Getting And Setting Single Bits In A Byte-array Using .net?

Jul 5, 2011

I have a byte array with 512 Elements and need to get and set a single bit of a byte in this array.The operation must not change any other bits, only the specified one.So if I have a byte like &B00110011 and would like to change the third bit to 1 it should be &B00110111.

Like this:Dim myarray(511) as byte myarray(3).2 = 1 ---> This would change the third bit (start counting at 0) of the third byte to 1 I know it should be easily possible using bit-masking but I don't have the time to try for days to get it working.

.net :: Storing 4 Bits From A Byte?

Aug 19, 2010

What is the best way to store 4 bits from a byte in VB.Net? Where best means:Most straightforward method of storage from a Byte type.The easiest to work with while performing bitwise operations.Straightforward conversion of the bits to other types.Storing them in a BitArray via it's constructor reverses the order of the bits. This means that attempting to get the value of the first bit will require looking for that value in the last entry in the BitArray.

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:

Calculate The Lower 7 Bits And 7-13 Bits Of Two Hex Numbers?

Apr 8, 2011

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the lower 7 bits and 7-13 bits of two hex numbers.

Here is some example c code, just need this in vb.net:

serialBytes[2] = 0x64 & 0x7F; // Second byte holds the lower 7 bits of target.
serialBytes[3] = (0x64 >> 7) & 0x7F; // Third data byte holds the bits 7-13 of target

The 0x7F is a constant so the only number that changes based off input is the 0x64.

Setting A BIT In A BYTE

Feb 1, 2010

I think the way to do this in VBnet involves binary math? -- no "easy" way I don't think (like picbasic mybyte.0 = 1 mybyte.1 = 0 etc).I know you can read a bit by using convert.toint32 (2^0) (2^1) etc. and comparing to an integer value but my head is going in circles on how to set (write) a bit value. I need bytes because I intend on writing to the serial port.If bit0 is 1 then mybyte bit 0 = 1.

Byte Conversion To Single Number

Aug 4, 2010

I am totally new with VB.NET. I have started coding for Modbus protocol. The response that I receive from the slave is as below -

01 = byte slave id
03 = byte function code
04 = byte -no. of bytes sent by slave
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register LSB)
64 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register LSB)
2bytes for crc

Now I want the value of 64 00 00 00 into floating point number in Vb.net . I think in vb.net its single as its 32bit floating precision number. Now the bytes that I need are 00 64 00 00 but if i process in this way the output is different, so I tried manually putting the data into the byte array and found out that I need 64 00 00 00 to be processed so that i can get desired output.

Takes A Single Byte As An Argument?

Dec 4, 2009

Ok, this is going to be a bit bizarre, but I'm looking for something strange, so all suggestions are welcome:I have a function that takes a single byte as an argument. From that byte, without using any random function, I need to create two other random bytes. I specifically cannot use the Random object, but fortunately, the other bytes do not need to be random relative to the argument. Also, the argument is random.

Therefore, one other byte can be created by XORing with &HFF, which will create the inverse of the argument. Since the argument is random, the inverse is also random. I need one other technique that will create that last pseudo-random byte. I thought about bit shifting, but that results in something quite a bit less than random (it will be biased high or low, depending on the bit shifting).

One possibility that I am trying is to use CByte(100000/arg). Does anybody have any other suggestions?

EDIT: The result of that equation for all values of the argument is a very interesting pattern. It will probably be fine, but I'd still take suggestions.

Object Array To Byte Array - Marshal.AllocHGlobal Fragmentation Query?

Jun 14, 2011

I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.

In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:

Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)

I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)

*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:

Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))

I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
