trying to find a decent answer for my question; I do have a utf8 file which I (down)load, manipulate and wanting to save back again.The result always is that the file I produce is not in utf8 format;
Dim fs2 As New FileStream("c: est.dat", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)
Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fs2, Encoding.UTF8)

I'm new to .net. I would like to know how to convert a text data in string or in a file into a simple byte array[ ] format.
View 3 RepliesMy application runs on a "server" machine and provides files (10megs - 100megs each) to 8 other computers. Currently this is done using a standard shared folder on all 8 computers and the server simply copies the file to \ComputerNameSharedFolder - and everything is great.However, due to new policies we need to remove all shared folders, so using a simple \ComputerNameSharedFolder is no longer feasible. Therefore I need to find a way for my application to be able to share these files in a safe, secure, and compliant way.There has been talk of using sFTP which would require each system to have an sFTP server running at all times (controlled by the application somehow), or also SSL was talked about as it can be integrated into the application easily, etc...

this along with a whole bunch of other text is saved to a text file...my question is how do I find the sting "HostA has address Y.Y.Y.Y" in that text file and then extract the IP address and assign it as a string variable?

View 5 RepliesSome binary files have application variables at the end if you open it with a text editor you can see these variables. Now when I read these files into the processor memory the program does not work properly, however if I read a file without this it works fine. So how can I read a byte[] array to EOF so that when I pass that byte array into win32 api create-process it will create the process without corrupting the program?

So far, I'm trying to send files using a tcp network. Unfortunately, for soem reason, tcp cannot send more than 9kb at a time, so when i tried to send a 30kb image, it recreated 1/3 of it. My fix to this problem was to send data by chunks of 8kb, then reconstruct the file chunk by chunk. For some reason, when I run the server and client, the client says it sends all the data, however the server seems to be stuck. Here is my 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.

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.
