An even easier way to do this is to use ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(byte[] )
It will assume each character is encoded into 1 byte each, chopping the bits itself.
This assumes, of course, that one can read the data in as a byte. Since he's reading from a device, I suspect that isn't a problem, but if it is, you can use the BitConverter object to convert from int to byte[].
Edit:
By the way, hex 4241 (decimal 16961) is
01000010 01000001
in binary. If you notice, that is two values: 66 and 65, the ASCII codes for the letters B and A, respectively (note capitalization).
So the bytes will need to be re-ordered, also, as they are apparently Big Endian. There are methods in the .NET framework to do this as well.

Hi all!
Its been a while, ive got just one question, previously I was accessing my database which is on SQL Server 2005, but now that I have exported that db out and included into my project space, ive changed the connection string to access the so called 'local' db at the directory folder where my project is.
The problem is, during application runtime, I could still insert, update and delete but when I close the application and reload it back, the changes made to the DB is lost. So im wondering where ive gone wrong, btw im not using any dataset.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jensen

Alright I think I might had just solved this.
It seems that the effect is not written to the DB during debug mode but works normally when the application is executed after its been published.

Jensen

This is probably because you're using an Access database in your project folder. When you compile the app, the database file is flagged as "Copy Always" and is being copied to the target folder when your app's .EXE file is written to, usually ...\projectFolder\bin\Debug. So, every time you compile your app, you're overwriting the database your the Debug version of the app is using with the copy in your project folder. Look in your project folder tree and you should find multiple copies of your database.

I thought the OP said he was using SQL Server 2005?

It works exactly the same with an SQL Server 2005 Express database file.

how to zoom image or picture in vb.net

Don't ask twice. You can Scale a graphics object, which will zoom. Or you can use the DrawImage overload that takes a size to draw from, and a size to scale to. Depends really on what you're trying to do.

Be more descriptive of what you want to do. If you want to take an image and zoom it in, that is rather straightforward.

Why VB6? It is no longer supported by Microsoft and it is pretty much dead now.

Hey man
i Suggest you Buy a book on introduction to vb.net, i used to use vb6, but i cant now.vb6 its a toy, come and enjoy OOPS with us in .net. these guys are right its 2007, by this time you should be using VS 2005, come on man Technology is not a Culture its not stable, it gets upgraded.

First, you have to define what data you want to gather about the machine. Motherboard, BIOS, drives and their types, volumes on those drives, RAM, O/S installed, ... Then you have to can define WMI queries for all of this stuff to retrieve all the data you're looking for. You can then use the classes in the System.Management namespace to execute these queries and get as much data as you can.

Visual Studio 2005 only works with .NET 2.0, not 1.1. If you have VS2005 installed, you automatically have .NET Framework 2.0 installed too.

Thanks for the info.

It's rude to say this. If you problem is so urgent, why aren't you paying for assistance?
Anyway, you haven't expressed your problem in a coherent enough manner for me to know what you are trying to do. Do you want to write some sort of real-time information system? Is it web-based or windows-based? You probably want to employ some sort of timer to update the screen periodically and read the latest information from your database.

Hi I am trying to increase the appeal of my forms by ading the colours across them, I have found a couple of code snippets online but when i try to implement it myself the keywords get underlined by the intellisense in vb.
eg:
oForm.AutoRedraw = True
oForm.DrawStyle = vbInsideSolid
oForm.DrawMode = vbCopyPen
oForm.DrawWidth = 2
oForm.ScaleMode = vbPixels
it will leave a message saying that Autodraw is not a member of system.windows.forms.form
the same for the other lines.
has something changed in vb.net or something? how could i implement fading the form colours?
thanks in advance

That's VB6 code. Although the syntax in VB.NET is very similar, it's a completely new language.
Here you see that most of the properties that you try to use simply doesn't exist any more:
