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.
View 10 RepliesI'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.

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?
View 2 RepliesI'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?
View 2 RepliesI 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

I want help emergency for a project i have, I have to make a program to do hamming codes, since now i have done the part for converting a character that the user enters in a textbox to binary.This binary now is displayed in a textbox. So now i want to save this binary to an array
e.g i have this binary 10101110
CODE:
and so on .. how can i do it?
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.
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?

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?
Im working on a FTP Server (File Transfer Protocol) where i can download files.The problem occoured when i was about to download a 4BG large file from the server when i only had 3GB RAM on the server computer and the function to read the binary files was " data = File. ReadAllBytes("Files File001.7z") "... so how do i split the binary file into smaller byte blocks like 1MB?I've been trying this which seems to have been a total failure.[code]
View 11 RepliesI need to read a binary file. The Byte-Ordering in this file is different from the Intel-Standard. In good old FORTRAN I've used Equivalence-Statement in such cases (For example Defining a 4-Byte-Integer-variable and 4 Bytes at the same memory location / read the file as bytes / store them in the neccessary order / access the memory using the Integer-Variable). In VB dotnet I programmed a solution using shift-operators:

I must search a binary string for a pattern. This worked fine in VB6 using Get to read a file into a string and using InStr to search for the pattern. The conversion from VB6 to VB.NET changed Get to FileGet and warned of new behavior, but I don't see anything in the FileGet documentation about not being able to read 0 value bytes.
I don't mind at all changing to a new method, but ultimately I must get the data into a string rather than an array.

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.

Why does True (which commonly is referred to as an integer representation of 1) convert to 255 when casted to a byte?
I'm reading bytes from a serial port but need to convert them to signed, 8-bit integers (SByte).Unfortunately, the overflow checking in VB prevents a Byte value of 255 from becoming -1 in an SByte. So, essentially, I want to do the following:

I am sending data to some microchips with a serial port control using:
Code:
well, it work up to the value 9, but anything with more that one decimal place sends a byte value of the rightmost digit. So, 16 in the text box will send 6. Basically, it appears to be sending just 6, or 1 followed by 6. Is this how the serial port sends data...one digital at a time? Or, is the conversion to a byte failing?

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.

View 2 RepliesI was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.
