I have a byte array with contents from a file in it, but I want to trim / remove the first element from it [byte(0)]. I've searched for days and experimented with a hundred different methods but they don't work.
is there is any direct method or function in array class that can check if any given byte array is a subarray of other array?or should i loop through the each byte of main array to see if smaller array exists in that or not?
I am trying to Convert a data field stored as IMAGE ( SQL Server 2000) using Java to a byte array using VB.NET Java uses signed numbers for a Byte array where as VB dosent. Can somone point me to how I can covert java byte array to VB byte array?
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 would like to create a function so that I can pass a string and it will return me the binary value, I will use this later in other parts of the script but I am getting an error that I don't understand.
Private Function ConvertToMD5(ByVal OldPassword As String) As Byte Dim NewPassword As String = "" 'The string we wish to encrypt
[code]....
On the "Return hashedDataBytes I get "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'"
i have a byte array in my code which contains hex values which is readed from a bin file. now what i want to do is cut this array into equal size of 4096 bytes and made new array,s at run time and assign first (4096) byte,s to first array and so own
Coming up against a brick wall with sending items over the network using sockets. I'm using Chilkat rather than the built in TCP Client / listener but thats not the issue. From point a I send through a string converted to base64 as below
I need to explicitly convert my byte array into IntPtr to pass it to the third-party api. I've been looking through Runtime.InteropServices namespace but didn't find anything suitable.
Is there any way using existing .NET framework classes/methods that you can sequentially read a byte array? I dont mean just using a for loop to loop through from the beginning to the end, I mean having the kind of methods that you have when working with an IO.Stream subclass, such as ReadByte. I thought I would just be able to construct a new IO.Stream class and pass it in a byte array but it seems that Stream is just for inheriting and cannot actually be used itself. I could implement my own class that just has an internal position counter and a byte array and then each time you call ReadByte on that it advances the position and returns the byte at that index... but it seems odd to have to implement such a basic thing myself.
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 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.
given my code below, I'm trying to figure out how to create an array of 1 byte containing 7 bits. So the byte in the array would contain 0111111 to correspond to mData_Out's boolean values. How would I change the following code? [Code]
I have found a lot of examples of this kind of thing on the web but cannot get one that works - basically i am serializing to a byte array and want to store it in a string i have tried all of the System.Text.** (ASCIIEncoding,UTF32Encoding,UTF7Encoding and UTF8Encoding) in the following way:
i've created a new access 2007 database + added a OLE Object field, that i've then pasted images into.
in vb2008 i've connected to the database + put the table into a datatable. so far it works ok.
when i try to convert the byte array to an image, it causes an error:
'A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll'
heres the code i'm using:
vb
Dim arr() As Byte = DirectCast(record.Item(5), Byte()) pic.Image = Image.FromStream(New IO.MemoryStream(arr))
its loading the byte array properly, but the Image.FromStream line causes the error. i've used this method before with an earlier access database + it works.
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.
I have a string:*Local Disk*:Users*UserName*DirectoryTestFile.txtand im trying to get rid of everything behind the "Test" so it would show everything after.so the string would look like:TestFile.txtno matter how many directories and/or files come after the Test. I just want to get rid of everything behind it.
I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))
I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
given the following Sub, how would I initialize byte array 'temp'to zeros and give it the length of the incoming byte array passed into the subroutine?
Sub ReceivePacket(ByVal buffer As Byte()) Dim temp() As Byte 'initialize to zeros and length of buffer temp = buffer.Skip(17).ToArray() End Sub
