Convert and Append string into existing byte array - c#

I am working on converting and existing C# project over to Java/Android. I am looking for the Java equivalent to UTF8Encoding.GetBytes(String, Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32). Take a look at the C# code below, how do I add the string packet into the data byte array? I have looked at the String.getBytes() method but it is not the same.
int length = packet.Length;
byte[] data = new byte[6 + length + 1];
data[0] = (byte)VAR1;
data[1] = 1;
**Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(packet, 0, length, data, 6);**
data[6 + length] = (byte)VAR2;
data[5] = (byte)(length % 256);
length /= 256;
data[4] = (byte)(length % 256);
length /= 256;
data[3] = (byte)(length % 256);
length /= 256;
data[2] = (byte)(length % 256);

Okay, given that you mean ASCII rather than UTF-8, there are two immediate options:
Intermediate byte array
byte[] encodedText = text.getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
System.arraycopy(encodedText, 0, data, 6, encodedText.length);
This is inefficient, but simple.
Charset directly
CharsetEncoder encoder = StandardCharsets.US_ASCII.newEncoder();
CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.wrap(text);
ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(data, 6, data.length - 6);
encoder.encode(charBuffer, byteBuffer, true);
This is possibly more efficient, but more complicated to understand.

Sending a byte array to a serial port using certain formatting

Bit of a weird one here but I'm trying to write a control program for a monitor that uses a serial RS232 port to receive commands in hexadecimal, 0xFF, notation i.e. 0x00.
Problem I have is that I can't seem to find a way of taking a user input, which is a decimal value like 55, and converting it into its byte, hexadecimal, form with the above mentioned format. Using the Convert method that Visual studio has built in gives me the correct value i need but without the required 0x at the beginning.
I'm new to using bytes and byte arrays in C# so forgive me if I've missed out on a simple formatting method that will solve it.
Below is a string to byte array method that I found on here and its helpful but gives me the wrong format for the bytes.
private static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
int NumberChars = hex.Length;
byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i+2, 2), 16);
return bytes;
}
You might just want to convert a hex-string to bytes. See How do you convert a byte array to a hexadecimal string, and vice versa?
simple conversion of one single "hex-string-byte" and send the byte:
MonPort.Write(Convert.ToByte("A6"), 0,1);
Convert content of your textbox to a binary array and send it:
public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
int NumberChars = hex.Length;
byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
return bytes;
}
public void SendData()
{
byte[] sendBytes = StringToByteArray(YourSendBytesTextbox.Text);
MonPort.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
}
See following :
string input = "abcdefghijk";
byte[] data = string.Join(",",input.AsEnumerable()
.Select(x => "0x" + ((byte)x).ToString("X2")))
.Select(x => (byte)x).ToArray();
string str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);

C#-converting array of byte to string gives weird output, does it mean the original value was coded?

I am trying to convert a hex string to a string. But when I do it the result is gibberish. I also tried converting hex to byte array to string but that didn't work as well. I was told the first 2 bytes are just "headers" but I wanted to see what they look like as well

This code is for getting to bytes and then converting it to string.
compString = compString.Substring(4);//taking the first 2 bytes out. 1 hex has 4 bits
byte[] byteArray = hexStringToByteArray(compString);
string result = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteArray);
private byte[] hexStringToByteArray(string hexString)
{
hexString = hexString.Replace("\n", "");
int len = (hexString.Length - 2);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[len / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2)
{
byte b = byte.Parse(hexString.Substring(i, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);
byteArray[i / 2] = b;
}
return byteArray;
}
Any suggestions?
EDIT- Output was weird because it was compressed. I needed to decompress it. Thanks everyone

Equivalent C code in C#. (uint8_t *) cast?

