Truncating Data Types From Int To Byte, Transferring 8 LSBs To The Byte?
May 16, 2011
Is it possible in VB to truncate a larger data type ( an int with a value greater than 255) to a smaller one, say a Byte (which only goes up to 255) in a way such that the 8LSBs of the integer are copied to the newly created byte. I have tried this using CType with the following code, however it does not work.
Dim TestByte As Byte = CType(Test, Byte)
Where the variable "Test" is an integer with a value of 419. This code always results in the Overflow exception.
I create my algorthm and its finished but there is a problem, it encrypte all text and all text in a file but after decryption when i open my file (a video file)the player show all information about file(duration,size and ect) currectly but it dont play that my program encrypt and decrypt byte by byte and place a asci code in bytes(0 to 255)
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?
during some code conversion from another persons VB.net project to C#, i have come across the following code:
[Code]...
Now m trying to convert this to C#, but im a little confused as to exactly the meaning of this line:
If lbytRelayStateMask And (2 ^ lintCounter) Then It appears there something going on behind the scenes (that ill have to examine further) however before i do i would just like to clarify the result of this if statement. Am i correct in saying if either one of the sub-expressions equals zero then its false, otherwise its true? Sorry, im not too up to speed on VB.net.
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
[code]....
On the "Return hashedDataBytes I get "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'"
i try to put picture in mysql with vb.net, first i convert with this function : [code] i try to use that function for storing picture to mysql database : INSERT INTO myImage (image) VALUES ('" & convertImage(PictureBox1.image) & "');and then i have this error : Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and '1-dimensional array of Byte'i create a table (myImage) with image field (LongBlob)
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 would like to know how to convert a unisgned byte to signed byte
Atm I got this
a Function readSignedByte() As SByte '-128/127 Dim b As SByte
[Code]....
it doesn't work one that well works for numbers positive over 127 if lets say ReadByte() has 128 it would give overflow error which I don't want it to give I would like it to overflow the number to negivate value aka its signed value.
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 write some code to get a kinect for windows sample running, which is originally written in C#. I get stuck with translating the following C# code to VB.NET:
byte intensity = (byte)(~(realDepth >> 4));
What is the VB.NET equivalent for the code above? how to translate the "~" code sign.
Error Message Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and '1-dimensional array of Byte'.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim fileSize As Integer Dim rawData() As Byte
Operator '+' is not defined for types '1-dimensional array of Byte' and 'Byte'.How would I change the assignment statement in the code below so that each indexed byte position gets assigned the converted integer value in the for loop?
Dim byteArray As Byte() Property Data_Out() As Integer() Get[code].....
i have a table in sql server with some fields set as Byte() (System.Byte[]) when i import them in my application to be used with linq they are converted in Binary (System.Data.Linq.Binary)why is that?is there a way to prevent this wrong translaton???if i update the database how can i update the classes that has been craeted in visual studio2008?
if a byte value can go up to 255 and two bytes are used to determine the length of packet payload data, how would I convert the two bytes to create one integer value?
State.buffer[13] = 5 and State.buffer[14] = 67 Dim PacketLengthHigh As Integer = state.buffer(13) Dim PacketLengthLow As Integer = state.buffer(14)
I don't understand that error that occurs on the second line of code below. I'm trying to skip over the first 18 bytes of a byte array that I'm accessing from a c# dll into a local vb.net byte array
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?
Try to store hex value D9 to byte variable. Dim x As Byte x = encText.GetBytes(&HD9) When Debug.Print for check, answer show hex 83 (decimal 131). Why it cannot store correct hex value?
I'm writing a C# application that reads data from an SQL database generated by VB6 code. The data is an array of Singles. I'm trying to convert them to a float[]
Below is the VB6 code that wrote the data in the database (cannot change this code):
Set fso = New FileSystemObject strFilePath = "c: emp emp.tmp" ' Output the data to a temporary file
[Code]....
The problem here is the VB6 binary to string conversion. The VB6 string char is 2 bytes wide and I don't know how to transform this back to a binary format I can handle.
Below is a dump of the temp file that the VB6 code generates:
And here is the dump of the data as I read it from the database in (=the VB6 string):
I am using following code to get data from database and load to picture box
Dim vrPicFromDB = IO.File.ReadAllBytes(DsPic.tblPicTest.Item("Picture")) Dim ms As New MemoryStream(vrPicFromDB) PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
It gives error on DsPic.tblPicTest.Item("Picture")) portion of the statement. I also tried
