I'm a newbie in VB.NET, I am trying to directly set the bits of a single variable. For example - dim afloat as single afloat = &h0000000c afloat will then be set to to '12'. However, I wish to actually set the bits of afloat to &h0000000c, which will give a different value.

View 2 RepliesI have a byte array with 512 Elements and need to get and set a single bit of a byte in this array.The operation must not change any other bits, only the specified one.So if I have a byte like &B00110011 and would like to change the third bit to 1 it should be &B00110111.
Like this:Dim myarray(511) as byte myarray(3).2 = 1 ---> This would change the third bit (start counting at 0) of the third byte to 1 I know it should be easily possible using bit-masking but I don't have the time to try for days to get it working.
TimeGetTime gives the runtime of the program (I think) in millisec. How big is the variable in bits? I meen it must overflow at somepoint. How often does this happen?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to calculate the lower 7 bits and 7-13 bits of two hex numbers.
Here is some example c code, just need this in vb.net:
serialBytes[2] = 0x64 & 0x7F; // Second byte holds the lower 7 bits of target.
serialBytes[3] = (0x64 >> 7) & 0x7F; // Third data byte holds the bits 7-13 of target
The 0x7F is a constant so the only number that changes based off input is the 0x64.

View 6 RepliesSo I am having an issue where I want to call a variable without addressing it directly and I get an error for it:
Conversion from string "player1BuzzLock" to type 'Boolean' is not valid.
This is technically correct but why would it fail?

Dim PlayerNum as Integer = 1

View 3 RepliesSince I like to use the ReadAllBytes and WriteAllBytes methods to save my variables to disk, I have had no troubles thus far with Integers.It has been easy to convert a short integer into a string of two bytes to save them using WriteAllBytes as following example:-
ReDimxji(0 To 601)
For I% = 0 To 300
J% = hbs(I%)
[code].....
But now I want to store some Single variables using WriteAllBytes, so I need to convert my single variables to a string of four bytes for each.
I have been searching the internet trying to understand in its simplist form why this behavior happens.
Dim mysingle As Single = 456.11 Dim mybool As Boolean = mysingle = 456.11
In the lines above mybool becomes false. I found this behavior when putting the single into a double I found extra digits showing. The .net documentations states a single is an approimate value I gatehr a single is a 32bit floating point number? But why are extra digits appearing when I have explicitly said what the number is.. surely the memory should store that numbers either side of my number are 0 to fill up the memory location?
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.

View 2 RepliesI have a very large number of tables with data in the following format:
A X Y Z
1 0-2 0-13 0-1
2 3-5 14 2-4
3 6-9 15-16 5-10
In other words, there is a variable (call it A) with a single value that corresponds to a range of values in the other variables (call them X, Y, and Z).My program needs to accept user text input of values of X, Y, Z, etc. and then match each to the corresponding value of A.Example: User enters 4 in the X text box; program determines that if X=4, A=2.Again, we're talking about tables and tables of data in this format. Unaware of a better method, I have been using arrays.
Example:
Dim a() as double = {1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3...}
Dim x() as double = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...}
Note how I had to artificially deal with variable A so that the index of each score corresponds to the index of the matching X variable.It is this modification of the variables that is taking forever. There has to be a better way! Hypothetically, what I need is the ability to do something like this:
Dim a() as double = {1,2,3,4...}
dim x() as double = {0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 9...}
Is there a way to represent a range of values at a single index of an array, such as my hypothetical example above? This would save me hours of re-shaping the data to make the arrays work.
I have a listview box. I load the listview up from a text file and everything is divided into three groups. I need to be able to select multiple lines then push that out to a single variable, separated by commas. Two things are happening that are problematic:
1) If I just have it set to smallicons and no checkboxes, anything I select is highlighted right up until the control loses focus at which point everything un-selects.
2) If I turn on checkboxes, I can click boxes and they stay selected when I lose focus BUT the checkboxes are cut off on the left side of the control. (The checkbox appears to go off the edge of the control.) There's plenty of space in the control for the checkbox and the listed items.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to use the timer (not a Timer object) in a Do... Until loop. I want the loop to put a single variable into a label. When I do this it works and puts the value into the label (lblOxygenReading):

Select Case True
Case rdoColorWhite.Checked
strCurrentColor = "White"

It goes through the Do loop and the For.. next loop but doesn't change the label. Visual Studio doesn't show any errors when I'm writing the code, but when I run it, it hangs somewhere.

View 9 RepliesWhat is the best way to store 4 bits from a byte in VB.Net? Where best means:Most straightforward method of storage from a Byte type.The easiest to work with while performing bitwise operations.Straightforward conversion of the bits to other types.Storing them in a BitArray via it's constructor reverses the order of the bits. This means that attempting to get the value of the first bit will require looking for that value in the last entry in the BitArray.
