C# - Write Binary Data "as Is" To Registry (visible Binary Data As String From Regedit Only)
Feb 23, 2011
I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

I have a serious problem reading that stuff, it seems I can't get it right.The registry key I want to retrieve looks like this:
And this is the code i used:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim readValue = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _[code].....
The problems is that it returns something like: "V???????=dQ???!u?1?" What the ____ is that anyway? So in reality it should be like "c3gm322dvf" or something like that.

I've never worked with Binary values, so I can't get this to work. I don't know how to write it, but when I open the registry, I want the Data to look exactly like this [code]...

I'm trying to write a value of to a REG_Binary key. the only viable solution i see online is the following: Dim a() As Byte = New Byte() However the value of a0 is causing a problem. It won't seem to let this value be used. so how do i get this to work.

What do you think what is faster:
1. writing 1000 records in a binary file on a server? or
2. passing the same 1000 records in a database on a server?
and
1. search a specific record in a binary file? or
2. search the same specific record in a database file?

I have a binary file. If I look at it with a hex editor, the first values are:208, 207, 17, 224, 161, 177, 26, 225, 0, 0, 0, ... etc.It has a length of 330240 bytes I have tried to open it and read it into a string so I can manipulate it and write it back. No matter what I use, I either don't get the correct number of bytes or the values in the string are incorrect. The most common error results in the first values being: 63, 63, 17, 63, 63, 26, 0, 0, 0 .... etc.It is interesting that it appears that any value > 63 becomes 63.
I get the 2nd values by a simple loop:
For lnx = 0 To 99
Debug.Write(Asc(line.Substring(lnx, 1)))
Next
I have tried a whole number of ways to read in the file, including filestream, My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText, File.io.readAllLines, etc.All either give me a string length of about 324000 (not sure why) or, if they do, don't have the correct values. Yes, I have tried various encoding options.
I need to find a string (sort of like: "D" & Chr(0) + "L" & Chr(0) + "S" & Chr(0)... ) so I can then replace that portion of the string with a new value, then write out the file.I use the ".indexOf" to find the data in the string.Why can't I load the file into a string? Or, do you know of an easy way to find some text (similar to above) in a file and then replace the next x number of bytes with a new value and close the file?

This gets data from Excel and puts it into a table. The first 2 rows of data are placed into the table. All the fields columns are the same type and nothing is larger than it should be name is varchar(30) team is varchar(3) pos is varchar(2) rest are int or double. I place an i in front of integers s in front of string and so on. The 3rd row crashes with the following message at Command.ExecuteNonQuery() String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.

For the life of me I cannot find the solution to this error. All field lengths match the length of the SQL Server data field. Here is the insert code I am using... the same to the code that is used elsewhere in the program.SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and VB 2010 SP1.
Dim blnInputError As Boolean = False
Dim blnPrimaryKeyError As Boolean = False
Dim blnIsError As Boolean = False[code].........

I want to write a string into a binary file.The length of the string is 22 position 1036
Write name in that chain, the length of the name varies but is always between a length of 22.
As I can fill the remaining length of the string with blank spaces?
The empty spaces in hex is "00"

I am currently using a binary formatter to serialize/deserialize some data objects. Some of the properties in the classes are Strings. When the data is written you can open the file with a text editor and can see the raw String data. Is there any way to encrypt the Strings or the entire object before it is serialized? I have looked at this thread here [URL] but the code is in C# and the free converters I tried for some reason did not like the code. This is the code I am using currently.

I have a VB.NET dll which pulls out binary data from and opens it as a pdf. It works fine if I create a file on the user's machine and then open that. What I want to do, however, is just open it in Adobe without creating the file on their machine first (there's customer data in the file and we don't want copies of it sitting around unecessarily).
It's possible in ASP.NET to just stream the data to a browser and open it in that without creating the file, but I can't find a similar methodology for doing that straight to Adobe. Does anyone know if this is even possible or do I have to create the file in order to have it open?

I'm designing a very simple program that will need to save both data and photos to a cd but my code refuses to let me do it. Here is what I have:
FileOpen(1, "E:FileWithData.dat", OpenMode.Binary)
FilePut(1, AString, 10)
I keep getting an incorrect function at FileOpen
I saw some methds which take numerous lines of code but I like to keep my code very simple so I can easily tell what it does.

I want to store data in binary format in VB. Are there any disadvantages to use the functions fileopen, fileput, and fileclose instead of serialization using binaryformatter object. Using these functions seems to be easier and more compact.
