I'm using this code, in a thread, to get the output from a process being executed (an external compiler in this case):
Private Sub Readoutput()
Dim OutputBuf(4096) As Byte
Dim state As Object = Nothing, result As System.IAsyncResult, l As Integer
[code]....
When I run this code, I get output in ascii, can I get output in unicode?

I am sending a DDE message to a client using System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(item) . However, before the message is actually sent, I would like to get the message coded where if the item="Ask" then item=Ask (string variable) and so on. The code is:
Protected Overrides Function OnRequest(ByVal conversation As DdeConversation, ByVal item As String, ByVal format As Integer) As RequestResult
' Return data to the client only if the format is CF_TEXT

Is it correct to correct properties values on the fly? for example: (note the .ToLower)
Public Property X() As String
Get
Return _x.ToLower
End Get

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

View 7 RepliesI have created a basic query generator which allows a user to select the Select, WHERE and criteria attributes using a number of checkboxes.However i have got stuck. In the results form i have the following code
Private Sub DisplayRecord()
RichTextBox1.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(0)
RichTextBox2.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(1)
RichTextBox3.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(2)
[code]....
The program keeps on crashing if the user does not select the corresponding amount of display records from above for the amount of attributes they want for the SELECT part of the query in the intreface in form 1.
How would i go about making something where the number of SELECT attributes selected which are listed in a string create the correct number of textbox fields in the results form (form2)

View 12 RepliesI have done very little with encoding of Text. Truthfully, I don't really even know what it means exactly.
For example, if I have something like:
CODE:
Is that 'encoded' in memory in a particular format? Does that format depend on what language I'm using?
If I were in another country, like China, for example, and I had a string of Chinese (mandarin? My apologies if I'm using the wrong words here) would the following code (that I've used fine on English strings) still work the same?
CODE:
Or would it lose all meaning when you convert that .Net string to a UTF8Encoding when that conversion isn't valid?
Finally, I've worked with .Net for a few years now and I've never seen, heard, or had to do anything with Encoding. Am I the exception, or is it not a common thing to do?

The void pointer corresponds to enums or structures. I have to get this structures/enums on the vb.net dll end. I have mentioned about using pipe. My question is as what type the pointed to data can be send over the pipe so that I can easily handle the received data at the vb.net dll end.

I am writing a little project to parse a CSS file, and base64 encode all the background images.While I am able to parse the CSS correctly, it seems that everytime I try to convert the image file into a base64Encoded string, the string returned is always exactly the same.Please assume that all image paths are passing correctly to the method. In this instance, all images are fully qualified urls, so the first section of the method is what is doing the conversion.[code]

I would like to know the way a stream or a string is encoded before converting it. If a string is not utf-8 it would be converted to utf-8.
View 1 RepliesWe know a tolower function will turn all A to a How to turn all à to a.The purpose is I am creating ids for databases and id need to be unique. Sometimes the same stores are written as à in one place and as a on other places. This will create duplicate id problem.So I need a function that will turn all à and all of it's variation into a. The same way ě should become e.
Basically I would use utf8_unicode collation on my databases. Letters that count as the same letter under that collation should map to the same character under this function.I need to make sure that all other east asian characers are not affected in anyway.
I have a challange to convert the detected Encoding format of Text file to selected Encoding format. Like if the detected file is in Utf-8 and if user want to convert the encoding to Utf-16 or ANCII or Unicode. It will happen on one button click and the file will convert to the desired output encoding format.
Right Now I am able to detect the encoding but conversion not happening.
I have an application that collects a signature on a handheld device, saves the data as a byte array and transmits it to the pc. This came originally from a sample from MS. The sample works fine.In my case I am sending this signature back to the pc where it is received by a VB6 application and stuffed into a database and then there is a dot net program that can or should be able to pull that data and reproduce the image.
Due to certian characters that may appear in the data such as ' " Null and such I run a little replacement routine on the data before I save it on the device and run the reverse before I try to rebuild the image. This also seems to be working.
Now if I save the data as a file on the device and load that file into my viewer the sig shows up just fine. It works with both the file that has had the replacements done as well as the one which has not. However when I transfer the data via my vb 6 application the sig is then distorted when viewed.
I have written the data to file as it comes into the pc and again after it has been parsed and in both cases it does not match what was actually in the file on the device that is being sent and I can not for the life of me figure out what is going on here.
Code:
sBytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(DataString)
bSent = wSocket.Send(sBytes)
Code:
Winsock1(Index).GetData strData, vbString
When I compare the file created on the handheld device with the one created ont he pc from the data received it gets odd. In text mode both files look alike even with the terminal font enabled but in binary mode they are different.The first noticable difference in Hex View is a ways into the first line the file from the handheld device has C3 A0 but the file written on the pc has E0 instead from there on all bytes are shifted by 1 yet when I look at it in text view no bytes are shifted and the character displayed where C3 A0 is in one and E0 in the other is the same accented a character.
I have a byte array that I'm encoding to a string:[code]Then I write that to a file via IO.File.AppendAllText.If I open that file in 010 Editor (to view the binary data) it displays as this:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 3F 0A 01 32 31 36..The original byte array contained 89 at position 11, and the encoded string contains 3F.If I change my encoding to Encoding.Default.GetString, it gives me:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 E2 80 B0 0A 01 32 31 36.
