I have a string of bytes which I am reading from a microcontroller via a serial port which is as follows : 02 10 18 14 CB 73 43 D3 14 00 0D 00 09 00 1B 00 04 B8 3C 00 00 24 00 30 AB
I would like to write some code to place each the bytes into an array with each element of the array consisting of one byte each.
I have the following function,
Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("webdirect", New Object() {Company, LocationCode, CustomerNumber, OrderNumber, OrderRef, OrderDate, WebLines})
o_Company = CType(results(1),System.Nullable(Of Integer))
o_LocationCode = CType(results(2),String)
o_CustomerNumber = CType(results(3),String)
[Code] .....
So the return type of this function is a string, but I would like to get it back to its original form so I can access the individual sections i.e. o_LocationCode,o_CustomerNumber, etc how can I do that ?
Entire functions looks like this
Public Function webdirect(<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal Company As System.Nullable(Of Integer), <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal LocationCode As String, <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal CustomerNumber As String,
[Code] .....
Called like this
Dim returnArray As String
returnArray = client.webdirect(10, "123", "123", "123", "147", "2011-11-1", webLinesArray, 10, "", "", "", "", "", webRespArray)
No errors on run time but the string seems to be just blank, thats why i was wondering how I convert the string back to the array so I can access the individual elements.
I've got the following simple code to convert Bytes to a Hex string :-
Code:
Shared Function BytesToHex(ByVal bytes() As Byte) As String
If bytes Is Nothing Then Return ""
Dim S As String = BitConverter.ToString(bytes)
[Code].....
The HexToBytes routine obviously can take a lot longer to complete than the BytesToHex routine and is noticeably slower when dealing with a lot of data. As I'm converting a lot of hex strings back to bytes, I wondered if there was a more efficient way of doing it without looping through the whole string as I am doing?
Ive 2 buttons and 3 text boxes.Button 1 encrypts the data from textbox1 to bytes, converts it to string and display it in textbox2.Button 2 reads string from textbox2, converts it to bytes and decrypts it displaying it in textbox3 (textbox1 and 3 got to match).The encrypt/decrypt process works fine but the conversion from string to bytes is failing and cannot seem to find the problem. The error states that the string doesnt have the same format (Bytes(i) = Byte.Parse(Values(i))

This has to be incredibly simple, but I must not be looking in the right place.
I'm receiving this string via a FTDI usb connection:
'UUU'
I would like to receive this as a byte array of
[85,85,85]
In Python, this I would convert a string to a byte array like this: [ord(c) for c in 'UUU']
I've looked around, but haven't figured this out. How do I do this in Visual Basic?
[code]There are 5 matches every time. I have another function that needs to use each match but as a string, not an array. I usually just use the .ToString but it is not working.

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?
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
Next
my goal is to
1.Take an file(exe,dll,etc)
2.Convert it into hex
3.place that hex values in a stack
4.Execute the values inside the stack to its original form(i.e. take the elements out of stack and then convert it to a compile format)
Imports System.IO
Sub Main()
Dim fileName As String = "ABC.exe"

I am trying to convet the following code from C# to Vb using 3.5 framework.Here is the code in C# that I am having trouble with.MethodInfo mi = typeof(Page).GetMethod("LoadControl", new Type[2] { typeof(Type), typeof(object[]) });
I thought it would be like this in VB;Dim mi As MethodInfo = GetType(Page).GetMethod("LoadControl", New Type(2) {GetType(Type), GetType(Object())})
but I am getting the following error "array initializer is missing 1 elements"The other line that I am having trouble with and getting the same error is control = (Control) mi.Invoke(this.Page, new object[2] { ucType, null });

