Modify Few Byte In A File Via A Stream Does That Means That Full File Is Rewritten?
Jun 9, 2010
If i use a stream to modify few bytes in a file without changing the total number of bytes
does the stream rewrite all the file even if just few bytes have been replaced?

How to convert memorystream byte array to csv file. I have GetExport method that converts rpt file to excelformatted memorystream and then returns that as a byte array. Is there a way to convert this byte array to a csv file? Due to some reasons I can only pass this byte array back to calling function.
Public Function GetExport(ByVal reportID As ReportID) As Byte()
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Nothing
Using expRptDoc As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
Dim rptFileName As String = Server.MapPath(ReportCommand.GetXMLReportPath(reportID))
expRptDoc.Load(rptFileName)

I just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I
1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and
2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Net.Sockets

I don't know whether it is simple or not because i am new to programming. my requirement is : In my vb.net winform application, the filenames of the files present in "D:Project" willbe displayed in DataGridView1 control. Now I want to load these files one after another into memory stream buffer and add the headers("ID","Name","Class") to the content in the file. Then I want to save these files in "C:" with "_de" as suufix to the filename i.e.,sample_de.csv.

I am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!

i am making a game in which the file stream gets a certain file(lets say a.txt) and it reads it, if it has certain values stored in the file it returns boolean(this is a function), then a sub procedure writes to the file using a streamwriter and a filestream using the same file. I am having problems, sometimes visual basic says that another process is using the file, this is before i closed the filestreams and the streamwriter or streamreader, then it gives me errors when i close the files, it tells me that it can't access a file that is already closed, i thought the filestream gets the file and lets the streamreader or streamwriter read or write to the filefound out the problem?

I'm writing some text to a memory stream and need to modify it once in the memory stream The reason I can't modify prior to adding to the memory stream is that it is from some 3rd party component. Here is an example:ms = New MemoryStreamdoc.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Html)I need to do some modification to the resulting text that ends up in ms. Is there a way to convert the contents of ms into a string, and then back into a memory stream once modified?

When I look at a file on my hard disk, e.g. test.csv, when I look at the Properties of the file, it is officially known as, "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File", and file types of .pdf are listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document", etc. etc. All of this information can be seen in Windows Explorer too when my folders are displayed by Details. How do you get at this "type of file" information with .NET?

I have an .net application with 2 processes, communicating using a network stream.The protocol consists of a set of commands, some with parameters, which are sent through the stream to the server. The server processes the command, and sends a response.
The protocol for one of the commands looks like this:
[code]...
Usually, this works fine. Very rarely (probably once every few millions of calls), The reading side gets the wrong values. I added code to trace the values sent and received. This shows that occasionally, the reading side gets two extra bytes, with the value 0, which was not sent by the writing side. These extra bytes appear in different places, e.g. in one case they were between i1 and i2; in another they were between the first and second byte of s2. Does anyone have any idea where these 2 bytes could come from? I checked my code, and every place that writes to the stream is traced, so it doesn't look like they are actually written to the stream. It might be worth noting that s1 is always 0, in the current implementation.

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.

I have (with help from you) got 'full' control of Canon image capture and processing with feature recognition, and USB cam capture including frame modification on the fly. I now want to read an avi file and modify it on the run. I have found several C# and C++ routines as a good basis, (Especially the steganography example) if only I could successfully convert them. Unless I understand what I am doing wrong I don't stand a chance. So - start with the absolute basic Open/Close avi - This fails - Protected

I am sending data to server via TCP IP Connection. I am using a continuous loop at the server end - that accepts new clients and while streams can be read, it reads data stream.
The data is sent from the client with 2 leading bytes of data that represent the size of the packet of data sent and type of data.
My question is: how do I retrieve the size of the data packet and then check that this amount of data has been retrieved?

I need to read signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit values from a file stream which may be little-endian or big-endian (it happens to be a tiff file which carries the byte order indicator at the start).I initially started by writing my own functions to read the values and was able to do so for unsigned values. e.g.
Public Function ReadUInt32() As UInt32
Dim b(4) As Byte
input.Read(b, 0, 4)
[code]....
But then I started looking at signed values and my brain broke.As an alternative, I found the IO.BinaryReader which will let me read signed values directly but doesn't seem to have any way to indicate that the data is big-endian or little-endian.Is there a nice way of handling this? Failing that, can someone tell me how to convert multiple bytes into signed values (in both byte orders)?

I have a CSV file with many rows in which I need to update/replace column four's value using VB.NET. There are no headers on the columns so the loop can start on row one.
infile.csv
"value1","value2","value3","value4"
After much googling, there are lots of examples on how to read and write CSV files, but none quite what is needed. I know there are multiple ways to accomplish this task, but a requirement is that it's done with VB.NET.tFinal code ported from Marco's C# answerPrivate Sub CSVmod(ByVal strFileName As String, ByVal newFileName As String)
Dim strLines As String() = File.ReadAllLines(strFileName)
Dim strList As New List(Of String)
Dim strReplace As String = "test"

I have an application using Visual Basic 2010 Express. Basically I load an XML file into a datagrid and then wish to modify it. Now the following code works fine:
Private Sub Modify_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Modify.Click
Dim da As New XmlDataDocument
da.Load(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "/events.xml")
Dim path1 As String = "/calendar/event/title[text()='" & DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value.ToString & "']"
Dim path2 As String = "/calendar/event/text[text()='" & DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(1).Value.ToString & "']"
[Code] .....
Now the modify button does what it is intended to do as far as load the "title" and the "text" elements into the text boxes. However I want to load the other attributes into the text box. I.E. date, timeStart, timeFinish etc. Also, the just of this is to be able to modify an xml file without going into the xml file using a text editor.
