I am reading data from a socket (as bytes) and storing this data in a string. Then later i need to access specific bytes within the string and do some math with them. However the bytes that I read back from the string are not what I am expecting.

I m into automation development of FMCG products using Micro-controllers. I get real time data Barcode 2D from TCP/IP connection. My task is to compare the result do some Computation with them and Store the incoming Barcode and results into a Excel sheet in a folder. I m successful with the basic working. Am currently working at slow speed of 1 barcode(22 char info) per second from the TCP/IP data (barcode scanner). Now, comes the real issue. I need to process atleast 5 barcodes per sec ( <200ms per process). I m partially successful with 3 Barcode per second(300 ms per process). so, thats like 300ms per processing. I need to achieve less than 200ms for entire processing. I have used threads and timers. but I m unable to achieve. Seems like storing in Excel takes more than 250ms. Since i come from micro controllers background 1msec is a lotta time to process for me. I m not sure how much time does it take and trust me i find it difficult to guage the time here.
View 1 RepliesI have a TCP Socket Client (using the Socket Class) that is connected to a simple TCP socket server (just for testing)I have this code snippet :
Dim aSocket as Socket
While aSocket.Connected = True
byteRead = aSocket.Receive(dataByte) 'number of bytes
[code].....
The application is working good, i can receive data on port 48888 and i can write it to my logfile, but my problem is when i convert bytes to string. I have the correct data, but all the bufferReadSize is filled with space. Example: if i send only: test, my log file will have test and 4 lines of space only. In my code, right after Dim clientdata As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes).
I tried to trim(), replaceI() or any string manipulation, and it's not working!%!? Is there anything i need to do before i can start manipulating that string?
I have a problem reading data from an RFID-reader. I connect to the reader by tcp and wait for DataAvailable to be true, then reading the data until I got a end of data character. Then I just go back and waiting for a new DataAvailable. This is done in a own thread for the function.
There seems to be some kind of timeout, If I don't got any data in a couple of minutes, then it just sits there in the do/loop waiting for DataAvailable. I hold the card to the RFID reader, it beeps, but there is no data available. I don't get any exeptions, and the information says that the clientsocket is still connected. Are there anything more I can check?
If I put the card to the reader in a minute-interval it seems as this will never occur. So 2-3 minutes idle:ing seems to do this.
Here are my code to read data from the socket, I have taken away some irrelevant code:
Sub test(ByVal ip As String, ByVal port As Integer)
' this sub is meant to run forever

I've always used this approach while implementing data layer DLL for web application:
1) put datasets into the dll project
2) use a helper class with a method like this:
public shared sub settCnnStr(strconnhere as string)
My.Settings.Item("connectionString") = strconnhere
end sub
3) when I need to use the dll I call a method like this (usually into global.asax):
xxxxxxx.helper.setCnnStr("yyyyyyyyyyyyyy")
This method always worked for me nicely but I'd like to know if this method could have serious drawback or if there's a better solution.
In a resource string, not one that you declare in the code, but rather in the resources itself, how do I store multiple pieces of data in it?
View 7 RepliesI've inherited a tested function that processes incoming data from a .NET Serial Port. (Dim RXBuffer as string = serialport1.ReadExisting) I've written a different part of the application that processes a byte array as received from an asynchronous .NET socket.
Is there a way I can convert the byte array into a string as if it arrived from the serial port?
I would prefer to rewrite a very long 'if statement' into byte array functions syntax that look like:
dim b as boolean = IsBitSet(state_buffer(i), j) 'rather than:
dim b as boolean = (Asc(Mid(RXPacket.Pdu, CInt((i - (i Mod 8)) / 8) + 1, 1)) And CInt(2 ^ (i Mod 8))) > 0
My program so far reads a certain webpage's source code and places it in a textbox. This much has already been accomplished.
Now I need to pick certain strings out of the rather large amount of text data and have the lines stored in variables, but the trick of it is, the exact string is unknown. The exact function should be, that the code finds certain tags from the source code, say <td> and </td> and takes the string data in between those tags, what ever it may be.
I use an OLEDB connection to read from an excel database, and this loop to read in all of the data from each of the columns
While reader.Read()
For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
temp = reader(i).ToString + ControlChars.Tab
output_file.Write(temp)
[code]....
Some of the columns contain date information, which are read in fine (usually as a string "2/20/2011" or so), but the headers of those columns are read in as a blank "". The headers for all the other columns read in fine, but not for the date containing columns.
I have a modbus TCP device that I have managed to connected to through my VB source code.
I want to poll (continueously read) data from certain registers of the device, and store the polled data in a file (text,csv, excel).
Data binding should be an extremely simple thing to manage but I can't find a SIMPLE solution to the following problem.
I have two forms
Form1 contains a 4x4 MSFlexGrid (unfortunately an unmanaged COM object but I can merge cells, which I can't do with a managed Datagrid)
Form2 contains other controls which change the data in the Flexgrid.
I connect the two with a Public 4x4 array. Form2 changes the data in this array. I can update the grid data by reading the array. But how do I bind the Grid to the array so that it auto-updates - which is the whole point of binding isn't it?

