bytes ( 00 00 00 ) I'm trying to remove from a specific set of locations within a byte stream. The following code is what I'm using. I tried using the Trim function as listed in the code at the bottom but that had no effect. I'm extracting from a fixed byte range and there are null values after the end of valid ascii characters. Dim temp() As Byte = GetByteArray(FrameData, 3, 32)
Private Function GetByteArray(ByVal MyArray As System.Array, ByVal Start As Integer, ByVal Length As Integer) As Byte()
I have a function that returns a byte(), the only problem is that the array most times is to long and has 4 or 5 excess null bytes. I want to remove them and tried everything, but I cant seem to find anything that works.
I've converted an application for connecting to a vpn server and starting a remote desktop connection from vb6 to vb.net. But now when I'm trying to run the program I get an ArgumentNullException I've tried searching for a solution but I've been unable to find one. Below is my code:
How to correctly convert string containing upper ASCII characters to byte array besides looping through each character and filling the array using AscW(chr)?I know I can do something like:
Code: Dim bSourceData As Byte() = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes(sourcedata)
But this only works for lower ascii characters (0-127).Instead of ASCIIEncoding I can specify encoding myself (System.Text.Encoding.Getencoding(encoding).GetBytes(sourcedata)). But I have to specify correct encoding in this case, otherwise most of special characters are converted to "?". What should I do if I don't know the encoding?
I am trying to Convert a data field stored as IMAGE ( SQL Server 2000) using Java to a byte array using VB.NET Java uses signed numbers for a Byte array where as VB dosent. Can somone point me to how I can covert java byte array to VB byte array?
I have 2 byte arrays. I want to merge these two byte array into 1 byte array.Usually, I just create a new byte array with length = byte array #1 + byte array #2. Then copy byte array #1 and #2 to the new byte array.do I have more efficient way to merge 2 byte array using VB.NET and .Net 4?
I would like to create a function so that I can pass a string and it will return me the binary value, I will use this later in other parts of the script but I am getting an error that I don't understand.
Private Function ConvertToMD5(ByVal OldPassword As String) As Byte Dim NewPassword As String = "" 'The string we wish to encrypt
[code]....
On the "Return hashedDataBytes I get "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'"
I have a byte array that I convert into a string like so Dim byt As Byte() = New Byte(255) {} s = New String(Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(byte))My question is when I look at the string in a debuger its clearly a normal string but when I compare it to what I know its supposed to be it doesnt equal. So i did a quick check and for some reason its return a string thats the length of 256 characters. So i did a s.trim and it still is 256 characters long.
given my code below, I'm trying to figure out how to create an array of 1 byte containing 7 bits. So the byte in the array would contain 0111111 to correspond to mData_Out's boolean values. How would I change the following code? [Code]
I am trying to get a count of all the times a byte sequences occurs in another byte sequences. It cannot however re-use a bytes if it already counted them. For example given the string let's assume the byte sequence was k.k it would then find only 3 occurrences rather than 5 because they would be broke down like: [k.k].[k.k].[k.k]. and not like [k.[k].[k].[k].[k].k] where they over lap and essentially just shift 2 to the right.
Ideally the idea is to get an idea how a compression dictionary or run time encoding might look. so the goal would be to get down to just 2 parts, as (k.k.k.) is the biggest and best symbol you can have.
I'm reading a binary file. Apparently its older, and some of its values are based not on position, but on null terminated bytes. Position 17 thru 35 represents a value, however, if their is a null byte at 30, then you get garbage if you try to read 17 thru 35 as a value...
I need to read, specifically, from 17 to 29 in this instance because pos 30 is a null byte.
Have to read it byte by byte, no problem. Not sure though the syntax of comparing a null byte specifically.
If you need a sample of the binary file, I can post it.
i am working with serial communication in vb.i need to know how to get &h1 to be &ho1 to represent the byte o1 in hex or 0000 0001 in binary.i cant remeber how to parse the byte and represent it with two characters instead of one.
