Pass A Structure That Contains 2D Arrays As Byte To A C++ Dll
May 16, 2012
am trying to pass a structure that contains 2D arrays as Byte from VB.net to a C++ dll. The dll returns the structure with the 1D arrays filled. I am using UnmanagedType.ByValArray to pass the arrays from VB.net to C++.
Sample :
----------------------------------------- Structure -------------------------------------------------------
<Serializable(), StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi, Pack:=1)> _

Objective: Combine byte arrays, read specific sections, and then cut byte array at specified point.
Private Sub DataArrival(ByRef aBot As xyzSocket, ByRef theData As Byte())
Dim RDLength As Int32
If aBot.ReceivedData Is Nothing Then[code]....
I'm not sure if I have this right to begin with because I can't test it without having it completed.

I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login
Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER
Dim UserName() As PSTRING

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'm trying to combine 2 byte arrays and then create a new byte array that contains the contents of both but running into a problem. The error says 'Source Array was not long enough.' I'm trying to combine HeaderByteArray and bytBuffer into newByteArray. I don't understand what Source Array is not long enough means and how to correct this.[code]...

I am trying to compare two long bytearrays in vb.net and have run into a snag. Comparing two 50 meg files takes almost two mins so I'm clearly doing something wrong. I'm on an x64 machine with tons of memory so there are no issues there. Here is the code that I'm using at the moment and would like to change.[code]...

A project requires to allocate a varying number of byte arrays (buffers).
It would be ideal if the following definition would be possible:
Dim ArrayOfBuffers() as buffer(10000) as Byte
The byte arrays must be ordered sequentially because they have to be written to a file by efficient procedures destinationFile.Write(ArrayOfBuffer(3),1000,1000)
The number of buffers will change during program execution sometimes. Therefore it would be nice to be able to do a ReDim on the data structure when needed.

I am in need of encrypting a byte array, but my encryption method that I found strictly deals with strings.
Here are the two pieces of code that I am dealing with.:
The byte array (the bytes that need to be sent encrypted)
Code:
Dim outStream As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(TextBox2.Text + "$")
serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)
serverStream.Flush()

I am having some major problems with byte arrays. First off the bigger array I have the more values go missing, I originally wanted to make a huge array and just dump like a 100mb chunk of memory in it but when I did that every byte in the array returned 0. So I experimented a bit and found 4kb to be the biggest chunk size to reliably not return 0.. ok I figured I'll just loop the 4kb and glue them back together later but no such luck, after being combined into the main array the bigger the number gets the more values that should be there just aren't.
Here's a code sample:
Dim retval(4095) As Byte
Dim combval(RLen) As Byte
For i = 0 To RLen - 4095 Step 4096
ReadProcessMemory(ProcAccess, i, retval, 4096, 0)
retval.CopyTo(combval, i)
Next i
WriteLine(combval(321603964))
WriteLine(ReadMemory(321603964, 1)(0))
So with the last 2 lines if I pull up some smaller number like 8 digits or so it reports back no problem but anything slightly bigger like the number i have written in there right now is just 0. After some additional research I discovered that the reason why 4kb is the max size I can reliably get is coz that's the size memory chunks are made of, "page" as they call it. Why the memory reading drops off at higher addresses alltho I suspect it has something to do with the way memory is structured and I am just not hitting the startpoint of a page anymore due to an offset or something somewhere.

I have a byte array and I want to read it using a structure. This is a common situation with structured files having information in various places in the file and it's much easier to read the data if it's mapped with a structure. BitConverter would be great if it worked with Structures, but it doesn't. Basically, I want to read the same memory address either as a byte array or as a structure, or have a function that works like
vb.net
MyStructure = BitConverter.ToStructure(bytearray(), position)
Maybe there's a pointer method to do this?

I have an aspx page which houses an iframe. When a button is clicked, a WCF is called to produce a PDF which is read into a byte array. I was storing the byte array in a Globals.vb file like this:
Public Shared PDF_Data as Byte()
The global was loaded from the parent aspx page like this:
PDF_Data = MyWCF.Create_PDF_File(SomeVariable)
After that, the iFrame's src was set to a blank aspx page, which had the following code in the page_load event:
'Write the PDF binary data to the screen (viewer)
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite(Globals.PDF_Data.ToArray)
However, realizing that this application will have several users who will get different PDF documents, I have learned that this is not the way to go. My shared variable would be accessible to all users, a big no-no.However, I am stumped as to how I'm going to store the byte array and make it available to a child aspx page from it's parent.

