View 1 RepliesReading A Null Terminated Byte?
Mar 29, 2011I'm reading a binary file. Apparently its older, and some of its values are based not on position, but on null terminated bytes. Position 17 thru 35 represents a value, however, if their is a null byte at 30, then you get garbage if you try to read 17 thru 35 as a value...
I need to read, specifically, from 17 to 29 in this instance because pos 30 is a null byte.
Have to read it byte by byte, no problem. Not sure though the syntax of comparing a null byte specifically.
If you need a sample of the binary file, I can post it.
C# - Returning List Of Null-terminated Strings From External Function Into .NET
Mar 29, 2012I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger
End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
char **tmplist;
GetNames(&tmplist)

.net - What To Do When Dll Return A String Not Correctly Terminated
Mar 10, 2009I have an third part dll that have a function that returns a string.When I call the function I got for example "123456" back. At least it seams like that, but when i do mystring.length it does not return any length. If I set the text property of a label it shows "123456".
When I have the string I got from the dll I send it to a webservice function:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
The webservice crashes with an webexeption ("protocoll error") when I send in the string I got from the dll. If I instead send it like this:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
dim FixedString as string = mid(mystring,1,6)
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
Then it works and everything is fine. That leads me to think that the string I got from the DLL is in someway not terminated correct.And I dont know how to fix it from vb.net (I cant change the DLL)and I dont know in beforehand how long the string will be.The dll does only work on site when specific hardware is connected so I can't sit at the office trying to fix this in dev-environment. So I would like to have some possibly solutions to this before I go to the customer again.
Edit 1:I tried to just do a loop that looped from 1 to 100 (because I dont know the real length) and tried to copy all characters that <>"" to a new variable but it didnt work. I didnt try other variants because the day was over and I had to leave the customer site.
Edit 2:The DLL Im talking to is made in VB6. That DLL is talking to other DLLs that is made in C++ (I think).

How To Convert Null Value To String
May 23, 2010foreach (PropertyInfo PropertyItem in this.GetType().GetProperties()) {
PropertyItem.SetValue(this, objDataTable.Rows[0][PropertyItem.Name.ToString()], null);
}
In one of the loops i get this exceptional error:
Object of type 'System.DBNull' cannot be converted to type 'System.String'.
The error occurs because one of the fields in the database has no value (null), so the string property could not handle it. How can I convert this null to string? I'm trying to avoid checking on every loop is current value is null or not.
Remove A Null From A String?
Nov 4, 2009This should be simple but apparently it's not. I have a text file, 694 bytes. At byte 500 there's a null in the file. I've tried reading it as text and binary and I end up with a string, 694 bytes long. But anyting I do with this string fails because it appears to stop at character 500. I can do a ? asc(mystring.substring(549,1)) and I get 9 (tab). Print character 550 and I get 0. Print character 551 and I get 32 (space). How do I get rid of this null?

Pass The String As A NULL If Nothing Is Passed?

Because I'm firing the sproc and it's not firing the statement that says IF @MyString = NULL... So I don't know what it is... Or how can I pass the string as a NULL if nothing is passed as a parameter to my calling function?

Fixed String With Embedded Null Characters
Mar 26, 2010I am using a com object to maniplate data inside an external program using VB.NET. One of the methods this com object provides requires 1 string parameter.The external program, however, requires a sting of a specified length, regardless of the number of characters used. The string to be passed to the function (length 36) is a combination of the below key fields.[code]I have tried the VB6 compatability's VBFixedString type but the com object's method throws an exception due to a type mismatch.If I convert the VBFixedString back to a .NET string before passing it to the method, the first null character is again interpreted as a string terminator and the rest of my string is chopped.
