VS 2010 - Properties To Return Either Integer Or Byte Array
Feb 24, 2011
I am creating a class that will represent a file and I am going to have lots of properties. Now I want the properties to return either a integer or a byte array. Is this possible or do I need to create 2 different properties one for the integer and one for the byte array? When I try I get. 'Public Property something As Integer' and 'Public Property something As Byte()' cannot overload each other because they differ only by return types.
I am new to vb net so please cut me some slack if this is a stupid question, I have always used vb6 before, but finding that its less and less supported so trying to learn vb.net by myself. Also I am doing this for a hobby not a profession.I am writing an Console application to read a file sequentially 1 byte at a time into a 1 byte buffer. It then copies that byte into a 4 byte lookup buffer, that moves, ie as the file pointer moves forward by one byte the 4 byte lookup buffer copies the last 3 bytes into the first 3 bytes to accept the byte at the file pointer into the 4th byte of the lookup buffer. I am doing 1 byte at a time because the data I am looking for is not at pre-determind offsets and filesizes may not be a multiple of 4.
[Code]...
Help please its driving me mad It appears as if the byte is not being transferred to the lookup buffer so that it would always be 0, either that or I am not converting it to an integer properly
I have a very simple question about converting a byte array into 16bit integers. I am connected to a device through a serial port. It sent me six bytes which represent three Int16 integers. For example, the byte array is called newRecievedData(5) and has a length of 6.
The manual that came with the device claims that the int Format is 8 bit MSB|8 bit LSB. Does that mean the following?
newRecievedData(0) contains 8 high bits of the first Int16 newRecievedData(1) contains 8 low bits of the first Int16 newRecievedData(2) contains 8 high bits of the second Int16

but VB.NET Express 2008 gives me the error that Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Short'.
I have used the following code to read a memory address from a pointer and offset previously however, Now I've come to use it again and can't figure out how I got it working last time, I'm receiving the error "value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to integer" highlighting the BytesAtAddress variable in the ReadProcessMemory calls.
Public Shared Function ReadPointerFromMemory(ByVal BaseAddress As Integer, ByVal PointerOffset As Integer, ByVal BytesToRead As Integer, ByVal pHandle As IntPtr) As Integer Dim BytesAtAddress As Byte() = New Byte(BytesToRead - 1) {}
At the top of the code that follows is the method in c# into which I'm attempting to pass an integer value. Is there anyway I can change the assignment statement to the byte() PDUToSend to take care of the error I currently receive; Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.
Problem is, I'm getting the following error on 'Return ImageData':Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'.I've been playing with it, but can't seem to figure out what I need to do to ImageData.
I have read a byte array called compressed_byte_array() from a file. This array is compressed using the zlib compression Deflate (RFC1951).
How would I decompress this array and store it in another array, let's say decompressed_byte_array(). I probably have to use DeflateStream and I have tried a few methods, but always ending up with a error message.
Public Function AESEncrypt(ByVal PlainText As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal salt As String) Dim HashAlgorithm As String = "SHA1" 'Can be SHA1 or MD5 Dim PasswordIterations As String = 2 Dim InitialVector As String = "CanEncryption123" 'This should be a string of 16 ASCII characters. Dim KeySize As Integer = 256 'Can be 128, 192, or 256. [Code] .....
What I am after is this: Rather than having a string to encrypt/decrypt, I have a byte array.
I have a byte array and I want to read it using a structure. This is a common situation with structured files having information in various places in the file and it's much easier to read the data if it's mapped with a structure. BitConverter would be great if it worked with Structures, but it doesn't. Basically, I want to read the same memory address either as a byte array or as a structure, or have a function that works like vb.net MyStructure = BitConverter.ToStructure(bytearray(), position) Maybe there's a pointer method to do this?
I think I need a two dimensional byte array I currently have something like this:
Dim MbyteData(196608) As Byte ' Open the file that is to be loaded into a byte array Dim oFile As System.IO.FileInfo oFile = New System.IO.FileInfo(sFilePath)
[code]....
I now need to load several files at once (say four) so I need four arrays of 196608 bytes and I want to reference them by a number - 0 to 3, assuming the array is zero based. If I use Dim MbyteData(196608, 3) as byte or Dim MbyteData(3, 196608) as byte the syntax seems to be correct but I hit an error ("Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array") when I try to add the extra dimension to the stream read with something like oFileStream.Read(MbyteData(index), 0, MiByteCount).
and i need to convert the image into a text.now anyone thinking that i can just use ocr is unfortunatly wrong i have tried about 5 of them and they dont work because the text in the image is to small for it to recognise it.so i need to search the above image for a smaller image such as this.so by doing this if i get a result saying true then i will be able to go from be there and convert to text.now i know of two way to search an image for a smaller image. first is by going by pixel search and well i can get that to work but it is to slow.the second method is to convert the image to a byte array(beig an image it will be a 2d byte array) and convert the other image to a byte array and then compare.
I have a text box that I will paste into a byte array, for example: 02 01 05 BF DD 03 All I need to do is when I click on a button, for the program to take the length of the array and store it in RCVDMSG_Length() and then take the contents of the text box and put it into a byte array RCVDMSG(). From there I think I can figure out how to manipulate the array... but it's this first step that I'm stuck on....
So far I have this in my Form: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim RCVDMSG() As Byte Dim RCVDMSG_Length() As Integer RCVDMSG_Length = Len(TextBox1.Text)
Im trying to query a game server, and have been looking up what to send and so on...This is what they say:Quote:Request formatServer info can be requested by sending the following byte values in a UDP packet to the server.

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?
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?

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'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 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.

On the "Return hashedDataBytes I get "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'"
if a byte value can go up to 255 and two bytes are used to determine the length of packet payload data, how would I convert the two bytes to create one integer value?
State.buffer[13] = 5 and State.buffer[14] = 67 Dim PacketLengthHigh As Integer = state.buffer(13) Dim PacketLengthLow As Integer = state.buffer(14)
