Magic Number Vs Constant?
May 11, 2012I save a lot of settings in an INI file as 1 (enabled) and 0 (disabled), all around the project's module i have this check If setting = 1 then ' do somethingEnd If ' OR If setting = 0 then ' do somethingEnd If
My question, is it good for performance to declare public constants to hold 1 & 0 and use them in such above checks instead of using real number?
In general, if i use value like 8, 9, "", "$", etc... in just two different places, should i declare constant for it?

VS 2008 : GZipStream Extracts Only 1/4 Of The File?
Mar 9, 2010This code uncompresses 1/4 of the gzipped file. & I took it directely from the help file sample function codes.Any idea why is it doing this or how to fix it? gz file is attached below & it is not damaged.Edit: I read some stuff hire & there & found this: tutorial that says that MSDN doesn�t set the size of the array and uses a default size of 4086 bytes. But I have no clue how to implement it into my code.In this gz file there are only around 50 lines but there are files with over 1000 lines. So I tested & indeed this seems to be the problem, because if I increase the buffer(4096) more lines are extracted.

Sample Code For Unzipping File
Nov 28, 2009I have a vbscript that does the following but I want to do it in vb .net and was hoping someone could post some sample code to get me started. The script does the following. Monitors 2 folders specified in a config file. When a zip file is put in the one of the folders it us automatically unzipped to a working folder and then the zip file is renamed to unzipped-<zip>.zip. I am hoping someone could post a visual studio project or code that might help me get started.
View 4 Replies[2008] Read Contents Of ZIP File (without Unzipping Preferably)?
Mar 5, 2009I need my program to 'take a peek' into a ZIP file and see if it contains a certain file. I need it to do this many times for a large number of files, so I would prefer it without having to unzip the entire zip-file each time, as that would take far too much time (it's a fairly large zip-file of about 250 MB).Also, I don't need the actual file at all. All I need to know is if it exists inside the zip file.
vb.net
If IO.File.Exists("C:FolderIPFile.zipfolder_in_zipfile.jpg") Then
' "file.jpg" exists inside zip-file!

Magic Numbers - File Header And Footer
Feb 12, 2011For my project, I need to develop an app, which will have MS-SQL db with 4 tables
a>FileHeader
b>FileFooter
c>Extension
d>Detail about the file.
This is all to do with the Magic Numbers, or File header and footer, found in all files. The first 4-byte and last 4-bytes.
Example:
Suppose a word DOC file when read using this app should return and match the values
D0 CF 11 E0
So, how can I read the files using vb.net, fileIO, FileStream/StreamClass/FileReader? I just need to open the file and read the first 4 and last 4 bytes of any given file. And then it should connect back to the SQL database and lookup for the matching values from the tables as I had mentioned. And return a match found or not found.

Jan 21, 2010I am trying to create an application that will copy files with a "*.1" extension over to another directory and change the file extension to .tif. The problem is that the *.1 files are located within zip files. Is it possible to copy files out of a zip file without having to extract it? The code I have so far is below. I have only gotten to the point to list all *.zip files found in a specific directory in a listbox. I am really looking to list all *.1 files found within all .zip files in a specific directory. Once they are all listed in the listbox, I will then chose a destination directory, copy them to the destination directory and change the files from a .1 extension to a .TIF extension.

View 1 RepliesVS 2005 - Compressing A Dataset Converted To XML Using The GZipStream Class Added In 2.0
Mar 25, 2009I am compressing a dataset converted to XML using the GZipStream class added in 2.0. There are a few things bothering me about this. Here's the code I am using to decompress the XML file:
Using inFile As New System.IO.FileStream(flnm, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)
Dim zStrm As New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(inFile, IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
Dim buff(999) As Byte
[CODE]...
This seems inordinately awkward, as I am taking the stream, reading it out into byte buffers, then writing those byte buffers to a memory stream that is then passed to the dataset.ReadXml() method. The reason for this seems to have to do with what is happening in the line colored red. That line is adding a closing > onto the end of the stream. Without that, ReadXml complains about an unclosed dataset. I found out that the > was missing by writing the stream into a string and pasting the string into WordPad. Without that missing >, it appears that I wouldn't need to be using that memory stream at all, and could simply pass in the GZipStream to ReadXML, but as far as I can tell, it's impossible to look at the GZipStream to be sure that the > is not there, and it may be impossible to add it (I haven't tried).
So why is the > missing? Here's the code used to create the file that is being read into the filestream in the above
VB Using ms As New System.IO.FileStream(flnm, IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, IO.FileAccess.Write, IO.FileShare.Write)
Dim zStrm As New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(ms, IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress)
ds.WriteXml(zStrm, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
End Using
The real kicker to all of this is that while I was dissecting the first chunk of code, I added a line to check for cnt<1000. My intention was to see the last buffer that was being written into the memory stream to see whether the final > was actually there, or not. To my surprise, I reached the cnt<1000 twice. That means that one read did not read a full 1000 bytes, but read only 675. The next three or four reads were a full 1000 bytes, then the final read was just a few hundred bytes. It is my understanding that Read will return a full buffer if there are that many bytes left to read, and there were, so why did it return only a partial buffer? That suggests that there might be a hole in my XML, though with a half meg file, it's a bit much to read through it looking for something missing. However, the XML that was returned was turned into a dataset that I then merged into some existing data using code that has been working with uncompressed XML files, and I got an error that I should never have received. That may indicate that the XML was, in fact, missing something, though I will have to study the matter further to figure out whether or not that is the case. My major question has to do with the missing '>' at the very end of the file.

VS 2008 - Unzipping Files From Program (Shell32 Functionality)
Mar 20, 2009I want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.

Designing Magic Square - Scanning Array With Function
Mar 18, 2011I'm designing a 3 x 3 Magic Square, where the 3 x 3 tables are made of up three adjacent list boxes. Upon starting the program, the 3 x 3 square consists only of the character "?" to represent a variable that has yet to be defined. The user will input through text boxes and button presses the characters 1 to 9, replacing the highlighted undefined "?' with the desired number. I'm required to include a Function procedure that can, at any time scan the 3x3 table and return an integer value of -1 if an undefined character "?" is present, a value of 0 if the rows, columns and diagonals do not sum to the same value, or the sum common to all rows columns and diagonals.
To start with I defined a 2D array and undefined.
Dim mSquare(2,2) As String
Dim undefined As String = "?"
Then I used a Sub to set the 3x3 table as undefined which I did not show to save space. Next I used a Sub to update the highlighted characters, allowing only one list box to be selected at a time and which I hope also assigns the the values to the array as they are updated. I removed parts of the code so this post isn't too big.
If lstCol2.SelectedIndex = -1 And lstCol3.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
lstCol1.Items(lstCol1.SelectedIndex) = input
txtInput.Text = ""
End If
For i As Integer = 0 To 2
[Code] .....
What I'm stuck on is the Function design. I'm trying to design something to scan the array, and give back an integer depending on the results, which are to return an integer value of -1 if an undefined character "?" is present, a value of 0 if the rows, columns and diagonals do not sum to the same value, or the sum common to all rows columns and diagonals.

Is what I'm trying to do even possible? I did a longer method in which I just check all the entries individually but I'm hoping there is a more efficient way. Its my plan B for now.