View 2 RepliesLet's say I have regular string called tempstring, and I want to change a specific item in that string. Like if tempstring = ";1;2;3" and I want to change the "2" to "Baboon." Here's my best solution on how to do it:
vb
Tempstring = ";1;2;3"
'Datasplit tempstring
Dim datasplit As String() = Tempstring.Split(New Char() {";"c})
[Code]....
This works, however, it feels a little heavy. Is there an easier way to do this? Perhaps a way to directly replace datasplits without readding them all to another string one by one using a loop?
I need to move bytes in byte array.
Dim data() As Byte = {&HE4, &H96, &HA3, &H47, &H42, &H4A, &H80, &H90}
I need to make so that the first two bytes would be deleted and the rest moved to the first one's for example:
Delete: E4, 96
Move: A3 and all the rest to the place where E4 was. (|A3 = 0|,|47 = 1| etc.)
In C++ it's possible to do it like that:
unsigned char data[]={0xE4, 0x96, 0xA3, 0x47, 0x42, 0x4A, 0x80, 0x90};
data+=2;
how to do this in VB.Net without making a new byte array and then using a loop to put the all bytes in that place - it would be too long and would use more resources.
How can I convert a string into an array?
The values are passed as a string:
Dim strInput as string
strInput = "Tom, John, Jason, Mike"
My error message is: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Array'
I have a string like this.
Dim str As String = "code"
I need to break this string down to an array of characters like this,
{"c", "o", "d", "e"}
How can I do this?
I am trying to do a conversion of a sting to an array name. I have a few arrays called "f2250", "f2255", "f2260" and so on. When a user enters say 2.50 into a textbox, the program needs to be able to reference the f2250 array. Now ive managed to sucessfully code the creation of the string ie "f2250(1)" (Ive added the (1) as a test to refrence an index). How can I use that string to now return the value that is in the array? Does the string need to be converted into something else?

I'm trying to convert a large array to a string, and then back into the array again after sending it over a network connection. No problems with that, but to keep my string as small as possible, I want to convert each array element into a single byte. I know that each element is going to contain a number no bigger than 100, so there will be no problems keeping them all 1 byte long. Problem is, I can't find the correct conversion commands. I think I should use 'Chr' to convert them into a string, but I can't work out how to convert that back into a number at the other end.
View 3 RepliesI want to convert an array of numbers to a string with a colon imbetween splitting it. I tried:
StringA = Join(Array(), ":")
I get the error: 'Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.'I seem to get this error alot in my programming but don't exactly know what causes it. Even if I can fix this error I heard that Join only works for string arrays so this wouldn't work anyway.
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

Okay I am working on a Voice Recognition Application that has a chat bot in it. When voice is recognized it converts the recognized string into an array and checks if the first or last value of the array is either computer or the Bot's Name. However, I am still very new to VB.NET only been programming in it for a few days. (I know ASP and VBscript really well though) When it goes through the check I get an exception how do I fix this? Here's my code with a comment on the line that it fails on:
Private Sub OnReco(ByVal StreamNumber As Integer, ByVal StreamPosition As Object, ByVal RecognitionType As SpeechRecognitionType, ByVal Result As ISpeechRecoResult) Handles RecoContext.Recognition
Dim recoResult As String = Result.PhraseInfo.GetText 'Create a new string, and assign the recognized text to it.

So, I'm creating an array of labels. I have labels set up as:
labal1
label2
label3
etc...
I've declared the array as such:
Dim labelArray(5) As Label
Now, instead of assigning the labels one by one to the array (labelArray(0) = label1, labelArray(1) = label2, etc...), I was hoping to use a loop (there will be more than 5 labels). I have something like this, which obviously doesn't quite work:
For i = 0 To labelArray(i) = "label" & i Next
Is there a function that I can use to convert the labelName string to an object, or have vb.net see that as an object instead of a string?

I have been looking for a way to convert bytes down into another unit and append the unit format to the end and return it. I have found a few posts about it but I didn't perticularly want to write that much code that they listed, so I designed "my own" (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this method).Since I am pretty new at all this, I was wondering if anyone could let me know if there are any problems with how it would process the information and perhaps make it faster.[code]
View 29 RepliesI have a function which does some processing. Lets name that function DoWork. This function takes some inputs as structure and a string. Now I want to start two threads which would read some elements in an array and then call DoWork with some data and value of that element. DoWork would do processing and thats it. I want two threads to run side by sid.
So I tried to write code but kinda failed. I wrote a function which starts a thread and calls DoWork. Now DoWork accepts structure and string etc. But when we do say abcthread = new threadig.thread(addressof <sub name>). here we cant pass any-value except object. That was first problem.
Anyway, main problem is after the thread has finished processing DoWork, how do I find that out and tell that thread to take another element from array and start again. This has to be managed for both the threads. I need to find out which thread has finished first and tell it to start again with another value. I have usually used one thread but not two in this way.
