Takes A Single Byte As An Argument?

Dec 4, 2009

Ok, this is going to be a bit bizarre, but I'm looking for something strange, so all suggestions are welcome:I have a function that takes a single byte as an argument. From that byte, without using any random function, I need to create two other random bytes. I specifically cannot use the Random object, but fortunately, the other bytes do not need to be random relative to the argument. Also, the argument is random.

Therefore, one other byte can be created by XORing with &HFF, which will create the inverse of the argument. Since the argument is random, the inverse is also random. I need one other technique that will create that last pseudo-random byte. I thought about bit shifting, but that results in something quite a bit less than random (it will be biased high or low, depending on the bit shifting).

One possibility that I am trying is to use CByte(100000/arg). Does anybody have any other suggestions?

EDIT: The result of that equation for all values of the argument is a very interesting pattern. It will probably be fine, but I'd still take suggestions.

Is A Delegate Type And Requires A Single 'addressof' Expression As The Only Argument To The Constructor

May 10, 2010

I got 2 classes in a form, and I would like to pass a value from a textbox to the other class, so I decided to use Deligate.

Below is the code.

Public Delegate Sub delPassSize(ByVal text As TextBox)
'To get size from Class Calculate(Class 2)
Public Sub GetSize(ByVal txtForm1 As TextBox)

[code]....

and the error message is 'cls.Getsize is a delegate type and requires a single 'addressof' expression as the only argument to the constructor.'

Converting A Hex Byte Into A Single?

Feb 7, 2010

I have a Generic List of Bytes with Hexadecimal values stored in it. for example, elements 0 to 3 contain 42 9E D1 EC which as a single, is equal to 79.41. I've tried using:

dim foo as string = ""

foo = foo + system.convert.tosingle(byteArray(i)).ToString

Byte Conversion To Single Number

Aug 4, 2010

I am totally new with VB.NET. I have started coding for Modbus protocol. The response that I receive from the slave is as below -

01 = byte slave id
03 = byte function code
04 = byte -no. of bytes sent by slave
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register LSB)
64 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register LSB)
2bytes for crc

Now I want the value of 64 00 00 00 into floating point number in Vb.net . I think in vb.net its single as its 32bit floating precision number. Now the bytes that I need are 00 64 00 00 but if i process in this way the output is different, so I tried manually putting the data into the byte array and found out that I need 64 00 00 00 to be processed so that i can get desired output.

Getting And Setting Single Bits In A Byte-array Using .net?

Jul 5, 2011

I have a byte array with 512 Elements and need to get and set a single bit of a byte in this array.The operation must not change any other bits, only the specified one.So if I have a byte like &B00110011 and would like to change the third bit to 1 it should be &B00110111.

Like this:Dim myarray(511) as byte myarray(3).2 = 1 ---> This would change the third bit (start counting at 0) of the third byte to 1 I know it should be easily possible using bit-masking but I don't have the time to try for days to get it working.

Change Byte() To Structs For Readability And Convert Struct To Byte Stream For Socket Send()

Dec 8, 2009

I just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I

1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and

2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?

Truncating Data Types From Int To Byte, Transferring 8 LSBs To The Byte?

May 16, 2011

Is it possible in VB to truncate a larger data type ( an int with a value greater than 255) to a smaller one, say a Byte (which only goes up to 255) in a way such that the 8LSBs of the integer are copied to the newly created byte. I have tried this using CType with the following code, however it does not work.

Dim TestByte As Byte = CType(Test, Byte)
Where the variable "Test" is an integer with a value of 419. This code always results in the Overflow exception.

Convert Byte Array Into A String Like So Dim Byt As Byte()?

Jan 25, 2011

I 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.

Converting Unsigned Byte To Signed Byte?

I would like to know how to convert a unisgned byte to signed byte

Atm I got this

a
Function readSignedByte() As SByte
'-128/127
Dim b As SByte

[Code]....

it doesn't work one that well works for numbers positive over 127 if lets say ReadByte() has 128 it would give overflow error which I don't want it to give I would like it to overflow the number to negivate value aka its signed value.

Querying A Single Column And Displaying All Results In A Single Textbox?

Sep 5, 2010

I am trying to make a list, separated by a comma, of entries from a single column in a SQL database. I have been spending the last several days searching for a way to do this, but every thing I found either didn't work, or wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

The query will pull all the email address that are not null. What I need to know is how to take the result of that query and make it look like this:

email0@address.com, email1@address.com, email2@address.com, etc, etc, ...

I feel like I should know this, but for the life of me, I can't remember nor can I find it in any of the textbooks I have.

I am using Visual Basic 2010 and SQL Server 2005. I also have access to Visual Basic 2005 if needed.

Program Takes All Cpu?

May 10, 2010

A couple days, I figured up a working program and it was def. faster than what we needed. Now, adding a couple more loops, the program barely uses any memory, but the cpu used spikes up to 90+ and just letting it sit doesn't help.I tried taking out the couple loops I put in, but it does not revert back to being fast. It's nothing big, but since dealing with 1000+ excel files a day, I'd rather not do that by hand.

how many infinite loops vb.net can support without dragging down the system? I know, infinite loops are poor design, but it works.
