Why Does A Negative SByte Number Have 16 Bits
Jul 11, 2011
I asked a question earlier about comparing numbers using the "And" comparison operator in If Statements and now I have been toying around with getting my head wrapped around bitwise operators. So I have written a very basic code that will allow me to see the conversion of any decimal number in binary format.[code]Notice here that I am using SByte as the paramerter - which should only contain 8 bits right? However, the message box that appears has 16 bits assigned to negative numbers.

I want to convert numbers from 0 to 15 like that
[Code]...
Problem is that when we convert 2 to binary number it gives only 10 in binary, but i want to convert 2 to 4 bit binary number 0010.

I am calling the function below from an Excel spreadsheet and the conversion from hex to decimal using the VAL function in the "manufacturer" variable below is coming back with a negative value. The VBA edition is 6.5.
Public Function decMEID(ByVal sKey As String) As String
Dim manufacturer As String
Dim serial As String

I need to check a value and make sure that it is not a negative number using a try catch statement I keep getting an error saying that I have to use a method.
Try
TotalCurrentBalance < 0
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
I wouldn't put a if statement would I? I am thinking that would defeat the purpose.

Is there a built-in function in .NET (VB) to convert a negative number into a positive, and vice-versa?I usually end up just using:NegNum = PosNu - (PosNum * 2)PosNum = NegNum- (NegNum * 2)

I'm having problem in my datagridview.I'm using vb 2008 and an access database. When I create a new record for my item the No column (primary key and autonumber in access) always shows a negative number.How can I make that a positive number and it should follow the numbering in the datagridview.

My problem is with the following API.
Private Declare Function GetKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal keyCode As Integer) As Integer In Windows XP, I could simply use the API like this: If GetKeyState(Keys.Left) < 0 Then 'Move Left If the key was pressed, it was a certain number below 0, the number itself alternated each time you pressed the key but it was always below 0.
My problem is that in Windows 7, when you press the Left key, the number isn't the same, in fact the number isn't even negative anymore. This problem tricked me at first into thinking the API didn't even work as when I ran the .exe of course my code did nothing since GetKeyState never returned a number below 0. I tested the value itself though and found that it never goes negative, the number for the key just decreases a little.
The weird thing is, while the .exe from the Debug folder proved my point that the GetKeyState number was different and thus the program didn't work, running the .exe from the Release folder actually worked, the controls were fine and the API returned numbers less than 0 for GetKeyState. But the .exe from the release folder was built with my old XP computer, as soon as I made a new build with my windows 7 computer the API stopped working again.
Why did Windows 7 change the number returned for when the key is down, is there a way to change it back without having to include some large package with my program? Why did the build from my XP computer work at first? Also it was only the one from the release folder, not the debug one, even though they were both from the XP computer.
I tested some more on windows 7 and found that every time I run the program, the number returned by GetKeyState is completely different. When the key is down the number is 1,000,000 units higher than up, but other than that the number is random each program start.

I got a Mysql sql database for my project. The id field is set as auto increment, which seems to function correctly. But on the form in my text field and datagrid i see a negative number, while in the database its a postitive number. I do not really plan to use the id field right now, but when i do it might cause some problems.
Anybody know why it would show as a negative number on the form(textbox/gridview) and as a positive in the actual database?

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the lower 7 bits and 7-13 bits of two hex numbers.
Here is some example c code, just need this in vb.net:
serialBytes[2] = 0x64 & 0x7F; // Second byte holds the lower 7 bits of target.
serialBytes[3] = (0x64 >> 7) & 0x7F; // Third data byte holds the bits 7-13 of target
The 0x7F is a constant so the only number that changes based off input is the 0x64.

I'm reading bytes from a serial port but need to convert them to signed, 8-bit integers (SByte).Unfortunately, the overflow checking in VB prevents a Byte value of 255 from becoming -1 in an SByte. So, essentially, I want to do the following:

I have a 3rd party dll, and I can't have it referenced while compiling for 64 bit. Is there a way around this? I'm guessing it is because the dll is a 32 bit one, but I'm not sure about that.

What is the best way to store 4 bits from a byte in VB.Net? Where best means:Most straightforward method of storage from a Byte type.The easiest to work with while performing bitwise operations.Straightforward conversion of the bits to other types.Storing them in a BitArray via it's constructor reverses the order of the bits. This means that attempting to get the value of the first bit will require looking for that value in the last entry in the BitArray.

I am moving Visual Basic 2010 Express from a 32 bits Windosw 7 machine to a 64 bits Windows 7 machine. My project contains a PowerPacks line. I have installed the PowerPacks (VisualBasicPowerPacks3Setup.exe) on the 64 bits system, and see them in the toolbox. When I try to open the project on the 64 bits machine. however, I get error messages:The designer cannor process the code at line 56:
Me. ShapeContainer1 = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
The referenced component 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs' could not be found
I then thought I would just remove the (purely cosmetic) line on the 32 bits machine, but cannot discover how to do this (I would have though: rihgt click, and then delete, but this doesn't exist)

I am soon to develop a Win Forms app that will run on traders' machines and the main concern is to have the app use as little memory as possible. Ever single line of code needs to be written with this in mind. What are areas I need to take into account? Of course you will say to do any complex processing on e.g. the database and not the client but what else?

I have made a very small (only one form and no database operations) but nifty application and I want many people to be able to use it. My question is: As I only need a very small part of the dotnet framework, is there a way to let the compiler (or so) grab only the parts it needs for the .exe/.msi file, so that users don't have to install the entire 3.5 framework just to run my tiny little app?

I'm a newbie in VB.NET, I am trying to directly set the bits of a single variable. For example - dim afloat as single afloat = &h0000000c afloat will then be set to to '12'. However, I wish to actually set the bits of afloat to &h0000000c, which will give a different value.

Is there another way to easily make a POST request in .NET other than the WebRequest class? I have a very, VERY small piece of data I need to post: password=theword but WebRequest randomly, and I mean randomly, drops the data when posting to my server. I've tested it by using a chunk of code from my server that dumps the request to a console, and I can that the client is sometimes sending and sometimes not sending the POST data.The code that I'm using that uses WebRequest works in another project, when talking to IIS. The server being talked to (a minimal web server in another system) responds properly every time I POST data to it through Firefox. I've got a function in the same project that fires off a GET request, and that works. It just seems like my POST function isn't completing the transaction...something I've noticed in the past when asking WebRequest to handle small strings.[code]

Is it safe to assume an int will always be 32 bits in C#? The linked question asks whether it is "safe to assume that an int will always be 32 bits in C#". The accepted answer states that "the C# specification rigidly defines that int is an alias for System.Int32 with exactly 32 bits".
My question is this: does this hold true for VB.Net's Integer? Is it safe to assume that Integer will always be an alias for int32?
