trailing zero in memory stream - C# Discussion Boards

Hi,

i'm beginner in MODBUS, so please help me.
i have a temperature regulator with MODBUS communication.
For example:
If i want to read holding register e.g.: 0042 „Value of temperature“ from mentioned device, in my application for MODBUS-RTU communication which i was writte in
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005- VC#,
i made request -byte array:
{0x01, 0x03, 0x00, 0x29, 0x00, 0x01, 0x83, 0x01}

1- slave adress (configured in device)- 0x01
2.- function code(Read Holding Registers)- 0x03
3.- start adress Hi- 0x00
4.- start adress Lo- 0x29
5.- no. of registers Hi- 0x00
6.- no of registers Lo- 0x01
7.- error code- 0x83
8.- exception code- 0x01

and sent that array to device. Label Rx blinks ,on the front panel of device, so device received my request, but i don't get any response, Tx doesn't blink!!!
For example:
If holding register 0042 „Value of temperature“=555, response message from device should be:

{slave adress=0x01, function code= 0x03, byte count= 0x02, register value Hi= 0x02,
register value Lo= 0x2B,... } !!!????
But i get nothing!!!!
All other parameters like port name, baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits,ReadTimeout, WriteTimeout and RS485/RS232 converter are O.K.
Plese, could You help me with some advice to get response from device and tell me what i do wrong.
Is my request -byte array O.K.??? (especialy last two bytes 0x83, 0x01- CRC)

Thank You very much.

Best regards!

Without seeing any code or knowing what transmission media that you're using, it's difficult to say with any certainty where the problem is.
Try using this[^] to check your CRC bytes. Here[^] has some links to tools that may help you.

Apart from FxCop there's also Microsoft Source Analysis (aka Style Cop). But this is more to do with coding style. Rules can be selectively disabled and you can create your own [with some effort]. Plus it will be updated eventually so that "auto-fixes" can be applied.

trailing zero in memory stream

Hello everyone,

I am using the following code to retrieve the string content of XML, my question is why there is many trailing zeros in variable content? How to solve it?

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    MemoryStream MemoryStream1 = new MemoryStream();
    StreamWriter StreamWriter1 = new StreamWriter(MemoryStream1);
    XmlTextWriter XMLWriter1 = new XmlTextWriter(StreamWriter1);

    XMLWriter1.WriteStartDocument();

    XMLWriter1.WriteStartElement("Entity");  //root element
    XMLWriter1.WriteAttributeString("node", "Hello Node");

    //root ending
    XMLWriter1.WriteEndElement();
    XMLWriter1.WriteEndDocument();

    //flush the buffer to underlying stream
    XMLWriter1.Flush();

    string content = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(MemoryStream1.GetBuffer());

    return;

}

thanks in advance,
George

Must read the docs! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.memorystream.getbuffer.aspx[^] look at remarks section.

You should call ToArray()!

how to dynamically load pictures from Resource file

Hi! All
I m working on a project who has images, icons defined in Resources Properties. All these loads at run time. but when i remove some images from Resources then it prompts error messages. I want to handle it if the image exist then it appears if it does not exist then does not.
Let me tell how to Handle this
these are accessed as

this.BackGroundImage = MyProject.Properties.Resources.Logo;
it is ok
when i remove "logo" from Resources.
then a compile time error: logo is identified.

* So far i handle this. as i make an empty image with same name i removed.
but that is the not a solution.

Any suggestion regarding this. will be anticipated.

Thanks in advance.

Instead of linking the file at compile time, you can embed it in the .resx file. There will be a Persistence property for the image when you open the Resources.resx file in IDE.

Also, If you want to remove the image, you can remove it from resources also, why you want to keep it if its not used?

Hi.
im currently stuck in a small problem which i cant seem to overcome
i have built a small easy tracking service which runs with timers and takes the current address from internet explorer bar and writes it on a notepad

im using a refference for .COM internet controls 6 -> shDocVw.ShellWindows

now, when i compile the program-it works perfectly fine (i even tried to build it on a webform it runs smoothly with no problems at all)
But when im trying to run the service after installing it with installutil
i get the error "COM object with CLSID {9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39} is either not
valid or not registered"

and it get closed by itself

any magical solutions???
thanks alot!

Scope of variable

Hum Dum10-Jun-08 20:55

When u make a function call, all the value type of the calling function are pushed in stack. As soon as function returns control, the value types & memory used by variables inside function got released.

string and object are refrence type.

class A
{
string abc = "";// at class level.
...//some variables
...
...
}

class B
{
A obj = new A();
obj.abc = "Value";
}

class C
{
A obj = new A();
}

Now sequence in which these class got called is A->B->C.
What happen to value i stored in abc during class B, does It got restore to default by C class obj creation.

What is the scope of variables declare at class level, as soon as control comes out from a class does they restore to default?

Thanks & regards.

I did read that one. But i couldn't grasp whole. Cry | :((

will u please tell me, with refrence to my original post,
what value does abc hold if i use it after executing C class.

No, the instance of A that is created in the B class is separate from the instance of A created in the C class.

At the class level, you have to distinguish between class members (static variables) and instance members (member variables). A static variable in a class exists only once and exists in the class rather than in an instance of the class. A member variable exists in an instance of the class, so it's separate for each instance. A member variable retains it's value as long as the instance exists.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

class test

class Test2
{
 test t1 = new test();
 t1.abc = "some value";
 
 test t2 = new test();
 t2.abc = "next value";

}

Does it means as long as t1 exist(not garbage collected), t1.abc =="some value" ?
Means t1 is seprate & t2 is seprate copy?
Is it correct?

What i thought, suppose there exist A, B, C classes.

set the class A feild within B, then i was trying to access that value(which i set in B) in C by another obj created inside C.

We cant set like this, can we?

..if you don't change the value

t1 and t2 are different instance of Type test, yes.

No, you can't. They are separate instances, and they are not aware of each other.

Reversing the string

How to reverse the string by the following manner ?

If string is "This is the test".

1] Reverse string should be "tset eht si siht"

2] other one: "siht si eht tset" (for this, using substring function)

string result = myString == "This is the test"?"tset eht si siht":"siht si eht tset".SubString(0,16);

That should do it, 100% according to your spec Wink | ;-)