The relevant code below is not achieving what I hoped it would. I intend for
1. SerialPortBufferTemp to be used as the container for each Serial Port Read.
2. _buffer should contain the resultant array from two separate Reads, the second appended directly after the first.
(E.g. 60 bytes read on the 2nd Read will be appended to the 168 bytes received on the first Read (228 total resultant byte length))
The problem with my code below is that _buffer has increase in size from 300 bytes to 600 bytes, skipped bytes 168 to 300 (leaving them all zeros) and added the remaining 60 bytes from the second read beginning at _buffer[300].
private List<byte> _buffer = new List<byte>();
byte[] SerialPortBufferTemp = new byte[300];
serialPort1.Read(SerialPortBufferTemp, 0, iBytesRead);
if (iValidRecordCtr == 0) {
_buffer.Clear();

Working with System.Cryptography, I'm noticing that data arrays up to a certain size will either conform to the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) or the size of the Key provided. So with a 48-byte Key and a 32-byte IV, up to around 42 bytes of data will encrypt to 32 bytes and 44+ will encrypt to 48 bytes of data. I've tested this with a variety of data arrays, and it seems to always come out the same... but I have a concern that higher byte values in the original array may result in longer encrypted arrays.
how or whether I can construct byte arrays that will be guaranteed to come out of Encryption at a pre-determined size?

I can open a file in a hex editor and know that each 2 digits is a byte, they are 8 digits in binary correct?
How are they stored in arrays in VB.NET?
So if I have:
Dim xx() as byte =
What would I put after the equals? The hex digits from the hex editor? (This is just a program I'm not going to save, basically I don't want to open files to get etc. I want to put in the bytes in the code.)

I have a database table of company information.It's about 50 records and contains things like company id, company name, address, phone number, shipping rate1, shipping rate2,etc.I want to load that table into a structure that I can quickly search within my code.I want to search by id to find the company, and then use the company's data to update some records.My lazy way has always been to add a listbox for each piece of data, then do an indexof on the id, then access the same index on the other listboxes.[code]

I'm trying to implement a grid based RPG style inventory (teaching myself by making a game keeps me focused ) and I have an array of "item" objects. Part of this array is a picture box, which I then lay out in code to display the inventory. how to detect when one of these picture boxes is clicked. However, I'm having a little trouble getting my head around the Directcast command.
When a box is clicked, I would like the function 'boardclicked' to pass over not only the picture box, but the whole object it is associated with it, so I can print these values out the screen (detailing the objects name, value etc) [Code]. As you can see, this passes the picture box element of the object, but I'd like to be able to pass the whole structure, so I can retrieve the other associated values.

I'm working on a project where I'm experimenting with building and implementing plugins. I have a structure called "sensor" in the plugin that contains several elements. I would like to be able to return that structure to my main program through the interface, but it doesn't work. The plugin works fine if I'm passing strings or other variable types, but when I switch from strings to my structure, I get a couple of errors. On my main form where I try to call the function, I get the error 'value of type iMyPlugin.sensor cannot be converted to frmMain.sensor'. In the plugin code, I get the error 'GetSensorReading cannot implement GetSensorReading because there is no matching function on the interface'. Is what I want to do possible, or is there a better way to do what I want?

I am currently trying to pass an array of objects as a result to VBA but Excel is complaining the following:
'Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an automation type not supported in Visual Basic.'
I have looked around on the internet and have seen similar issues but not to one I am trying to do.
My function is declared as follows:
<ComClass(Class1.ClassId, Class1.InterfaceId, Class1.EventsId)> _
Public Class Class1
#Region "COM GUIDs"

VBA is complaining about the System.Objects my question is how the heck are you supposed to pass and return arrays from .NET to VBA. Also the data that will be in the ArrayRes() is mixed type, its not just strings etc, its an array of arrays that can contain strings, integers doubles etc.
I chose VB .NET because I assumed it would be possible to map to VBA easier.
One last thing, if System.Object and Arrays in VB .NET is not the way, ie maybe theres another way via collections or lists, then Im open to that. I just need to get this data into VBA. Also I could move over to C# if needs be.
