AscB function not supportes

[mauleTTT]

Hi all, anyone knows how to make this in VB .NET ?

 

The function AscB is not yet supported by .NET.

 

fnclngLeftShift(AscB(Mid(strMissatge, lngContByte + 1, 1)), lngPosByte)

 

The problem is in the AscB function. I don't know, how to do this, or how to substitute the AscB function.

 

Sorry for my english.

 

Thanks.

What is your program trying to do? There may be a much simpler .NET way of achieving your goal.

I'm only want how to do this in .NET.

 

I don't understand what are you asking me, sorry

What is the function of your program going to be? What do you need

AscB() for?

The AscB function is used in a procedure, that converts a string in a byte array of that string.

 

The objective it's make an implementation of the MD4 message-digest algorithm.

 

I'm only want to know if anyone knows how I can get the first byte of one char of a string.

 

 

Thanks

You can convert a string to a byte array like this:

Dim bArray() As Byte

bArray = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(myString)

 

Yay! 500th post! :)

Thanks for the answer, but the AscB function, returns only the first byte of a character, I don't want the entire collection.

 

I don't know if I'm explaining well, sorry for my english.

 

Thanks

The point is, you don't *have* to do all that work - you can convert a string to a byte array with what VolteFace showed you.

If you want only the first byte, do what I told you to, and then just

use bArray(0) to get the first byte in the array.

Ok, i will try it, this night i will comment the results :)
