I want to store data in binary format in VB. Are there any disadvantages to use the functions fileopen, fileput, and fileclose instead of serialization using binaryformatter object. Using these functions seems to be easier and more compact.
View 1 RepliesI need to store/retrieve a bit from a data table of 3.268.760 bits long.
Using w As New BinaryWriter(File.Open("test.bin", FileMode.Create))
for x = 1 to 3268760
For i = 1 To 3268760[code]....
the w.write(?) stores a boolean value meaning 0/1 for false/true values, but Vb.net seems to use an whole byte to store this data which is too expensive for my table (3.268.760^2).Is there a pratical way to store/retrive single bits from a file using vb.net? (meaning as little as possible conversion to other types).

How to convert jpg format into binary format using VB code ?
View 3 RepliesI have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

View 1 RepliesI realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

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:
ifstream input([filePath UTF8String], ios::in | ios::binary);
int numStringBytes;
input.read((char*)&numStringBytes, 4);

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'm working on an application that is used by English and French users. French users have their computer's regional settings that make the decimal "," instead of "." and the number spacing " " instead of "," So, a French user will input a value "9,78" in a text box. I need to make this value "9.78" so I can safely store it in a database. How can I convert this to the US number format?

View 1 RepliesI have to text file in the following format :
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
I want to get all the words before the tab into one array or to create a new text file and the all the words after the tab into another array or create a new text file too.
Here my function to get the words before tab into an array :
Protected Sub MakeWordListBeforeTab()
Dim filename As String = "D:lao�0001.txt"
'read from file'
[Code].....
I wrote the above function to get all words before tab but I got all the words into array. I've been trying to use the Split method above. What is another method to split those words ?
I know this can be done with regular expression but I don't know regex yet. If you can show me how to get this done with regex it'll be awesome.

View 2 RepliesI am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --

I want to poll (continueously read) data from certain registers of the device, and store the polled data in a file (text,csv, excel).
I have an application that uses Dataset.WriteXML to create a small backup before data is syncronized to a data store (less than a meg).This application has worked well for 5 years now, and all of a sudden with the installation of XML 6.0 SP2 the XML document is not working correctly.I have multiple tables within a Dataset (Company, Contact, Notes, etc...)When WriteXML is called, the first table should be Company, however, the first table is being named Contact with the Company Data in it. The Notes table is being called Contact and so forth. In other words it's not giving the correct names to the tables in the XML File.This appears to be a bug, which is causing great distress on all the companies who have been using this program.

View 14 RepliesI am currently using a binary formatter to serialize/deserialize some data objects. Some of the properties in the classes are Strings. When the data is written you can open the file with a text editor and can see the raw String data. Is there any way to encrypt the Strings or the entire object before it is serialized? I have looked at this thread here [URL] but the code is in C# and the free converters I tried for some reason did not like the code. This is the code I am using currently.