I must search a binary string for a pattern. This worked fine in VB6 using Get to read a file into a string and using InStr to search for the pattern. The conversion from VB6 to VB.NET changed Get to FileGet and warned of new behavior, but I don't see anything in the FileGet documentation about not being able to read 0 value bytes.
I don't mind at all changing to a new method, but ultimately I must get the data into a string rather than an array.
I didn't think it fair to post a comment on Fredrik Mörk's answer in this 2 year old post, so I thought I'd just ask it as a new question instead..NB: This is not a critiscm of the answer in any way, I'm simply trying to understand this all before delving into memory management / the marshal class.
In that answer, the function GetByteArray allocates memory to each object within the given array, within a loop.Would the GetByteArray function on the aforementioned post have benefited at all from allocating memory for the total size of the provided array:
Dim arrayBufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(<arrayElement>) * <array>.Count)
I just wonder if allocating the memory, as shown in the answer, causes any kind of fragmentation? Assuming there may be fragmentation, would there be much of an impact to be concerned with? Would allocating the memory in the way I've shown force you to call IntPtr.ToInt## to obtain pointer offsets from the overall allocation pointer, and therefore force you to check the underlying architecture to ensure the correct method is used*1 or is there a better way? (ToInt32/ToInt64 depending on x86/64?)
*1 I read elsewhere that calling the wrong IntPtr.ToInt## will cause overflow exceptions. What I mean by that statement is would I use:
Dim anOffsetPtr As New IntPtr(arrayBufferPtr.ToInt## + (loopIndex * <arrayElementSize>))
I've read through a few articles on the VB.Net Marshal class and memory allocation; listed below, but if you know fo any other good articles I'm all ears![URL]..
While recently working on a program, I've run into two problems.Firstly, let me state my purpose of this program.The users enter a 'script' into the VB program, the program then saves the scripts as a '.java' file, then attempts to compile it using java
is there is any direct method or function in array class that can check if any given byte array is a subarray of other array?or should i loop through the each byte of main array to see if smaller array exists in that or not?
given the following Sub, how would I initialize byte array 'temp'to zeros and give it the length of the incoming byte array passed into the subroutine?
Sub ReceivePacket(ByVal buffer As Byte()) Dim temp() As Byte 'initialize to zeros and length of buffer temp = buffer.Skip(17).ToArray() End Sub
I am using a com object to maniplate data inside an external program using VB.NET. One of the methods this com object provides requires 1 string parameter.The external program, however, requires a sting of a specified length, regardless of the number of characters used. The string to be passed to the function (length 36) is a combination of the below key fields.[code]I have tried the VB6 compatability's VBFixedString type but the com object's method throws an exception due to a type mismatch.If I convert the VBFixedString back to a .NET string before passing it to the method, the first null character is again interpreted as a string terminator and the rest of my string is chopped.
So I want my program to read a file, but sadly there are null characters in the text file. The program searches for strings and I want it, when searching, to ignore all of the null values and just the actual characters. Is this possible?
This should be simple but apparently it's not. I have a text file, 694 bytes. At byte 500 there's a null in the file. I've tried reading it as text and binary and I end up with a string, 694 bytes long. But anyting I do with this string fails because it appears to stop at character 500. I can do a ? asc(mystring.substring(549,1)) and I get 9 (tab). Print character 550 and I get 0. Print character 551 and I get 32 (space). How do I get rid of this null?
how to delete row in a CSV file where there is a null value in a partcular column? I am using VB. There are three columns I am using Post Date, Account Number, and Credit Amount. I want to delete all rows with null values in the Account Number column. I am very new to VB, took one class. I am using the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser?
I have an array defined As string and the value stored in site is like "7E", "A1" and so on. But in order to send out this array through serial port. I need to change the the array to As Byte instead of using As String. How can I convert it?
The following image or RTF file illustrates how I'm trying to transform an input Byte array into an output array of Booleans. This is basically what I have listed below. figure out how to get from one array to the next while shifting values of bytes within 8 byte groupings to shift low order to high order or vica versa. What I mean by that is best seen by looking at the illustration of actual input an required output. The reason for this is that the hardware devices have registers and the display which can be seen in the links above needs to convey the disabled sensor cable cell locations.
