in my datatable I've a String.Byte[] column which contains the array of bytes of an image. So, when the datatable is binded to the datagrid, I can see the picture, if present, and the red cross if is not presente. So I can remove the red cross, by assign a value to the DefaultValue property of the datacolumn. But what default value I've to assign?? I tried with system.dbnull.value but the red cross is still present.

I have a datatable which loads data from an Excel Spreadsheet. One of the columns in the Excel SpreadSheet was of type "Date/Time" in which date values are stored. Now I appended the datatable with three new rows and I wanted to store string values in these rows using the code below. However due to the fact that one of the columns are date/time type, an error is generated as date/time column does not accept string value. I have two questions
a. Is it possible to store string value in date/time DataColumn?
b. Is there a remedy to this situation? [code]
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.

View 1 RepliesI try to read the ID3 Info from a .mp3 file by reading bytes, and then i convert it to a string, and try to compare it to a string (that contains the same word(s)) but wasnt a byte stream beforehand anyhow ALL of my converted strings have a length of 31, regardless of if its a string that says "John" or a string that says "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" how can i make my converted string have the correct length? John = 4 NOT 31!!??

i am creating a currency converter in VB 2008. I have a two buttons to choose the currency � or $. When one is clicked the String � or $ is entered into my textbox. I need a backspace button. and i used this code.
tb_result.Text = tb_result.Text.Substring(0, tb_result.Text.Length - 1)
tb_result.text = my textbox.
It deletes the last string, but i want it to not delete the Currency($�).
I've tried CByte(hex) and Convert.ToByte(hex) neither work :/

"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.
i got byte() value as
'1111111111111111AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA1111111111111111'
i want it to reverse back to string,i don't know how to input back this string into byte() as it is
how to get byte from given string it should be something like this
'' input data
Dim str As String = "2D"
'' output data
Dim byte As Byte() = {&H2D}
If let's say I have the string "02 3A 00 00", how can I convert it to bytes (as in, I want the byte to be 02 3A 00 00)?
View 3 RepliesI have the following hex string 40 50 4C 41 59 0D I am transmitting to a piece of equipment, I need to calculate a checksum value to add to the string as the last byte to be sent. The checksum byte is generated in such a manner that the result of addition of all bytes of a message will become 11111111(255). the code that you see here does not work can anyone tell/show me why? Whats important is the checksum calculation.

hI want conver my string to byte array.
how to convert my string to byte array in vb.net?
I have string in {&HF3,&HA1,&H01}
i want to convert it to byte array like {&HF3,&HA1,&H01}
I have an activex control that outputs a template object to the client, which gets serialized to a byte array. My attempts to put this byte array in a hidden field for post back to the server have given mixed reults, in that the size of the byte array decreases when sent to the server. My best guess is that the byte array is being truncated when put into a (string) hidden field.
I convert the byte array to a HEX string on the client side before passing over to the server, then converting it back on the server - HEX to byte array. If found some examples of how to do this in C#, VB.net but I haven't a clue how to accomplish this on the client - vbscript, javascript, etc,
I'm guessing something like this would get it done on the server, but how would I accomplish this on the client side?
Private Function Bytes_To_String2(ByVal bytes_Input As Byte()) As String

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

I am trying to write a code that will byte swipe data in a string.
The conversion should take a 16 characters string, and swipe the first to characters with the last two, then characters three and four with character thirteen and fourteen and so on, in this format if the input string is
A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8 then the converted sting will be H8G7F6E5D4C3B2A1.

I'm trying to read a byte array into a string however it's array is filling up from a dll in the following format. [Code] now its decoding the first byte but I think because of the next [0] it's not completing the whole array. This is the code that I'm using:
Radiotext = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(szRetRDS)
I did think about writing it into another byte array excluding the [0] but unsure how I would go about this.
i tried saving the string 1995030 to file as byte as a hex value.Used the following lines to do this by hand:
Dim fs As New FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
fs.WriteByte(&H2D))
fs.WriteByte(&HB3)
fs.WriteByte(&H56)
This works as expected and everything is fine until this point.Now i tried to solve this problem by code.Tried the following:fs.writebyte(&H(str))Str contains the actual hex value to write.
I'm writing a C# application that reads data from an SQL database generated by VB6 code. The data is an array of Singles. I'm trying to convert them to a float[]
Below is the VB6 code that wrote the data in the database (cannot change this code):

strFilePath = "c: emp emp.tmp"
' Output the data to a temporary file

The problem here is the VB6 binary to string conversion. The VB6 string char is 2 bytes wide and I don't know how to transform this back to a binary format I can handle.
Below is a dump of the temp file that the VB6 code generates:
And here is the dump of the data as I read it from the database in (=the VB6 string):
I'm working on a licensing system for my application. I'd like to put all licensing information (licensee name, expiration date, and enabled features) into an object, encrypt that object with a private key, then represent the encrypted data as a single text string which I can send via email to my customers.
I've managed to get the encrypted data into a byte stream, but I don't know how to convert that byte stream into a text value -- something that contains no control characters or whitespace. Can anyone offer advice on how to do that? I've been researching the Encoding class, but I can't find a text-only encoding.
