I have tried all of the encodings in the System.Text.Encoding package with no luck. I thought I had it with UTF7 but it was dropping other characters like replacing the + sign with a space.
I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.

Years ago when coding with VB6 and earlier, I used a file open command to create, read, and write a file that made it easy to store useful information.I believe it was binary and you wrote/read the data to a specific line in the file. When you opened the file with something like notepad, it just showed random ascii chars. When I needed a line of data, I could specify what line to load it from.
View 2 RepliesCan someone give me a reference in using ASCII in VB2010. Is this code correct? "txtText.text = txtText.text & txtNewText & chr(13)".Im trying to accomplish here is, I have two text box. Once I entered a text in txtNewText the text is added in the other text box (txtText.text) without deleting the previous text. But i want the new text to be at the next line. That is why I use the "chr(13)" code.

View 6 RepliesThis has been driving me crazy for two weeks! I just started learning Vb.net, so please forgive me if I make rookie mistakes. Basically, I would like to convert any type of file to Ascii code. An mp3, .wav, .avi etc. The most I was able to do is convert only the first character of the file to Ascii. Also, I'm not sure what would be the fastest method to do this. SteamReader, FileStream, or BinaryReader. Can anyone explain what method would be best? This is what I have so far:

View 8 RepliesSo I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?

I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct question to be asked but I will tell you what I am attempting. I have an ASCII txt file with product data in it. It does not have headers. I am looking for a way to convert this data into an XML file, however, I want it to parse through one of the txt fields to incorporate a look-up field and modify the data based on that field. Now I could use VB.NET, C# or Javascript. Example provided:

I've created a simple dll with VB.NET for a web application, which opens a SaveDialog and write some ASCII-signs to a txt-file. It is working fine in XP.

View 8 RepliesSo I'm using a plain TextBox to display output from an ongoing background process. I've created a 'report string' that displays in my textbox like it has 3 columns; there's a VariableName, a VariableValue, and a VariableEffect (showing how applying that variable to the process affected it).In my textbox, any VariableValue entry that has 17 or greater characters gets 1 tabstop between Value and Effect; any entry 16 or less gets 2 tabstops, and any value 7 or less gets 3 tabstops which very neatly lines up the 3 columns.
View 5 RepliesSimple question, what would be the optimum code in VB2010 to read in a text file and verify that:1) It is a text file, and2) There are no non-ASCII characters anywhereAnd conversely, we would want the code to provide a warning if the file is not a text file, or if the text file contains non-ASCII characters. [Note that LF, CR and EOF are expected to be in the text file, and should not be flagged as errors]
View 1 RepliesI'm using IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName) to read all lines from text file to array of strings at once. Problem is, text lines include ANSI characters above ASCII value 127 (Scandinavian letters e.g. " (Ascii 196), (Ascii 246) and (Ascii 233). Array is build up nicely, but all chars above ascii value 127 are not shown right. How can I use ANSI character set with .ReadAllLines to correct this problem? In VB6 with "Open Filename For Input As #1 / Line Input #1, txtLine" there wasn't any problem. OBS: This is already solved, found the answer by myself:
Dim myEncoding As Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252) ' Windows-1252
Dim strLibrary As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName, myEncoding)
Problem was to find right character set, which was Windows-1251 (ISO-8859-1)

I'm reading a txt file into an array and then writing a new file one line at a time. The reason i'm using array is that i'm searching for a few lines that i want to find and replace.

I am using visual basic 2008 and trying to create an application to plot data from text files. I have several data files of various sizes. They have an unknown number of rows and either 2 or 4 columns.I need to put the data into 2 dimensional array, so value(,) becomes either value(lines,3) or value(lines,1) depending on the number of columns.My program needs to be able to count how many columns there are, and redim value(,) appropriately.I have written a piece of code to count the number of lines (rows) in the file using 'While not (EOF(1)) ....' but I'm stuck on how to count the number of columns.I could ask the user to indicate how many columns there are before the file is read, but I would prefer the program to detect the number automatically.

View 2 Replieswhat would be the optimum code in VB2010 that check a file to determine:
1) is it a text file, and
2) if it is a text file, does it contain any non-ASCII characters
Note that LF, CR, and EOF would be expected, and should not be flagged. I can think of 3 - 4 ways to do it, but there may be a 'best' way in terms of simplicity and speed.

In this case GDI no longer stands for Graphic Device Interface! I have an MDI form, and the child form loads up with a single panel positioned at a specific spot so that i can have a visual studio styled menu on the left side. The square white area is the panel with the fields in it for the user to enter. The left side is a TreeView with GDI lines drawn around it that dont appear until the menu has been changed. Here's what the menu looks like when its rendered properly:
When the form first loads, you can quickly see the GDI drawings come up (sometimes) then disappear. It flashes pretty quick when you can actually see it, but until you change the menu item to another causing it to redraw, its just... gone.. Looks like this:Here's the setup:I have two labels docked at the top for the large white text with a black background
There's the treeview on the left in a picturebox where the GDI components are drawn, and a panel touching it on the right side, which is sized and anchored on all sides basically keeping it stretched to the size of the window while keeping the top and left side pinned in position so it doesnt move, keep it touching the menu on the left.
Inside the panel is 10 more panels, one panel for each menu item. Each panel is programmatically set to resize to 1024x768 and becomes visible once the menu item for that panel is clicked. The panels are all programmatically top positioned at 0 and left positioned at -1 to hide the left border stroke from having the BorderStyle set to FixedSingle. Moving it to -1 hides only that border within the panel its in.
I have dual monitors, so i began stepping through the code on one monitor with the program running on the other so i could see what its doing with each step. While going through, at one point i see the contents of the TreeView completely vanish, but all the drawn GDI stuff is there. Once i get through everything and finally hit F8 on the very last line when control of the program is given back to me because its now waiting for me to do something, all of a sudden the treeview contents re-appear and the GDI drawings vanish.
I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.
I recently got microsoft expression studio and VS 2010..To test out expression, i created a sweet looking UI, and transferred an old program from VS 2008, but the CSV writing function I have written in the '08 doesn't work with my WPF form in '10.
