VS 2008 : Converting A "binary String" Into A Byte Or Char?
May 23, 2010
I've been trying to figure this out for hours now, and I've given up on trying to solve it myself. Basically what I need to do, is convert a "double octet" binary string, such as "11010011 01011101", into a byte or char type if possible.I use the following code to convert my Unicode text into binary:
Private Function ByteToStr(ByVal bt() As Byte) As String
Dim st As New StringBuilder
For Each byt As Byte In bt
[code]....
But that gives me weird results. The "Convert.FromBase64String" obviously isn't what I'm after. Any help would be great. If I can convert the "binary string" into a bytes or chars I can get it into a string.

Is there a way to convert byte values to binary so i can read the values from the bits themselves? I have some byte whose values are 00 09 and I'd like to convert the values to bits to be like this : 0000 0000 0000 1001. Then I'd like to read the value of first 2 bits and the remaining 14 bits separately.

I can't seem to find how to recast a char to Ascii, the VB6 way was to ASC(thechar/thestring).What is the new method? or how to perform the recast while converting to a byte so it will fit and not buffer overrun.

I'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?

I am looking for something that will convert a byte array to a string and back, anything in-build that does it as this method would:
To string:
vb
Dim b = ByteArrSerialize(Obj, Compress, EncryptKey)
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each item In b
sb.Append(Chr(item))
Next
To byte:
vb
Dim b(0 To Len(TheString) - 1) As Byte
Dim bCount As Long = 0
For Each item In TheString
b(bCount) = Asc(item)
bCount += 1
Next

Can a LINQ or a LAMBDA expression be used to count the 1's in a binary string ?For example, if I convert a number to its BINARY using.>>
Dim binaryString As String = Convert.ToString( numberVariable, 2 )
1) Without using a loop such as a FOR NEXT loop, can I count the number of 1's in the STRING using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?
2) Can I get the indexes of where the 1's are at in a collection such as a LIST using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?I know the syntax of some LINQ expressions, however, I don't know which method may be suitable.

I have a language that generally contains serialised data messages in a human-readable format, but some productions within the language contain verbatim raw, binary data.My parser uses String for its buffer since that seems to be the easiest thing to work with. However the data is read from a network socket into an array of Byte.
Now, I'm trying to connect the dots between Byte() and String:
[Code]...
But my data is still mangled. I haven't actually been able to deduce yet precisely how the data is being mangled, but I do know that the length of the data is changing, indicating that the bytes are not being left verbatim.
So how can I obtain a String whose contents are just a verbatim copy of the bytes from my Bytes() input?

I am using the .NET Framework 2.0, and I am trying to code a client bot for a game called Minecraft, Originally written in Java, there have been quite a few people who have made custom multi-player servers for this game, Primarily in C#, or in a language that i've never heard of, such as Pascal.I'm looking right now at sending this:
Packet ID: 0x00 (0) As Byte
Protocol Version: 0x07(7) As byte
Username: "umby25" As String
[code].....
"Byte cannot be converted to 1-Dimensional array of byte"
I don't understand why this whole thing would work in all of the other programming languages, but not Visual basic.I have tried converting the string using the same method that one of the open source C# servers used, and it failed, telling me that the dictionary does not contain that or something.

I realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

I am working on a mini project that requires me to take a 8 byte hex string that I received from the Serial Port and convert it into a Byte Array and display it on the screen.An example of the string that I receive is 01050001FFFF8FFB
I am currently using the System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str) to help me achieve this. However I realised that if this does not support extended ASCII so whatever byte that is > 7F, I will not get the right value.My current code is as follows:
vb
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
Dim str As String

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.

My application is reading in data from the serial port. The packet format uses 1 byte to tell the data length. The problem is as I am reading each byte in as a char when I try to get the value of the received character (using Asc(cRxd)) it only works up to values of 127, any bytes received that are over 127 are received as 63. I noticed that this was the default parity replace value, but I have parity.none set and I also changed the parity replace value. The received byte is always 63. I have tried reading the data using .ReadByte but this gives the same result - only works on values below 128.

Some 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?
