View 4 RepliesI have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

I have a VB.NET dll which pulls out binary data from and opens it as a pdf. It works fine if I create a file on the user's machine and then open that. What I want to do, however, is just open it in Adobe without creating the file on their machine first (there's customer data in the file and we don't want copies of it sitting around unecessarily).
It's possible in ASP.NET to just stream the data to a browser and open it in that without creating the file, but I can't find a similar methodology for doing that straight to Adobe. Does anyone know if this is even possible or do I have to create the file in order to have it open?
I'm a beginner programmer, but this may not be a beginner program question. I would like to write a program in small basic or visual basic that reads data from a binary file. The data are formatted in hex and look like this:

I'm designing a very simple program that will need to save both data and photos to a cd but my code refuses to let me do it. Here is what I have:
FileOpen(1, "E:FileWithData.dat", OpenMode.Binary)
FilePut(1, AString, 10)
I keep getting an incorrect function at FileOpen
I saw some methds which take numerous lines of code but I like to keep my code very simple so I can easily tell what it does.
I need to store/retrieve a bit from a data table of 3.268.760 bits long.
Using w As New BinaryWriter(File.Open("test.bin", FileMode.Create))
for x = 1 to 3268760
For i = 1 To 3268760[code]....
the w.write(?) stores a boolean value meaning 0/1 for false/true values, but Vb.net seems to use an whole byte to store this data which is too expensive for my table (3.268.760^2).Is there a pratical way to store/retrive single bits from a file using vb.net? (meaning as little as possible conversion to other types).
I have a binary file. If I look at it with a hex editor, the first values are:208, 207, 17, 224, 161, 177, 26, 225, 0, 0, 0, ... etc.It has a length of 330240 bytes I have tried to open it and read it into a string so I can manipulate it and write it back. No matter what I use, I either don't get the correct number of bytes or the values in the string are incorrect. The most common error results in the first values being: 63, 63, 17, 63, 63, 26, 0, 0, 0 .... etc.It is interesting that it appears that any value > 63 becomes 63.
I get the 2nd values by a simple loop:
For lnx = 0 To 99
Debug.Write(Asc(line.Substring(lnx, 1)))
Next
I have tried a whole number of ways to read in the file, including filestream, My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText, File.io.readAllLines, etc.All either give me a string length of about 324000 (not sure why) or, if they do, don't have the correct values. Yes, I have tried various encoding options.
I need to find a string (sort of like: "D" & Chr(0) + "L" & Chr(0) + "S" & Chr(0)... ) so I can then replace that portion of the string with a new value, then write out the file.I use the ".indexOf" to find the data in the string.Why can't I load the file into a string? Or, do you know of an easy way to find some text (similar to above) in a file and then replace the next x number of bytes with a new value and close the file?
I'm having problem reading Binary file that has two types of data in it; Strings and numeric data in decimal format.[code]...
1. The loop doesn't stop, and it gives me "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" Error..
2. The output isn't accurate, apart from a few random correct strings and numbers..
3. After the loop is fixed, how can i save the data to an Array or write it to a text file?. Can the be saved line by line so that the output file has the same number of lines?
4. As you can see in the code, I've tried writing data in a file, but it doesn't work.. Messagebox does show some data (even though it's not accurate), the file however doesn't contain any data..
How would I use the BinaryWriter to append binary data to a file that is very large? Say a file that is 3GB in size. The BinaryWriter's write method will only accept an integer for the index value. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm talking about. If I were to enter a value that exceeds the size of an integer on my 32bit Windows XP system, which I believe is 2147483647 it will reject it right?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to extract an image from a pdf file using iTextSharp.
The pdf is made from a scanner: it has a single page that contains one big image.
When looking at the file I find the following:
<< /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Obj3 /Width 2480 /Height 3507 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /BlackIs1 true /BitsPerComponent 1 /Length 5 0 R /Filter /CCITTFaxDecode /DecodeParms << /K -1 /Columns 2480 >> >> stream

But, that doesn't work as I get one big black tiff file with different shades of gray on top.
Does anyone know a way how I can decode those CCITTFaxDecode images?

I need to create a PDF drawing of our products with dimensions filled in, based on template files. After the user selects the proper template file for the desired product, a window should pop up that prompts the user for the necessary dimensions, such as width, length, etc. Then the program would fill in all the fields on the template form with the proper values. Some fields would just be filled with the exact values that the user enters in, but other fields may require a calculated value based on the entered values. ie. Overall width = nominal width + 6. So somehow I need to figure out how to make the template hold the equations. Can anyone offer me some guidance on how to make this work the way I described? Can iTextSharp determine if a PDF file has fields in it? Can it loop through all the fields & get the field names?

[how can i create binary tree for mlm
View 1 RepliesI need to compare two tree-structured reports and show comparison results in a datagridview in vb.net. I think using tree structure should be efficient. But note that I DO NOT use a tree view to display results (I found a lot of help in tree view though). All I want to do is to construct two trees, and then search the trees and compare. I do not know how to write this in vb.net.

View 2 RepliesI need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
This is what I am trying to do. I need to create some data inside my app and send it to another app as a file. But this 'file' should never be written to the hard drive. It will only ever exist in RAM.

Can anyone help me to break down the instructions for this assignment.Create an application that allows the user to type in a 32 bit number using the binary system, and convert that number into the decimal numbering system.For example, the user types 000000000000 0010 (where there are 30 leading 0's, 1 then 0 from left to right), and the output would be 2.The user will type a string that is 32 characters in length.A For loop 'reads' each character using the x.substring(i,1) where i is the current character we are reading and 1 means one character only,and x is the entry the user typed (use a Textbox to get the entry but Inputbox is also ok).When you start at the first character (from the right) then that value is to be * 2 ^ 0 then the second character is to be * 2 ^ 1, then the third character is * 2 ^ 2, hence:( x.substring(i,1) converted to Integer ) * 2 ^ j represents the decimal value of the current number (0 or 1) we are reading.A variable is needed to accumulate all those values.After the loop is done, display the accumulated value.To test this code on a simple version, enter a 4 digit binary number, where 0010 is decimal 2, 0110 is decimal 6, 0111 is 7, and 1000 is 8.
My understanding is the user must enter 32 digits into a textbox. The textbox should place limitations that only allow the digits "0" and "1". This error could be displayed to the user with a messagebox that then asks to reset the value orginally inputted into the textbox. My understanding is I should continue creating the formula of the position of each character where the third character is *2^2, fourth is *2^3, fifth is *2^4 and so on? I don't understand the formula and how it works.
I've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.
Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.
