Is there any special way of reading a pdf file into a byte array? The reason I ask...I want to fax a pdf file using faxDocument and FaxServer. My current code is working fine for everything else. Now I know that in the documention it says it should not work for pdf. But I can get some pdfs to send and some do not. When I fax a pdf through windows, it works. [code]....
View 5 RepliesHow do I read a raw byte array from any file, and write that byte array back into a new file?
View 3 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?

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.

View 3 RepliesI have a byte array and I want to read it using a structure. This is a common situation with structured files having information in various places in the file and it's much easier to read the data if it's mapped with a structure. BitConverter would be great if it worked with Structures, but it doesn't. Basically, I want to read the same memory address either as a byte array or as a structure, or have a function that works like
vb.net
MyStructure = BitConverter.ToStructure(bytearray(), position)
Maybe there's a pointer method to do this?

I'm trying to get a string from a byte array previously read from memory
i can get the string like this
dim mem as string= ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(memory) or dim mem as string= UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memory) but when i try to concatenate this with another string i get a strange result dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem & " problem string" no matter what comes after mem in the concatenation it seems like it is not there when in fact it is because when i try this (mem has two chars in it) dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem(0) & mem(1) & " problem string" problem string appears so what i assume is that there are some vbCrLf chars in the string after reading (or is it from the conversion?)

My fix to this problem was to send data by chunks of 8kb, then reconstruct the file chunk by chunk.
