How To Pass Integer As Unsigned Parameter In .Net
Jul 16, 2010I'm new to VB.Net. I'm using a library call setInstance(ByVal instance As UInteger) in my VB.Net code. The parameter I need to pass is an Integer. Is there anything I need to do to convert the integer parameter to an unsigned integer? The number is garunteed to be positive and less than 10.

Jul 25, 2011I have an application that deals with some rather large number values. I wanted the values to allow a roll over so I compiled the program with Remove Integer Overflow Checks turned on. The 32 bit numbers roll over just fine but the 64 bit unsigned integers still throw an over flow exception. Is this a bug in the compiler?

Jun 9, 2010I need to parse a binary stream in .NET to convert a 16 byte unsigned integer. I would like to use the BinaryReader.ReadUIntXX() functions but there isn't a BinaryReader.ReadUInt128() function available. I assume I will have to roll my own function using the ReadByte function and build an array but I don't know if this is the most efficient method?
View 3 RepliesVS 2010 Signed And Unsigned Integer NOT: For Hex File Checksum Computation?
Feb 22, 2012I have been trying to compute the checksum for a line of hex code. This is to create a hex file which will be loaded onto an embedded micro.Some of you guys may not know how this is done so very briefly:
a line of hex bytes:
: 10 01 00 00 21 46 01 36 01 21 47 01 36 00 7E FE 09 D2 19 01 40
The underlined bytes are taken and summed. (in this case the decimal 960). and the bold is the checksum Only the 8LSB (or single least significant byte) is needed to compute the checksum... which in this case, 960 = 03C0 in hex, so only C0 is needed.Two's complement is then taken:
step 1) logical not of C0 which is
step 2) add one (integer)
BIN...........DEC...HEX
[code]....
So here is the code I have been using: (quick mention that in the string passed, the hex bytes are all grouped together, there are no space characters)
Public Sub CreateLine(ByVal Data As String)
'Dim BDataArray(DataLength) As Byte
Dim IDataArray(Data.Length) As Integer
[code]....
where i get into trouble is where i commented 'i get into trouble'. My code works, but it's rather crude Now, in that line i first convert the hex value (string) "SChecksum" into an integer. I want to NOT this, so I get my step 2 from my explanation. However, the results appears to be a signed logical NOT. which gives me the wrong answer. My hashed togther version simply subtracts 256 before the not, in order to give me the correct answer.
Basically, I would love for someone to chime in and point out the flaws in my function, and push me towards figuring out the 'proper' way of doing this. Also I can't quite wrap my head around what would happen in the case a string were passed to my function that is over 16 bits, but I imagine I would have to subtract a larger value than 256, before doing the NOT in this case?(whilst we're on the subject of functions, I've used a 'sub', in which case should I used a sub, and which case should I use a function?).

Mimic C Behavior :: Adding Unsigned Integers?

Pulling Unsigned Left Shift Using Option Strict?
Dec 23, 2010How do I pull off an unsigned left shift in VB.Net while using Option Strict? Maybe I am doing it wrong, but while trying to implement my own IP2Long function (I have my reasons), I'm testing things to make sure I have my head wrapped around the conversion process properly. Tried a few tests, all seem to cause errors.
Dim a As Int32
a = CUint(172 << 24) 'Constant expression not representable in type 'UInteger'
a = DirectCast((172 << 24), UInt32) 'Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'UInteger'
a = Convert.ToUInt32(172 << 24) 'Compiles, but throws an OverflowException
The last one is especially befuddling. 172 << 24 is a mere 2,885,681,152, well under the limit imposed by the UInt32 data type. My assumption is .NET is doing the left-shift in signed mode, then tries to convert, to unsigned, and this tosses up some kind of error. Basically, my question boils down to this: why do unsigned numeric have to act like such hacks to the .NET framework at times? Is it really that hard for Microsoft to make Unsigned data types intrinsic to the framework?
Unmanaged DLL Structure Conversion (unsigned Char Pointer)
Oct 28, 2009I'm making a "wrapper" for an unmanaged DLL (written, I'm fairly certain in C). I have a c++ "wrapper" that I'm trying to convert to VB.net. I've got most of the program working, but I've hit a brick wall.
I'm trying to convert the following two structures from their c++ versions to their vb.net versions. I cannot be sure which is the problem because both must be passed at the same time. The error I am getting is thrown by the object and indicates "Invalid structure size specified". I can cause this error on other objects when I either don't set the dwSize variable, leave off a parameter or change the parameter type incorrectly. Note that the dwSize parameter is supposed to contain the size of each structure. I'm successfully calculating that for my other structures and I'm using the same method on these and the results appear correct, so I do not believe the problem is found there. The object uses a lot of structures and the rest of them are working. These two are the only ones with a) an unsigned character pointer b) an unsigned long array and c) doubles.
C++ versions:
CODE:
I don't think I'm missing any parameters - the help file seems to agree with me on this, but it's theoretically possible that there is something missing (though I don't think so for other reasons as well). My suspicion is that it's dwPalette, pImageData or pMaskData with (in my uninformed opinion) more suspicion on the pImageData and pMaskData.
Reading Signed And Unsigned Values From A Stream In Both Byte Orders?
May 23, 2011I need to read signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit values from a file stream which may be little-endian or big-endian (it happens to be a tiff file which carries the byte order indicator at the start).I initially started by writing my own functions to read the values and was able to do so for unsigned values. e.g.
Public Function ReadUInt32() As UInt32
Dim b(4) As Byte
input.Read(b, 0, 4)
[code]....
But then I started looking at signed values and my brain broke.As an alternative, I found the IO.BinaryReader which will let me read signed values directly but doesn't seem to have any way to indicate that the data is big-endian or little-endian.Is there a nice way of handling this? Failing that, can someone tell me how to convert multiple bytes into signed values (in both byte orders)?

Convert Positive And Negative Math.Sin (waveform Output Values) Into (unsigned) Byte Array?
Apr 19, 2011I'm creating an emulator for a device to simulate wave forms. My challenge is that when I try to convert the output of the following code, I can't convert the Math.Sin's double output into byte values that lend themselves to the byte array format required by an existing graphing control as listed at bottom below. I''m not sure how to handle this when the sin function creates negative values but the byte values will need to be positive and basically 'shifted up' so that anything over 127 is negative. (0 - 255) unsigned. BitConverter.GetBytes has been suggested but THIS is the result of that attempt.

Error After Implicit Conversion Of 1 Dimensional Array Of Integer To IEnumerable Of Integer() ) ?
Apr 25, 2011I'm trying to create a linked list of an array of integers. Why is the following implicit conversion required?
When I run the code that contains that conversion, I get the following error.
As a real-time data acquisition user control data (a packet of an array of bytes) arrives every second, is converted into an integer array and inserted into a linked list.
The most recently arrived data is painted as coordinates on a grid at the right of a PictureBox using Graphics.DrawLine (pen,X1,Y1,X2,Y2).
The oldest data (arriving 120 seconds ago) will be drawn at the leftmost portion of the Picturebox.
Why a linked list rather than a list? To display 120 views of time sequence data, the draw routine the most recently inserted node to a node that points to Nothing. How do I limit the length of the linked list to 120 nodes and always ensure that the last node points to Nothing?
