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.

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

Which I want to convert to a byte array. Is there a built in function in .NET 3.5 that will get the job done or will I need to write a function to loop through each pair in the string and convert it to its 8-bit integer equivalent?

Converting Struct Object To Byte Array?

May 25, 2012

I am needing to write data to a usb device. The USB device uses a byte array (DataArray() as byte) to store the data. How can I assign a struct object (myStruct(0)) to the byte array. I run into the error "Value of type byte cannot be converted to 1-dimensional array of byte" when I try to cast the struct as a byte.

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 Reading Bytes (Little Endian/Big Endian)?

Apr 14, 2010

I need to be able to read bytes in Little Endian and in Big Endian as well. Is this possible to do in VB? I know that VB reads in Little Endian by default, but I also need to read in Big Endian.

I have tried this:

Dim i1 as Long
Dim fs As New IO.FileStream(filename, IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim br As New IO.BinaryReader(fs, System.Text.Encoding.BigEndianUnicode)

[code]....

This return the value "1616183296" when it is supposed to return "21856". I've opened the file up in Hex Workshop, and looking at it in Little Endian, I do get the value of "1616183296" and in Big Endian, I get the value of "21856".

Converting Structure Within Structure To Byte Array For Socket

Aug 29, 2009

I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. 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.

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.

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.

C# - Count Occurences In Byte List/array Using Another Byte List/array?

Jun 20, 2011

I am trying to get a count of all the times a byte sequences occurs in another byte sequences. It cannot however re-use a bytes if it already counted them. For example given the string let's assume the byte sequence was k.k it would then find only 3 occurrences rather than 5 because they would be broke down like: [k.k].[k.k].[k.k]. and not like [k.[k].[k].[k].[k].k] where they over lap and essentially just shift 2 to the right.

Ideally the idea is to get an idea how a compression dictionary or run time encoding might look. so the goal would be to get down to just 2 parts, as (k.k.k.) is the biggest and best symbol you can have.

Here is source so far:

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?
