C# - Convert MBF Single And Double To IEEE?
Jun 4, 2010
Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary>
''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param>
''' <returns>The converted IEEE Single value</returns>

I am receiving a data stream which contains 4 bytes of data which need to be converted to a 32-bit float (IEEE 754). This was easy to do in C as I created a union with a 4-byte array and a 32-bit float. Job done. However I have no idea how to accomplish this in VB (pls note I do not code in VB).

I'm making a project that randomly picks a number from an array, but if it picks a number less than 10 then the number is a single instead of a double.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim N(2) As Integer
N(0) = "0" & 1
N(1) = "0" & 2
N(2) = "0" & 3

I have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?

I have a problem with double and single quotes in a string.I have a textbox where i take a string from.In the textbox are double quotes and single quotes quotes.Problem is that if i return the string all the single quotes are replaced by double quotes.How can i get it to keep the single quotes as single quotes?

The code compiles and seems to run correctly, but is underlined with the message "Implicit Conversion from 'Double' to 'Single'" Why would this be an implicit conversion if each of the variables is cast as a Single? Is this something I should worry about or change?

How to check the Single byte character (e.g. English) and Double bytes character(e.g. Chinese) ?
Since I want to printing out their code which are representing in Hex.
However, Single byte character is using 2 digits of Hex. And Double bytes character is using 4 digits of Hex.
So, how can I check them and output with more readable pattern ?
input likes: 微軟 Microsoft output likes: B74C B36E 4D 69 63 72 6F 73 6F 66 74

I wanted to know if it's possible - after casting a double to a single, to turn it back into a double again? i tried doing something like:
Dim x_double as double = 12345678.987654321d
Dim x_single as single=x_double
x_doubble=Cdbl(x_single)
but it doesn't give me the original value.

How can I get access in a fast way to the single bytes that form a double variable?
In pseudo-code I want to do something like this:
Dim myDouble as Double
Dim myArray(7) as Byte
myArray = myDouble
'continue doing things with the single bytes
The code is meant for use in a I/O-handler. The double-variables have to be sent / received via TCP. For this purpose they shall be put into / assembled from I/O-buffers.

I am saving a text field that may contain a single of double quote.' or "If i use a double quote in my SQL save funciton I can save and use single Quotes. When I use a Single quote I can save Double Quotes. Yet not both.People use both, so I would like to know how I could change the delimiter to something other than a Double Quote for my text saves

Quick code example:
v1.magnitude = myVectors(c).magnitude * 0.95
I have a vector class...and the magnitude is single precision...Now the problem is this, when I run this with option strict on, it gives me the going from double to a single error...Why? Does multiplication imply double precision?
So with option strict on, can you not multiply single precision numbers together and assign them to another single precision variable without first convert.tosingle?
What is the point of this? I am currently changing hundreds of lines of code in a project that runs perfectly...

I am reading and writing binary data through a serial port and must (a) reassemble the incoming four bytes that make up a IEEE single-precision float into an actual float, and (b) disassemble a float into its four constituent bytes before squirting them through the serial port.
I am using VB.NET 2008. In VB6, I could use the LSET command, as in:
Code:
Private Type typByteArray
B(1 To 4) As Byte
End Type
[Code]....
But of course this code won't work in VB.NET. In C it would be easy to handle situations like this by using unions, but VB.NET doesn't support them.

Let's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x)
2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x)
3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal)
4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64)
--> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)

I am trying to convert an SMS to double. I'm creating a monitoring system where values like "45.2" are sent to another modem.
I would like to convert 45.2 (which I think is string initially and placed in a textbox) to double so I can do comparison upon receiving it.[code]...

Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double?I'm currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then seeing if it throws an exception. But this seems to be slowing down my application.
Try
' if number then format it.
current = CDbl(x)

Iam using VB 2005 on Vista This is a sample of what I am doing:
Public Class Form 1 Dim WC As String Private Sub Button1_Click

How do I get around this? What I am trying to do is, I really want to use TextBox's for input to enter numbers when the program is running and I also want a MsgBox to appear if an input is not entered because these numbers are important to a final formula further down.

Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?

I need to take this string:
Dim tmpTry As String = "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 20, 20, 10, 35, 3, 8, 47, 7, 2, 5, 55, 8, 0, 0, 6, 55, 0, 2, 12, 0, 0, 21, 14, 0, 3"
And convert it to a double array:
Dim arrNumOfVisits As Double() = New Double(tmpTry) {}
How do i go about doing that?
FYI the arrNumOfVisits goes into a ParamArray System.Collections.IEnumerable()

I am trying to convert a string to double and it is giving error. Bye the way it is not giving error on my PC but it gives on some pc's where other clients are using. String is retrieved from xml data.
<data><vitals>
<username>aiglemedia</username>
<balance>49.60</balance>
</vitals></data>
vb code
Dim curBalance As Double
xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("vitals")......xmlDoc contains the above xml data
curBalance = System.Convert.ToDouble(xmlNode.Item(0).Item("balance").InnerText)... I think so error is on this line.
Below is the link for the error given by the client who is using the app [URL]
