i want to read/write to some files.Specifically my application searches text files but i also want it to search binary files. The problem is : how will i know when the file is binary and not text ? Also how will i get the hexademical contents of a binary file ?[URL]

I am trying to make a program in Visual Basic 2010 that should do the following:
-Open file as binary
-Start with position 57 and read the following characters until a 0 is found, print the whole name
Inside the binary file, all the files' names end with 0 (which should not be printed), example:
B000000.dat0
eft.dat0
G000000000.b70
For the above examples, the names that should be printed are B000000.dat, eft.dat, G000000000.b7 respectively. The code I wrote is below. The problem is that i am not sure how to read the name until the 0 is found since the names are variable in length and so are the extensions(dat, b7). Also some names have 0 in them which makes things difficult.
Using gs As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)
gs.Position = 57
Using gr As New BinaryReader(gs)
For x As Int16 = 57 To 70
Dim textvar(x) As String
textvar(x) = gr.ReadChar
text3 = textvar(x) & (gr.ReadChar)
Next
End Using
End Using
Here is my code:
Public Function ReadBinaryFileLarge(strFilename As String) As Byte()
Dim position As Integer = 0
Dim bufferSize As Integer = 4096

Is this the correct way to go about this problem? If not, how should I attack it?
can someone teach me how to open the file with binary mode in VB.NET?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to serialize object in method binary mode. However, I would like to get a file in human-unreadable format. which means i want to encrypt file. In my memory, if i want to write text into binary file in C, when I set writing mode as binary, I will get a file in human-unreadable format, but in .net, I can't get that.
View 4 RepliesI am making a utility that will read through the files in a listbox.I already have it where it can read the files but you have to have the file selected in the listbox. Im wanting it to do it to all listbox items instead of just the selected one. This is what I was using:
Dim files = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
my knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:
Dim directory As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsjtanDesktopRECV")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
Dim files As String

View 1 RepliesI see, to my supprise, when I tried to installed the Access Database Engine drivers that you cannot run both 32 bit and 64 on the same machine (I have Office 64 bit installed). If SQL can do it? So I have this nice new 64 bit machine with 64 bit office and my hands are tied... Can't correct code in 64 bit mode, can't read Access databases in 32 bit mode. I just have a hard time with 64 bit being out since XP, that this it just not fixed yet. Humm the Behemoth that is now Microsoft. Want to use OLEDB?
View 2 RepliesI am using vb 2005. I have items in a Listbox. I want to rename a highlighted(selected) item just like same way the Window Explorer. (clicking the highlighted item, then the highlight is gone and the item string is put into rectangle box and ready for type-in by user.)
View 2 RepliesI have a listbox which works perfectly fine in regular mode. I'm experimenting with the other modes which allow you to switch font.
As soon as I go to ownerdraw mode, either variable or fixed, it is blank when I try to add items to to it. It throws no error but just doesn't do anything. There has to be something else I have to do, to tell it how I want to display it. But I don't know what. I'm using version 2003 of .NET I'm using "Items.add" to add items.
I'm using this line to set font :
lbox.Font = New Font("Arial", 8.25, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point, Nothing)
Then I'm setting it unbold later.Why is it working perfectly fine without owner draw? Granted it isn't changing the font but it's working fine. What do I have to do to make it work otherwise, so that I can change the font?It's pretty much a standard listbox, without many changes made to the properties.

I don't know how I can read the first 13 characters in a variable like in C ( with char[13] ). My idea is to read the first 13 characters, skip the next 5 characters for change with 5 '-', and next read the rest of the line. I need to read as Binary because it have some special characters.

Oh right, and I'm making it comma seperated values so I can pull it up in a readable format again.

To read a record in a binary file in VB^ I would define a type with all the fields specifying strings as STRING * whatever the length of the field was.
For example:
Type Record
Field1 as string *15
Field2 to as string * 20
Field3 as String * 10
field4 as byte(10)
End Type
Dim filerecord as record
I would the open my binary fiel and do a Get#1,, filerecord
The record would be read and all the fielsd would be in place.
Now with the new Structure we cant dimension an array in the Structure And wjhen declaring strings we can't specify the length.
I tried to create structire and use a stream binary reader. and just read afixed number of bytes into the type, The program says it canvert bytes to my fiels.
So how do I do this. Or has Microsoft in their infinite wisdom left no way to do this.
How do I read a raw byte array from any file...
Dim bytes() as Byte

The problems is that it returns something like: "V???????=dQ???!u?1?" What the ____ is that anyway? So in reality it should be like "c3gm322dvf" or something like that.
