Converting A String To A Byte?

Mar 10, 2010

I am using the .NET Framework 2.0, and I am trying to code a client bot for a game called Minecraft, Originally written in Java, there have been quite a few people who have made custom multi-player servers for this game, Primarily in C#, or in a language that i've never heard of, such as Pascal.I'm looking right now at sending this:

Packet ID: 0x00 (0) As Byte
Protocol Version: 0x07(7) As byte
Username: "umby25" As String

[code].....

"Byte cannot be converted to 1-Dimensional array of byte"

I don't understand why this whole thing would work in all of the other programming languages, but not Visual basic.I have tried converting the string using the same method that one of the open source C# servers used, and it failed, telling me that the dictionary does not contain that or something.

Converting Hex String To Byte Array?

Mar 8, 2011

I am working on a mini project that requires me to take a 8 byte hex string that I received from the Serial Port and convert it into a Byte Array and display it on the screen.An example of the string that I receive is 01050001FFFF8FFB

I am currently using the System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str) to help me achieve this. However I realised that if this does not support extended ASCII so whatever byte that is > 7F, I will not get the right value.My current code is as follows:

vb
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
Dim str As String

[code]....

VS 2008 Converting This Byte Array To A String

Jun 9, 2010

I'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?

VS 2008 - Converting Byte Array To String And Back?

Mar 4, 2012

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

Converting Unsigned Byte To Signed Byte?

May 6, 2007

I would like to know how to convert a unisgned byte to signed byte

Atm I got this

a
Function readSignedByte() As SByte
'-128/127
Dim b As SByte

[Code]....

it doesn't work one that well works for numbers positive over 127 if lets say ReadByte() has 128 it would give overflow error which I don't want it to give I would like it to overflow the number to negivate value aka its signed value.

VS 2008 : Converting A "binary String" Into A Byte Or Char?

May 23, 2010

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.

Convert Byte Array Into A String Like So Dim Byt As Byte()?

Jan 25, 2011

I 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.

Communications :: Converting To Byte ?

Jun 28, 2010

I am sending data to some microchips with a serial port control using:

Code:

well, it work up to the value 9, but anything with more that one decimal place sends a byte value of the rightmost digit. So, 16 in the text box will send 6. Basically, it appears to be sending just 6, or 1 followed by 6. Is this how the serial port sends data...one digital at a time? Or, is the conversion to a byte failing?

Converting A Hex Byte Into A Single?

Converting An Int To Little-endian Byte Array?

Oct 26, 2009

I'm converting a stream of bytes from a network packet into a specific struct, and vice versa. For example, when converting a short back and forth, my method looks like this:

myShort = buf(0) + (buf(1) * 256)
or the other direction:
buf(0) = myShort mod 256
buf(1) = myShort 256

When it comes to a 4 byte integer, after some experimentation I found that converting from the byte array to integer is done this way:

myInt = buf(0) + (buf(1) * 256) + buf(2) + (buf(3) * 256)

Basically adding two shorts together. I'm not quite sure to do the reverse of that, to fill the 4 bytes from myInt.

VS 2008 Converting A Byte To Binary

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.

Converting A Number Larger Than 255 Into A Byte Variable

Converting Multi-byte Hex Values To Decimal?

Apr 25, 2011

How would I convert the two individual byte values (in hex) to a decimal value representing the concatenated hex values? For example, if I have the

Dim byte1 As Byte = &H99
Dim byte2 As Byte = &H99

' I want the decimal representation of the hex value "9999" ' (byte1.ToString + byte2.ToString) which should be "39321" Currently I use the following code:

Dim decVal as integer
decVal = Val("&H" + Hex$(byte1).ToString + Hex$(byte2).ToString)

However, when I use this, the value (decVal) comes out to "-26215"

Converting Structure Within Structure To Byte Array For Socket

Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.

I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
