VS 2010 Optimizing Byte Array To String Encoder
Feb 4, 2011
below is a byte array to string encoder. It uses the yEnc algorithm that is used for Usenet binaries (Usenet only supports text).
Doing a performance analysis in VS2010 shows that this is the most CPU intensive part of the application.
The encoder function is used thousands of times, so I'd like to optimize it as much as possible.
I'm using 'ReDim Preserve' instead of 'Take()ToArray', because I'm targeting .NET Framework 2.0. Is there a more efficient way of getting only a part of a byte array?
vb.net
'Values for yEnc Encoder
Public Structure EncoderValues
Public lChar As Byte

I'm using WinPcap to capture incoming data. Basically I'm dealing with a continuous stream of incoming data, either as byte array or as memorystream (pieces up to 64kb).
I need to check this data to see if there's a certain url and then extract it.
The url I need to find looks like this:http://201.122.38.5/data/today/798572987-589571?139805890582 The length of the 'code' after "/today/" is always the same. The IP address changes. What's the best/fastest/most efficient way to continuously check these byte arrays or memorystreams and extract the urls without hogging the CPU too much?

I'm trying to get a string from a byte array previously read from memory
i can get the string like this
dim mem as string= ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(memory) or dim mem as string= UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memory) but when i try to concatenate this with another string i get a strange result dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem & " problem string" no matter what comes after mem in the concatenation it seems like it is not there when in fact it is because when i try this (mem has two chars in it) dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem(0) & mem(1) & " problem string" problem string appears so what i assume is that there are some vbCrLf chars in the string after reading (or is it from the conversion?)

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.

I have an array defined As string and the value stored in site is like "7E", "A1" and so on. But in order to send out this array through serial port. I need to change the the array to As Byte instead of using As String. How can I convert it?

I try to read the ID3 Info from a .mp3 file by reading bytes, and then i convert it to a string, and try to compare it to a string (that contains the same word(s)) but wasnt a byte stream beforehand anyhow ALL of my converted strings have a length of 31, regardless of if its a string that says "John" or a string that says "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" how can i make my converted string have the correct length? John = 4 NOT 31!!??

I have an activex control that outputs a template object to the client, which gets serialized to a byte array. My attempts to put this byte array in a hidden field for post back to the server have given mixed reults, in that the size of the byte array decreases when sent to the server. My best guess is that the byte array is being truncated when put into a (string) hidden field.
I convert the byte array to a HEX string on the client side before passing over to the server, then converting it back on the server - HEX to byte array. If found some examples of how to do this in C#, VB.net but I haven't a clue how to accomplish this on the client - vbscript, javascript, etc,
I'm guessing something like this would get it done on the server, but how would I accomplish this on the client side?
Private Function Bytes_To_String2(ByVal bytes_Input As Byte()) As String
Dim strTemp As New StringBuilder(bytes_Input.Length * 2)
For Each b As Byte In bytes_Input

I m using encryption and decryption
When I use Return Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray()), I can decrypt data by first Convert.FromBase64String(stringToDecrypt) and it works fine.
But if I dont use Base64string method when returning the data and use .Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms.ToArray) and then try to decrypt, I get "Bad data" error

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'm trying to figure out how to convert a string inot a byte array to send as a packet over a socket. Initially it was used for serialport.write but I would like to use in
Socket.BeginSend(ByVal buffer() As Byte buildpacket()
Below is taking a struct (listed at bottom) as an argument and building a string using eg. Chr().
How can I convert the output of buildpacket(), eg. "yyyypyu" into a Byte().
Public Function buildpacket(ByVal packet As PacketRecord) As String
Dim temppacket As String
Dim checksum, i As Integer
'Build packet to Transmit
temppacket = Chr(255) & Chr(255) & Chr(255) & Chr(255) & Chr(254)

I'm trying to read a byte array into a string however it's array is filling up from a dll in the following format. [Code] now its decoding the first byte but I think because of the next [0] it's not completing the whole array. This is the code that I'm using:
Radiotext = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(szRetRDS)
I did think about writing it into another byte array excluding the [0] but unsure how I would go about this.

I'm writing a C# application that reads data from an SQL database generated by VB6 code. The data is an array of Singles. I'm trying to convert them to a float[]
Below is the VB6 code that wrote the data in the database (cannot change this code):
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
strFilePath = "c: emp emp.tmp"
' Output the data to a temporary file
[Code]....
The problem here is the VB6 binary to string conversion. The VB6 string char is 2 bytes wide and I don't know how to transform this back to a binary format I can handle.
Below is a dump of the temp file that the VB6 code generates:
And here is the dump of the data as I read it from the database in (=the VB6 string):

oFileStream = New System.IO.FileStream("output.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Create)
oFileStream.Write(barrCrypt, 0, barrCrypt.Length - 1)
barrCrypt contains the ByteArray. The contents of it will be stored in output.txt. How can I make myString show up as the first entry in output.txt, prepended to barrCrypt?

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?
