Convert A String To Get A Checksum?
Nov 30, 2011
I need to convert a string to get a checksum as follows;
Checksum
The checksum is the 8 LSB (least significant bits) of a simple addition of all octets (note that a message type '30' is two octets with the values 33 hex and 30 hex) following the STX character and until the checksum field. Note that all separators will be included in the checksum, but the STX, checksum and the ETX will not be included.
Dim str as string = "01/00064/O/30/12345678/87654321////////48656C6C6F20576F726C64/"
This should result in checksum = "C2" What type of checksum is this? what should I Google for? CRC, MD5, hash ?

I have the following hex string 40 50 4C 41 59 0D I am transmitting to a piece of equipment, I need to calculate a checksum value to add to the string as the last byte to be sent. The checksum byte is generated in such a manner that the result of addition of all bytes of a message will become 11111111(255). the code that you see here does not work can anyone tell/show me why? Whats important is the checksum calculation.

This function doesn't work if I change the input argument 'pdu' from a string to an int.Would someone please help me figure out what to do here so that the checksum does not add the ascii value of the int argument but rather the actual integer value?I took out a few lines of the actual function but it adds the input argument to a packet sent out via TCP protocol.This function shows the integer value just fine in the string that gets encoded as a byte array. the checksum is wrong.!
''Public Function buildpacket(pdu As Integer) is what I want.
Public Function buildpacket(pdu As String)
Dim packet As String

I'm working with some very large files residing on P2 (Panasonic) cards. Part of the process we employ is to first generate a checksum of the file we are going to copy, then copy the file, then run a checksum on the file to confirm that it copied OK. The problem is, is that files are large (70 GB+) and take a long time to complete. It's an issue since we will eventually be dealing with thousands of these files.
I would like to find a faster way to generate the checksum other than using the System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider I don't care if this means using a specialized hardware card, provided it works and is not to ungodly expensive. I would prefer to have a method of encoding that provided some feedback as to how far the process has gone along so I can display it like I do now.
The application is written in vb.net. I would prefer to be able to use it as component, library, reference within my application, but I'm willing to call an outside application if there is enough improvement in the speed of generating the checksum.
Needless to say, the checksum must be consistent and correct.

This comparison shows the different values of the known good checksum calculation (c#) as used by my client and what I 'hoped' was the vb.net equivalent. How can I get 405 rather than 513 as I currently do?
For i = 0 To length - 2 Step 1
cksum += sendFrameData(i + 5)
Next i

Dim sum As Byte
Dim Trans_Array(_64K, 2) As Byte
Const _64K As Integer = 65536
sum = 0
For i = 0 To 15
BinaryStream.Write(Trans_Array(Address + i, RIGHT_FILE))
sum = (Convert.ToByte(sum + Trans_Array(Address + i, RIGHT_FILE)))
Next
I can't figure out how to calculate the checksum of the bytes from array.

Is it possible for my application to check if its been modified?
e.g. Could i compile the app and use a 3rd party tool to calculate the MD5 checksum of the compiled exe - and inside the app, code it so that if the MD5 checksum doesnt match then run the deactivation process?
I know its not foolproof but if it makes it slightly more hassle to crack my app i'd rather have it

I'm trying to create an app that controls a BSS BLU-80 (DSP) through Ethernet. I've written a few basic programs in the past, but nothing that used sockets or even required calculating a checksum. One of the values I need to send has to be 24 bits. This one really has me scratching my head. From the manufacturer's docs:

I've wanting to generate a CRC16-X25 checksum in the form HiByte and LowByte. All the examples I've found by searching are either VB6 which uses functions and data types that are no longer supported or C, C++ etc. Does anyone have a simple VB.Net version? Speed is not an issue.

I have been trying to compute the checksum for a line of hex code. This is to create a hex file which will be loaded onto an embedded micro.Some of you guys may not know how this is done so very briefly:
a line of hex bytes:
: 10 01 00 00 21 46 01 36 01 21 47 01 36 00 7E FE 09 D2 19 01 40
The underlined bytes are taken and summed. (in this case the decimal 960). and the bold is the checksum Only the 8LSB (or single least significant byte) is needed to compute the checksum... which in this case, 960 = 03C0 in hex, so only C0 is needed.Two's complement is then taken:
step 1) logical not of C0 which is
step 2) add one (integer)
BIN...........DEC...HEX
[code]....
So here is the code I have been using: (quick mention that in the string passed, the hex bytes are all grouped together, there are no space characters)
Public Sub CreateLine(ByVal Data As String)
'Dim BDataArray(DataLength) As Byte
Dim IDataArray(Data.Length) As Integer
[code]....
where i get into trouble is where i commented 'i get into trouble'. My code works, but it's rather crude Now, in that line i first convert the hex value (string) "SChecksum" into an integer. I want to NOT this, so I get my step 2 from my explanation. However, the results appears to be a signed logical NOT. which gives me the wrong answer. My hashed togther version simply subtracts 256 before the not, in order to give me the correct answer.
Basically, I would love for someone to chime in and point out the flaws in my function, and push me towards figuring out the 'proper' way of doing this. Also I can't quite wrap my head around what would happen in the case a string were passed to my function that is over 16 bits, but I imagine I would have to subtract a larger value than 256, before doing the NOT in this case?(whilst we're on the subject of functions, I've used a 'sub', in which case should I used a sub, and which case should I use a function?).

I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.

Currently, I'm using the following code to pull info from the management class.
[code]...
I'm also pulling info from the bios, disk drives, video, etc. What I've noticed, is although it runs fine on my pc, it may error out on some pcs since it is hardware dependent.I'm having trouble implementing a check to find if it exists before I convert to a string and add it to my overall string.

I'm working on a mass text replacer program because I'm sick of all the 10-day trial ones out there that aren't very good.The entire program is basically finished (All easy stuff), but now I need to code the actual replace/delete stuff, which I'm stuck on because apparently the way I originally intended to do it is not possible.
The way it works is you load a text file (.txt, .cfg, .ini, .doc, etc.) which opens a StreamReader which writes all the data into a listbox. Then you pick whether you want to replace or delete a string. If you select replace, then you enter the string to search for and in another textbox you enter the string to replace it with.
The way I originally intended to do this was like this:
If o1.Text = "Replace" Then 'The option
Replace(txtfile, str1, a1) 'txtfile is the data, str1 is the string to find and a1 is the replacement
End If
The problem is, I believe this method requires txtfile, str1 and a1 to be strings, but they're all 1-dimensional string arrays, which cannot be converted to strings, or at least I don't know how to convert them.
A friend told me one way I could do this is to open both a StreamReader and StreamWriter and do the replace/delete line by line as they are entered into the memory and write them to a temporary file which is then copied over the original. I can do this kind of, but I still don't know the proper way of doing the actual replace code because the string to find and the string to replace with are still 1-dimensional string arrays rather than strings.

Value of type 'System.Func(Of String, String)' cannot be converted to 'System.Converter(Of String, String)
Why? They are both effectively a function pointer (or delegate?) to a function that accept a string and return a string.
