We have a program on our AS400 that takes in a number, encrypts it and then passes the encrypted characters back. Using the CWBX stringConverter.FromBytes method... I am able to convert the numberic byte / ascii code value, into its appropriate character. This has been working fine for a while, until we noticed some values getting cut off. The byte array returned looks like this:

I am using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Fileio.TextFieldParser to parse a CSV file that was created with Excel 2003. The parser is working great with the exception that it is converting extended ascii values to question marks! So if the file content was:

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 want my app shows ascii char. I find a ascii file over the net. seems it's encoding in cp437.
I use this to make it shows in my textbox. but without luck.
anyone got an Idea to makes it show up perfectly?
in the picture left side is what it looks like in ascii editor. right side is what it looks like in my textbox.
but I am trying out VB.net and is trying to make a program to show the ascii code for every key press I made.. here is the coding i used..
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
TextBox2.Text = e.KeyValue
End Sub
this one seems to work fine, but I noticed that regardless of whether I use "A" or "a", the ascii code shown is always 65. last i checked small letters have their own ascii code, so "a" should show a ascii of 97, not 65..
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.

!AIVDM,1,1,,A,14eG;o@034o8sd<L9i:a;WF>062D,0*7D

I am trying to make a simple program to convert ascii in its code format
Example: Chr(53) & Chr(53) & Chr(54) & Chr(100) & Chr(52)
to a readable format. I understand that this can be easily accomplished by writing in the ascii code into the code will do it but I am trying to create a more interactive method of doing it so I can copy and paste a long length of code into a textbox and have it update a label with the conversion.
The latest assignment from my teacher was to create a console program where the user enters a character and the respective ASCII value in Denary, Hexadecimal and Binary, Even Parity, Odd Parity and Hamming code is returned.I've managed to implement all of them except the latter with relative ease, I am familiar with the concept of Hamming code and can compute it easily by hand, but don't really know how to implement it as a function in my program.

View 1 RepliesI would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
View 6 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 just wanted to calafiy i know how to call a different sub and everything but i wanted to know if you could call a different program all together.
say you have on the first WITCH POWER DO YOU CHOSE. then they hit NEXT and it takes them to a whole new layout and program like saved in a different folder.
i think you do this like you would with webpages
Call ../folder/folder/frmbladeda
if thats wrong or there is an eazyer way also would i do the same thing with varibles like how you do Call addtogether(strone, strtwo) addtogether would be the private sub and strone and strtwo would the the varibles in that said sub.
make sure i want to call a different program like 3 folders away
I am facing a lil bit of problem and my problem is I am calling a function in a timer device, and that function reads the data from the data base what it actually does is, first the timer capture hotkeys pressed from the keyboard and then calls a function Readit() and in Readit() it actually compares if the key has some data associated with it if it has some data it reads that data into a a variable buff and sends it to the active window whichever window is active.Main problem is my function won't stop reading and sending the same data to the active window,

I have written a VB Program for calculating Power requirements for Heating Water, Air etc. There are some standard formulae, which require inputs in fixed units. The user may have data in other units, which will then need conversion.Example: Formula needs Airflow in Cubic Meters/ Minute, where as user has data in Liters/Second.I do not want to write code to do Unit Conversions from within my Program. There are readily available FREE Applications for doing the conversions. I have one such Application, which I want to bundle with my VB program.How can I Code in my program, so that when the user clicks a Button " Unit Conversion ", the bundled program will open.This is like clicking on a Hyperlink in a Program or Document and a Web Browser opens.

This 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:
