Returning Byte Array - Getting The Error On 'Return ImageData'?
May 11, 2011
I have the following function (in a WCF)
[code]...
Problem is, I'm getting the following error on 'Return ImageData':Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'.I've been playing with it, but can't seem to figure out what I need to do to ImageData.
I am creating a class that will represent a file and I am going to have lots of properties. Now I want the properties to return either a integer or a byte array. Is this possible or do I need to create 2 different properties one for the integer and one for the byte array? When I try I get. 'Public Property something As Integer' and 'Public Property something As Byte()' cannot overload each other because they differ only by return types.
Error Message Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and '1-dimensional array of Byte'.

I am trying to Convert a data field stored as IMAGE ( SQL Server 2000) using Java to a byte array using VB.NET Java uses signed numbers for a Byte array where as VB dosent. Can somone point me to how I can covert java byte array to VB byte array?
I have 2 byte arrays. I want to merge these two byte array into 1 byte array.Usually, I just create a new byte array with length = byte array #1 + byte array #2. Then copy byte array #1 and #2 to the new byte array.do I have more efficient way to merge 2 byte array using VB.NET and .Net 4?
I would like to create a function so that I can pass a string and it will return me the binary value, I will use this later in other parts of the script but I am getting an error that I don't understand.
Private Function ConvertToMD5(ByVal OldPassword As String) As Byte Dim NewPassword As String = "" 'The string we wish to encrypt

On the "Return hashedDataBytes I get "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'"
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.
given my code below, I'm trying to figure out how to create an array of 1 byte containing 7 bits. So the byte in the array would contain 0111111 to correspond to mData_Out's boolean values. How would I change the following code? [Code]
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.
Trying to upload a picture file from an online source and store it in a byte array but am having the error: "Number of Indices is less than the number of dimensions in the indexed array".

I have some code I inherited which has a lot of warnings that I would like to get removed. Many are of the form Property '<propertyname>' doesn't return a value on all code paths. I know why it is saying this, I'm just trying to determine what the correct 0 impact way of fixing this is.[code]Unfortuantely if I put this in my code (having changed the local variable name to avoid collisions) it then complains that it is being used before it has been assigned a value.Try to analyze IL in LinqPad (not sure if this is a good test or not) reveals that the empty method is the same as the above that Reflector gave me but it is different from return Nothing and return "".What can I use to get rid of this warning while guaranteeing the code runs 100% the same? [code]I'm not sure what ldloc.0 does here. I'm wondering if it is trying to get something from a register which will be null and if that is therefore the same as ldnull in this situation but I havent' ever really studied IL much before...
I've just been burned again by the fact that there is no compiler warning when you fail to return a result in a Function that returns a Value type. I wrote the function:
Public Function CompareTo(ByVal other As MessageIndex) As Integer Implements System.IComparable(Of MessageIndex).CompareTo Me._messageIndex.CompareTo(other._messageIndex) End Function
which performs the CompareTo Function for two integers, then throws the result away and returns 0, because I forgot to either assign a value to CompareTo, or use Return, and that isn't flagged by the compiler because it's valid VB for a Value type.
I happen never to use "FunctionName = ReturnValue" because it hides information from maintenance programmers and also because I think it's insane .
Is there any way I can get the compiler to issue a warning whenever my Functions are missing a Return, whether it's a Value type or not?
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]..
is there is any direct method or function in array class that can check if any given byte array is a subarray of other array?or should i loop through the each byte of main array to see if smaller array exists in that or not?
given the following Sub, how would I initialize byte array 'temp'to zeros and give it the length of the incoming byte array passed into the subroutine?
Sub ReceivePacket(ByVal buffer As Byte()) Dim temp() As Byte 'initialize to zeros and length of buffer temp = buffer.Skip(17).ToArray() End Sub
I have an array defined As string and the value stored in site is like "7E", "A1" and so on. But in order to send out this array through serial port. I need to change the the array to As Byte instead of using As String. How can I convert it?
The following image or RTF file illustrates how I'm trying to transform an input Byte array into an output array of Booleans. This is basically what I have listed below. figure out how to get from one array to the next while shifting values of bytes within 8 byte groupings to shift low order to high order or vica versa. What I mean by that is best seen by looking at the illustration of actual input an required output. The reason for this is that the hardware devices have registers and the display which can be seen in the links above needs to convey the disabled sensor cable cell locations.
The code below contains the actual data I receive as input and the required output to send to a hardware device. The application requires incoming boolean values be processed in sets of 8, corresponding to their resultant Byte value. The first incoming boolean value must assume the least significant position of the resultant Byte Value. False, False, True, True, True, True, True, True will result in a Byte Value of 252 if viewing the resultant Byte value in the debugger. Those boolean values will be reversed in order to become True, True, True, True, True, True, False, False. What I can't figure out below is how to accomplish this in the form of masking or shifting the values to accomplish this.

if label1 = RF350022 label2 = Increase label3 = spring label4 = 100%
only if it contains all of these words it should return the first instance (row3) then end or null the rest (row4).how can i get row 3 to show in message box now it has been found?
