Data Conversion

I've been brute forcing a conversion of binary data in a byte array into
ASCII encrypted hex (2 chars = 1 byte). Is there a formatting scheme that
will allow me to do this? Here's a snipet of the code I've been using:

For Count = 0 To myBuffer.Ubound (0)

If Len(Hex(myBuffe r(Count))) < 2 Then

ByteValue = "0" & Hex(myBuffer(Co unt))

Else

ByteValue = Hex(ReadBuffer( Count))

End If

DisplayString.A ppend(ByteValue )

Next Count

ByteValue = "0" & Hex(myBuffer(Co unt))

Else

ByteValue = Hex(ReadBuffer( Count))

End If

DisplayString.A ppend(ByteValue )

Next Count


I would write:

For Count = 0 To myBuffer.Ubound (0)
DisplayString.A ppend(myBuffer( Count).ToString ("X2")
Next Count

Does this help?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for posting in the community.

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you want to convert a byte array
into a string, where each byte will be convert into two chars.
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

I agree with Armin's suggestion. Also what do you mean by the "Formatting
scheme", if you have any concern on this issue ,please post here.

Best regards,

Hi all, we are now planning to upgrade our application from a non-unicode version to a unicode version. The application's backend is a SQL Server 2000 SP3.

So I thought we need to extract these data out to the new SQL Server which is using Unicode (I assume it means converting them to nchar, nvarchar type of fields for I...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
