Binaryreader - Reading To End Of File?
Jan 14, 2010I have tried to create a method for writing information from an instance of a class to a binary file. The code works fine, the only problem is finding the end of the file. After it has read the last value that should be read, the basestream.Length is still higher than basestream.Position (by a random number)In my case I have created a class with two fields (name and birthday), one that is string and a date field. With my code, this should write 5 lines to the file (classname + nameofNameField + StringValue + nameOfBirthdayField + DateValue) When reading there's still more information in the file, when I have read the DateValue. Why? How do I find if it has read the end of the file?

Reading The .torrent File With The Use Of A BinaryReader?
Sep 15, 2011Im trying to create a bittorrent client, now I'm in the bencode decoder reading the .torrent file with the use of a BinaryReader(datos variable), when I'm reading the value of "pieces" of the "info" dictionary, but in some part of the value of "pieces" i can't read the bytes of them, therefore all of the rest bytes of the "pieces" don't be readed.
this is the code I'm using to read the value of "pieces"

View 1 RepliesReading Data From Excel Into VB 2008?
Mar 10, 2008I'm a new VB programmer, although I have a decent background in java.Anyways, I'm learning VB and I'm trying to read data from an Excel file using VB 2008 and can't figure out how to accomplish this. I can't seem to get any data from the Excel spreadsheet to display in a simple Windows form. Also, there's a decent amount of data in the spreadsheet so I was wondering if it makes sense to just read data as needed from the excel spreadsheet or if there was some type of data structure that I could import the entire Excel spreadsheet into and do my analysis from there.
View 1 RepliesVS 2008 : Reading Random Data From Xml?
Sep 25, 2009I am having some trouble thinking of a way to do this, what i have is an .xml file loaded and data read from it and used in my application, the thing is the data varies in each .xml for example:
vb.net
Dim XMLD As New Xml.XmlDocument
'// Find and load the XML file
XMLD.Load("Debug/xForm.xml")
[code]....
The fields vary on application execution, there maybe 5 fields with data one time, then 13 the next etc, if only 5 fields have been written to the xml and i load them all like above i get an error (because that data hasn't been written)is there a way to load the data dynamically based on how many fields have been written kinda thing?

Jul 28, 2009Is there a way to set BitConverter to produce Int32 values from BigEndian-encoded bytes?I feel like there might be a way to temporarily "set" the encoding to BigEndian before calling BitConverter, but I haven't figured it out.Right now I'm just reversing the 4 bytes before calling BitConverter, I guess I could create my own function that adds the bytes with the appropriate multiplier, but it seems a little inelegant if it can be done simply with BitConverter.

I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.

VS 2008 Reading Webpage Source And Filtering String Data?
Oct 28, 2009My program so far reads a certain webpage's source code and places it in a textbox. This much has already been accomplished.
Now I need to pick certain strings out of the rather large amount of text data and have the lines stored in variables, but the trick of it is, the exact string is unknown. The exact function should be, that the code finds certain tags from the source code, say <td> and </td> and takes the string data in between those tags, what ever it may be.

I want to display photos of people when the mouse passes over their name. I wanted to be able to size the picture box to be proportional to the various photographs and let the Stretch property handle the rest.I used the code above offered by John Wein to a question from 2009 to read the dimension of the picture It worked fine until I pass over the same person twice. Then I get an error that the file is in use by another process.I tried adding:
"BR.Close"
With and without
"BR.Dispose"
But the file is still locked-out on the second pass. I tried setting "PictureBox.Image = Nothing" when the mouse leaves the square, still the file is seen as in use and locked.

Data Binding - Update The Grid Data By Reading The Array
Apr 2, 2012Data binding should be an extremely simple thing to manage but I can't find a SIMPLE solution to the following problem.
I have two forms
Form1 contains a 4x4 MSFlexGrid (unfortunately an unmanaged COM object but I can merge cells, which I can't do with a managed Datagrid)
Form2 contains other controls which change the data in the Flexgrid.
I connect the two with a Public 4x4 array. Form2 changes the data in this array. I can update the grid data by reading the array. But how do I bind the Grid to the array so that it auto-updates - which is the whole point of binding isn't it?