Given the following information
Public Enum Request As Byte
None = 0
Identity = 1
License = 2
End Enum
Protected mType As Communication.Request
mType = Communication.Request.Identity
Debug.Print (BitConverter.GetBytes(mType).Length.tostring)
2
Why does bitconverter report that mType is a length of 2. I would have thought that passing a Byte into BitConverter.GetBytes would just return the Byte. I mean it's no big deal because it's only sending a very small block of data across a TCP Socket, but I'm just intrigued why it thinks it's 2 bytes.
I have a device which send me data over a particular port. The data is in XML Format.
Now I already did a small console application which listen for the data and print out the data on the screen.
Now my plans are to deserialize the xml data or I will create the insert statement into the database.
1) The device send me the data every second (if there is data to send me).
2) I cannot say how much data the device is going to send me.
How can I make sure to capture all data without loose any information..
I built a server to receive data from clients.But how can I know the length of every data package.

am developing an application where a client send data to server (socket Programing) and the server recevices it and shows it to the user through a list view but the client can send the data any time they want and it should show on the list view automatically... So i have put a timer and in tick event i have written the code like this the below code is working fine in onload event but then only once the client can send the data to the
server.

I have some questions about arrays.
1) Lets say I open a file in a byte array and I need to add 5 bytes of data at the beginning. How would I go in doing that? ex: attaching to arrays together.
2) How would I go in adding 1 byte of data in a bye array?
All i need to do is open part of a file in bytes. Add a letter and 2 numbers to it at the begging and a number at the end.All i need to know is how to attach 2 byte arrays together and how can u add a byte of data to an array.
I need to store data in a grid like this:
{0,1,2,3}
{4,5,6,7}
{8,9,10,11}

I know I can use multi dimensional arrays, but Is there any easier way to do it? Also I need to get values from it like myData.Item(0,1) would return 1.
I've linked the two using the standard data sourcing method and I now need to use the data that is read in to it on another form. The idea of this is that I'm creating a wage calculator and the employees are stored in a database and can be viewed on a vb form, however, I now need to use the data of their pay/hr to be used on another form to calculate the wage.I have tried to declare a public variable across the two separate forms, and on the button that takes you to the other to set this variable as the contents of the text box which is displaying the pay/hr using the following
Public Class ManageUsers
Public HrlyRate As Decimal 'Declaring global variable to use between forms
'Some other code in between relating to rest of the stuff on the form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RatePerHourTextBox.Text = HrlyRate 'Saving private variable to global variable
Calculation.Show()
End Sub
End Class
Then on the other form I have used this code to do the calculation:
Public Class Calculation
Private Sub calculation_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

I'm having trouble trying to put together some code for an array. What I'm trying to do is get data entered from a text box and store it in an array.What I then need to do is take the entered data and make it appear in reverse order to what it's been entered and show this.

I'm trying to learn visual basic and i've made my application all work and now I just need to make the listview save data.As far as I know, I can create a database with all the relavent tables in it for each column in the listview. For example in a database, I will have a table that will have four columns because I have a four column listview. Each row must be tied together though.
The other option is to create a text file and use some xml or seperate them with commas. which one should I go with? I'd rather do the database one, but I really have no idea how to go about it.

How can I get it to send the old changes and the new changes. I know I will need to somehow temp store the old values to use them in the email, but I can't figure out how to do it. I don't want to store them in an actual database table.

I am using VB.NET and I am designing a generic network architecture in which data can be transmitted in various ways. I am wanting to strip down things as much as possible, and I do not want to transmit in plain text. My question today is regarding ideas and example code (if applicable) as far as parsing binary data that is sent over the wire in VB.NET.I want each packet to have a very generic architecture such as <packet type> <address> <payload> or whatnot. I understand that I can use certain bytes as delimiters for these packet fields. I don't necessarily want to serialize everything being that for security reasons, the same library has to be used to deserialize the data.
a) Put my protocol into binary data where each field is delimited using a certain byte
b) Parse that data from binary at the other end.
Once again, I don't want to use plaintext since this can cause a bunch of overhead in comparison.
