I am simply trying to get the hexadecimal value of an integer (below 255) and then place this value into a byte. I have been using the hex command, but it converts the value to a string hex value. Its been driving me mad for days now as I just cant seem to sort it!
The code is as follows:
tempIntToCompare = CInt(tempValue)
tempIntToCompare = tempIntToCompare - LowTemp
[Code]....
if a byte value can go up to 255 and two bytes are used to determine the length of packet payload data, how would I convert the two bytes to create one integer value?
State.buffer[13] = 5 and State.buffer[14] = 67
Dim PacketLengthHigh As Integer = state.buffer(13)
Dim PacketLengthLow As Integer = state.buffer(14)

I am receiving ASCII data over my serial port. "51 48 46 48 48 49" for example, this represents my temperature of 30.001 degree. Now I would like to convert this ASCII numbers nad combine to readable temperature and store my data into an excel table. [Code]

View 19 RepliesI am new to vb net so please cut me some slack if this is a stupid question, I have always used vb6 before, but finding that its less and less supported so trying to learn vb.net by myself. Also I am doing this for a hobby not a profession.I am writing an Console application to read a file sequentially 1 byte at a time into a 1 byte buffer. It then copies that byte into a 4 byte lookup buffer, that moves, ie as the file pointer moves forward by one byte the 4 byte lookup buffer copies the last 3 bytes into the first 3 bytes to accept the byte at the file pointer into the 4th byte of the lookup buffer. I am doing 1 byte at a time because the data I am looking for is not at pre-determind offsets and filesizes may not be a multiple of 4.
[Code]...
Help please its driving me mad It appears as if the byte is not being transferred to the lookup buffer so that it would always be 0, either that or I am not converting it to an integer properly
I am reading/writing a fixed length header into a stream and I need to do the following in VB:
1. Convert a 2 byte integer (int16) into a byte array
2. Read 2 bytes of a byte array into an integer variable
I have a very simple question about converting a byte array into 16bit integers. I am connected to a device through a serial port. It sent me six bytes which represent three Int16 integers. For example, the byte array is called newRecievedData(5) and has a length of 6.
The manual that came with the device claims that the int Format is 8 bit MSB|8 bit LSB. Does that mean the following?
newRecievedData(0) contains 8 high bits of the first Int16
newRecievedData(1) contains 8 low bits of the first Int16
newRecievedData(2) contains 8 high bits of the second Int16

I need to parse a binary stream in .NET to convert a 16 byte unsigned integer. I would like to use the BinaryReader.ReadUIntXX() functions but there isn't a BinaryReader.ReadUInt128() function available. I assume I will have to roll my own function using the ReadByte function and build an array but I don't know if this is the most efficient method?
View 3 RepliesI inherited a project that includes a dialog between two applications. One in native C++ the other in VB.NET. The protocol is such that the first 4 bytes (32 bits) of the message encodes the size. However the VB.NET side never sets these first four bytes, however it does use the .net method BeginSendTo, which accepts an argument for size. Does the BeginSendTo method automatically add the size to the beginning of the message in the form of a 4 byte int?

I am working on a simple windows app that will take our TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider Key and IV from a file and use it to Encrypt and Decrypt strings, etc...This works great and has for years in a utility program, but I want an easy app that can read the Key and IV...following format in the txt file:
[KEY] {123,123,123,123,132,132,123,...}
[IV] {23,23,23,23,23,...}
And then create the Encryption Pair...Currently I have the following
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider = New _
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider.Key = New Byte() {111, 222, 333,...}
clientDESCryptoServiceProvider.IV = New Byte() {1,2,3,...}
Is there any way to pull the {111,222,333,...} and {1,2,3,...} from a text file and create the Byte() that is required?I can read the info from the text file, but cannot seem to create the right format for generating the Byte()?

Most of the time when we read the file stream into a byte array, we would write the following code.[code]But here we have to convert Length into an integer type (line 2 of the code above) since we cannot declare a byte array using the long data type (with option strict on). Is this a good practice? What is the work around for this problem?

I'm using visual basic to code a program to help with weights and center of balance on aircrafts, as I'm my unit's new air load planner. The math isn't hard to do, it's just that much of it is trial and error, and redoing all the arithmetic over and over again until the aircraft's C/B is in acceptable limits can eat some time up. So, since i'm trying to learn programming I thought this might be a good way to use it for a real-world scenario.
