I'm trying to read a byte array into a string however it's array is filling up from a dll in the following format. [Code] now its decoding the first byte but I think because of the next [0] it's not completing the whole array. This is the code that I'm using:
Radiotext = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(szRetRDS)
I did think about writing it into another byte array excluding the [0] but unsure how I would go about this.
How would I copy/convert a string containing an ascii representation of hex values in to a byte array containing the actual hex values? For example, I have a variable containing the hex values delimited by spaces (I can change the delimiter):

I'm trying to get a string from a byte array previously read from memory
i can get the string like this
dim mem as string= ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(memory) or dim mem as string= UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memory) but when i try to concatenate this with another string i get a strange result dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem & " problem string" no matter what comes after mem in the concatenation it seems like it is not there when in fact it is because when i try this (mem has two chars in it) dim result as string = "this is you memory string " & mem(0) & mem(1) & " problem string" problem string appears so what i assume is that there are some vbCrLf chars in the string after reading (or is it from the conversion?)

How do I read a raw byte array from any file, and write that byte array back into a new file?
View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 5 RepliesSome binary files have application variables at the end if you open it with a text editor you can see these variables. Now when I read these files into the processor memory the program does not work properly, however if I read a file without this it works fine. So how can I read a byte[] array to EOF so that when I pass that byte array into win32 api create-process it will create the process without corrupting the program?

View 3 RepliesI 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?

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to make an application that can read a 12 byte hex string from the serial port and display it into a text box, the source is a RFID module that is connected to my USB port using a RS232-USB converter.My first problem was accessing the text box in the datarecieved event due to invalid cross-threaded operation. Upon googling that, I copy/pasted the code I needed to get it work, these are all the cross threading functions.The OpenPort function and Datarecieved event are my own code, the rest I got off google. The application then worked, but I would get an incomplete code, the first swipe I would get all 12 digits, and at every other swipe, the first byte would vanish. Upon some more reading, I decided to make an array, the size of the incoming data (shown in the code below), but now I get the cross-threading error again.I know there's something wrong with the way I'm using the array.

I have an activex control that outputs a template object to the client, which gets serialized to a byte array. My attempts to put this byte array in a hidden field for post back to the server have given mixed reults, in that the size of the byte array decreases when sent to the server. My best guess is that the byte array is being truncated when put into a (string) hidden field.
I convert the byte array to a HEX string on the client side before passing over to the server, then converting it back on the server - HEX to byte array. If found some examples of how to do this in C#, VB.net but I haven't a clue how to accomplish this on the client - vbscript, javascript, etc,
I'm guessing something like this would get it done on the server, but how would I accomplish this on the client side?
