VS 2005 Structure To Byte Array For Socket Send
Aug 28, 2009
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.[code]

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?

I wish to write a structure made up of fixed length strings to a file using y.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes or the like.I am using a VB6 project with fixed length strings that I have converted in to VB.Net.

I 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've inherited a tested function that processes incoming data from a .NET Serial Port. (Dim RXBuffer as string = serialport1.ReadExisting) I've written a different part of the application that processes a byte array as received from an asynchronous .NET socket.
Is there a way I can convert the byte array into a string as if it arrived from the serial port?
I would prefer to rewrite a very long 'if statement' into byte array functions syntax that look like:
dim b as boolean = IsBitSet(state_buffer(i), j) 'rather than:
dim b as boolean = (Asc(Mid(RXPacket.Pdu, CInt((i - (i Mod 8)) / 8) + 1, 1)) And CInt(2 ^ (i Mod 8))) > 0

i'm developing a server application using vb.net and i'm facing a problem. in fact i have a huge data to send to the client via the socket so i use a loop to divide the data and send each part the problem is that when i proceed with the sending the socket send me only few peaces of the data and loose a big part of it. i tried to flush the buffer after each sending but i didn't find how to do it so i used a system.threading. thread sleep between each socket send. it works when i don't have huge data but it blocks my server when the number of packets increases. is there a solution that would replace the. sleep one without blocking the application?

I'm attempting to discard the contents of a System.Net.Sockets.Socket send buffer using theSocket.IOControl(IOControlCode.Flush, .... Does anybody know whether VB.NET supports this command? I've tried supplying 'Nothing' and 'Nothing' for both required parameters, also empty and populated byte arrays in combination with 'Nothing' for both required parameters, but I consistently get an 'Invalid argument' exception. I've tried a web search for an answer, but the only mention I've found was a question asked about 8 years ago, with still no answer.

Well... I'd like to ask you a question that makes me crazy...Could I create an array of structure and later delete a value from that?For Example I have a structure called "Examples". I create an array of structure and insert 3 values (whatever). Then, I want to delete the value in the position 2 (which real position is 1 [0, 1, 2]). Could I do that?

I'm writing a byte array to a file, but I want to prepend a string onto it. I'm not sure how. Here is my
Dim myString As String = "Header Text"
oFileStream = New System.IO.FileStream("output.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Create)
oFileStream.Write(barrCrypt, 0, barrCrypt.Length - 1)
barrCrypt contains the ByteArray. The contents of it will be stored in output.txt. How can I make myString show up as the first entry in output.txt, prepended to barrCrypt?

I am upgrading a project from VB6 to VB.NET. Unfortunately, I cannot include the DLL or even the name of the DLL that I am using here, I am under a confidentiality agreement. However, I hope I can post enough info here to get this frustrating problem solved.
In VB.net: Code:
So, if I run it as such, it errors out while calling SetParameters saying
The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))
If I comment out the line m_Parameters.SProperties = New S_Properties(9) {...}, then it does not error out, however the function returns 0, which means it did not actually set the parameters to the device. Trying to ReDim SParameters(9) will also give the hresult error. Doing it with my example above, I put a watch on m_Parameters in both VB6 and VB.net and they look IDENTICAL. All data is the same. Why would I get this ArgumentException in VB.NET and not in VB6 when I am passing in the exact same arguments as in VB6?

I have a simple byte array: Dim TheBuffer() As Byte={0,1,2,3} and I want to store it to a TEXT file. Is there any simple way of doing this? I want to enter the text file and see the array 0,1,2,3. don't want binary format etc.

I'm currently trying to make a vocabulary/flash-card program so I want an array that can store multiple values per item. That way I can shuffle the "cards" (array items) while keeping the word, definition, and part of speech on the same "card". So if I where to access the array I would want to be able to do something like this:
Dim vocabList as VocabArray
vocabList(0).Word = "blah"
vocabList(0).Definition = "blah"
vocabList(1).Definition = "blah"
And then if I where to re-arrange them the properties would remain together but just in a different spot of the array.I can get really close to this using an Item Structure and declaring the variable name with () but the problem is I have to include a number with () and I need to be able to add infinite values to the array, I can't have a set number.Also I would prefer to make it like an ArrayList as it has .Add, .RemoveAt, .Insert etc. In normal Arrays there's no easy way to add, you have to resize and stuff.
Anyways here's close to what I want, but I can't have a set amount and I'd prefer the ArrayList structure so I can just have like Array.Add and then have a Item added onto the end with 3 variables on it. The only thing is that with .Add you usually put something in paranthesis after it to denote the value to add, but if I have 3 possible values then I would have to have parameters for it or something, like .Add(Word, Definition).

Public Property1 as String

I am having trouble with a socket client application written in vb.net using Visual Studio 2005. The client connects to a C language socket server that is running on OpenVMS. The problem that I have is that when the server sends a packet, the client does not receive the last byte (of every packet!). I can dump the packets on the network and the data is all there. My current solution is to keep my socket messages short (247 bytes) and send one extra byte past the end of my data.
I would like to include more information in my messages and I cannot find a way to make this work. If I knew 100% how long the packets will be on the network, I could work around this by including an extra byte in just the right places. However, I don't want to make any assumptions about the length of the packets.
Here is a sample of my client receive code:
Private Sub ReceiveMsg()
Dim nTotalBytes As Integer
Dim nNumBytes As Integer

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 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 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:
