Initialization Vector comes from "txtIV.text" then you select the key bytes and the block bytes from the numeric up/down, then you either encrypt or decrypt.
View 1 RepliesOk i am having some issues designing a base-class to handle generics.Caveat is i need to restrict the type put in as a Numeric type, specifically Int16, Int32, or Int64 (Short or Long).I know you can do Of T as {Structure} but i dont want to select the key bytes and the block bytes from the numeric up/down.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that needs to send hex bytes ie.Sub receives an integer like 276 and then performs
Dim CmdBuf() As Byte = New Byte() {Byte1, Byte2}
strHex = Hex(intNumber) which makes strHex equal to 114 in hex...
Next I need to break into separate bytes something like
Byte1 = Left(strHex, 1)
Byte2 = Right(strHex, 2)
But this does not work......Hex value of 114 needs to be converted into a couple of bytes like &H1 &H14 to be sent out the serial port.
.Write(Buf, 0, 2)
How can I do this?
I need to basically search for either a string such as "I-AM-RIGHT-OVER-HERE" or search for a sequence of bytes and return the offset of where that string or byte sequence is at.
View 1 RepliesI am using sockets and such for a while now, and want to go an step further in this. Now for example lets say an client would send [lenghtofstringinbytes]string[somethingelseinbytes]another thing.
How can I send/read/parse it?
Now I am doing this:
Private Sub onDataArrival(ByVal ar As IAsyncResult)
Try
Dim obj_SocketState As StateObject = CType(ar.AsyncState, StateObject)
Dim obj_Socket As Socket = obj_SocketState.WorkSocket
Dim sck_Data As String
[Code] .....
So using Getstring for it, but thats not the way for this as you get nothing else but an empty string back. So I have to parse it without converting it to an string.
