I'm trying to read back a string that I wrote into a binary file, but it's giving me problems and I don't know what's going on. I open and read my file using the code below:

There is a lot more to the file reading code, but it's proprietary and this is the part that keeps crashing. It runs fine loading the first two files, but when I try to open a third file, it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS at the input.read((char*)names, numStringBytes); line. I don't see any reason that this should crash. I'm writing the binary files in VB.NET using the below code:
Dim myFS As New FileStream(savePath, FileMode.Create)
Dim encoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
Dim stringBytes() As Byte = encoding.GetBytes("++string")

I am fairly new to vb.net but was programming a long ime with vb6 I have a binary file that is a mixture of numbers (integers and doubles) and strings, such as "Programming with VB". I read the numbers using the BinaryStreamReader.ReadInt32 and BinaryStreamReader.ReadDouble, which are no problem
View 5 Repliesfew weeks ago i heard my teacher say that it is possible to view any file as a binary array (1s and 0s). if this is possible to do in visual basic please let me know how. Also how would i go about writing an array of binary to a file? For example 01100001 in a .txt file would produce "a"

I have an XML file that is being updated via ASP.NET. The user should be able to add new nodes to the XML file AT ANY LOCATION in the node tree.
The XML file is read into a DataSet using DataSet.ReadXml(filename).
A new row is added to the appropriate DataTable, using InsertAt(row, index).
I have confirmed using a DataGrid, and using a loop (For Each dRow in Table, Response.Write..) that the new Row was inserted into the table at the correct spot (in my example code, the 3rd position).
However, The WriteXml() method is writing the node to the END of the XML tree! I can't get it to see the tree with the node in the correct location.

I am working on a program that creates a "license" file. This file is expected to be binary, containing a name, today's date, a warning date, an expiration date, and a preference of Metric or Imperial units of measurement, and essentially authorizes programs to work until the expiration date is reached, before which the warning date notifies the user that the license will expire.For this functionality to be fully utilized, the dates must not be able to be easily edited so as to prevent people from setting the date to whatever they want and keeping the program. What I have now writes each field from a String or Integer into whatever the BinaryWriter class deems should be written when I use its "write" method.I have been experimenting with the difference between Big and Little Endian encoding, which is selectable in the form.
If the entered name has no spaces, the file looks a bit unreadable, but not enough. With Big Endian, most of the Expiration Date is still showing; with Little Endian, the other two dates are mostly visible. However, using spaces in the entered name changes the format of the outputted text quite a bit, making all characters deliminated by a space, and therefore incredibly easy to change. My apologies that I cannot actually show you what the files look like.Is there a better/more accepted way of storing this data?I would like the license files to work with existing FORTRAN programs, of which read unformatted files in the general structure I've detailed, but reverse-engineering this sounds a bit difficult from what I've read and my employer has offered to rewrite the FORTRAN files to accept this new license creation program if need be.
I'm having problem reading Binary file that has two types of data in it; Strings and numeric data in decimal format.[code]...
1. The loop doesn't stop, and it gives me "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" Error..
2. The output isn't accurate, apart from a few random correct strings and numbers..
3. After the loop is fixed, how can i save the data to an Array or write it to a text file?. Can the be saved line by line so that the output file has the same number of lines?
4. As you can see in the code, I've tried writing data in a file, but it doesn't work.. Messagebox does show some data (even though it's not accurate), the file however doesn't contain any data..

View 4 RepliesWe have a field called employee number in our database. It is char(10) field. we are storing the numbers right justified. so we are storing the numbers as "1", " 2" etc. I am not sure why we started doing this because it happened before I started working here.
Because of this, each function in the business logic that has an employee number as one of the parameters needs to right justify the number. If we forget that, it won't update the database properly.
My question is: Is there a better way to do this so that we don't have to format the number in each function?
I'm having an issue with a page I created that was working fine two months ago. Nothing has changed in structure of the SQL tables and I have even done an insert within SQL to the table and all works fine with SQL. So the problem lies within the code. I'm getting this error:
Input string was not in a correct format.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

If I comment out line 73 and run it, I get the same error on 74. If I comment out 73, 74 and 75 the code runs to the end fine, it just doesn't insert the data into my table. It was working just fine and now it's not working.

My error message is as listed in the header "Input string was not in a correct format" however the stack trace is even more cryptic [code]...
This is worse due to the fact that nowhere in the project does it use "ParseDouble". I believe that this has something to do with the objectfactorylibrary but can't pin anything down.
With the following snippet
Foo = IIf(String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtFoo.Text), 0, Integer.Parse(txtFoo.Text.Trim))
I get the error when I submit the field without a value: "Input string was not in a correct format." I don't have any space or something else and String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtFoo.Text) returns true.
I am having some trouble with a DataBound TextBox with the Decimal DataType.
Here is the situation:
- I have a TextBox bound to a column in DataTable in a strongly typed DataSet.
- I have an ErrorProvider that has the BindingSource set to the same binding source as the TextBox.
- The Datatype of the column bound to the textbox is Decimal.
- I have my business rules set up as Partial Classes in the Dataset.
- I am capturing the ColumnChanged event in the Partial Class for the DataTable in question.
The issues are:
- The ColumnChanged event fires in all cases except when there is a data constraint. For example you enter non-numeric values in the TextBox.
- Once you violate a data constraint you cannot leave the TextBox empty even though the column is nullable.
In the above scenario the error icon appears beside the TextBox with the error "input string was not in a correct format."
There seems to be an internal event triggering before my business rule logic is able to process.Desired functionalty:Bypass this internal event and present my own error message to the user using the business logic coded in the partial class.
I have a dropdown list which extracts data from my SQL database and gives the users two options to choose from (Weekly / Monthly). The database has an ID for each of these. Weekly is set to 1 and Monthly is set to 2. This drop down is linked to a gridview which extracts / displays the data based on the selected item. All of this works perfectly fine. This issue I have is that I want to add some code in my Page_ load event to populate a text box with the selected item. I would also like to set the dropdownlist as default to weekly when a users access thie page. I thought that the two following bits of code would work but I get the message 'Input string was not in a correct format'.

I'm wondering in figuring out, how to send emial on click of button in vb.net in defined format with some links.
Currently my status is: I created a dropdown which load the list of some codes from sql.In sql i have created a table which maintains code and emailBody. Now when I Select some code in the dropdown and click on the "button". I wants to retrieve the emailBody associated with the code in the same format which i Have in sql. currently I'm able to retrieve the emialBody but it is sending as paragraph when I check the email. But while bebugging dataset xml view is in correct format.
and also how to add links to the text in sql?
Within a project of mine I have created a group box that I am using to convert an input temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit with the click of a button. The input is a text box value, manually entered. However, VB is giving me an error when I try to parse the string input of the text box so that I can convert the temperature values. I want the temperature to be converted for any values entered into the input box. Here is the code I am using...
Private Sub Button9_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click
TempC = Double.Parse(Text3.Text)
TempF = Double.Parse(Text4.Text)
[code].....
The error tells me that "the input string was not in a correct format"
The code works when I replace the input strings with an actual string, but again, I want the user to simply type in a value to the temperature box, hit convert, and then receive the conversions.
I have written the following code:
Dim E_ID As Integer
E_ID = Convert.ToInt16(Request.QueryString("ID"))
But when it executes, I always get a FormatException:
error: Input string was not in a correct format.
What could be causing this?i am sending value like this.