I am trying to convert these C piece of code into C#. But I've stumble in some parts that I don't understand exactly what is happening, so I am unable to translate it.
void foo(uint64_t *output, uint64_t *input, uint32_t Length){
uint64_t st[25];
memcpy(st, input, Length);
((uint8_t *)st)[Length] = 0x01;
memset(((uint8_t *)st) + Length + 1, 0x00, 128 - Length - 1);
for(int i = 16; i < 25; ++i) st[i] = 0x00UL;
// Last bit of padding
st[16] = 0x8000000000000000UL;
bar(st);
memcpy(output, st, 200);
}
More specifically in the ((uint8_t *)st)[Length] = 0x01; part. I cannot understand the cast/pointer in this line. Why is the * there for? If somebody could explain what is happening, I would be grateful.
What I got so far in C#:
private void foo(ref ulong[] output, ref ulong[] input, uint Length)
{
ulong[] st = new ulong[25];
//memcpy(st, input, Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(input, 0, st, 0, (int)Length);
// Help in these line please:
//((uint8_t *)st)[Length] = 0x01;
// Still don't know what to do here too:
//memset(((byte)st) + Length + 1, 0x00, 128 - Length - 1);
for (int i = 16; i < 25; ++i)
{
st[i] = 0x00U;
}
// Last bit of padding
st[16] = 0x8000000000000000U;
bar(st);
//memcpy(output, st, 200);
Buffer.BlockCopy(st, 0, output, 0, 200);
}
Thank you.
What your function does is rather primitive memory manipulation:
void foo(uint64_t *output, uint64_t *input, uint32_t Length)
{
uint64_t st[25];
Your function takes a pointer to 16 elements of uint64_t and prepares a local buffer (st) to store a copy of them.
memcpy(st, input, Length);
((uint8_t *)st)[Length] = 0x01;
memset(((uint8_t *)st) + Length + 1, 0x00, 128 - Length - 1);
Make a copy of the input array into st but insert a byte with value 1 at an offset of Length bytes from the start.
for(int i = 16; i < 25; ++i) st[i] = 0x00UL;
The remaining 8 elements of the buffer are cleared to 0. Writing st[16] is pointless as it will be changed again by the next line...
// Last bit of padding
st[16] = 0x8000000000000000UL;
Now we have 16*8 bytes from the input buffer, 1 extra byte with value 1 inserted somewhere and the remaining elements are filled with 1<<63 and lots of 0 bytes.
bar(st);
memcpy(output, st, 200);
}
Do something we have no clue about and copy the resulting 25 elements into the output buffer

Calculate CRC 8 of data received on serial port c#

I am receiving data from serial port in an byte array
How can I calculate the checksum of the data not included the sync (54) and checksum (F2) byte and want to match with the last check sum byte.
Updated :
int bytes = comport.BytesToRead;
byte indexCRC;
int sumCRC = 0;
byte checksumCRC = 0;
byte checksum;
byte[] RXBuffer = new byte[bytes];
comport.Read(RXBuffer, 0, bytes);
checksum = RXBuffer.Last();
byte[] RXBufferCRC = new byte[bytes];
for (indexCRC = 1; indexCRC < RXBufferCRC.Length; indexCRC++)
{
sumCRC = sumCRC + RXBufferCRC[indexCRC];
}
checksumCRC = (byte)(sumCRC);
Start the index from 1 but before doing that delete the last index of the array and store the array in an other array something like that
int Secbytes = comport.BytesToRead;
byte[] SecRXBuffer = new byte[Secbytes];
Array.Copy(SecRXBuffer, VanguardConstants.RECEIVEINDEX, RXBuffer, 0, Secbytes);
byte[] tmp = new byte[bytes - 1];
Array.Copy(RXBuffer, tmp, Secbytes - 1);
for (i = 1; i < tmp.Length; i++)
{
Sum = (byte)(Sum + tmp[i]);
}
Checksum = ((byte)Sum);

Here is an implementation of a CRC8 function in C#.

Represent a Guid as a set of integers

If I want to represent a guid as a set of integers how would I handle the conversion? I'm thinking along the lines of getting the byte array representation of the guid and breaking it up into the fewest possible 32 bit integers that can be converted back into the original guid. Code examples preferred...
Also, what will the length of the resulting integer array be?
As a GUID is just 16 bytes, you can convert it to four integers:
Guid id = Guid.NewGuid();
byte[] bytes = id.ToByteArray();
int[] ints = new int[4];
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
ints[i] = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, i * 4);
}
Converting back is just getting the integers as byte arrays and put together:
byte[] bytes = new byte[16];
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
Array.Copy(BitConverter.GetBytes(ints[i]), 0, bytes, i * 4, 4);
}
Guid id = new Guid(bytes);
System.Guid guid = System.Guid.NewGuid();
byte[] guidArray = guid.ToByteArray();
// condition
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(guidArray.Length % sizeof(int) == 0);
int[] intArray = new int[guidArray.Length / sizeof(int)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(guidArray, 0, intArray, 0, guidArray.Length);
byte[] guidOutArray = new byte[guidArray.Length];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(intArray, 0, guidOutArray, 0, guidOutArray.Length);
System.Guid guidOut = new System.Guid(guidOutArray);
// check
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(guidOut == guid);
Somehow I had much more fun doing it this way:
byte[] bytes = guid.ToByteArray();
int[] ints = new int[bytes.Length / sizeof(int)];
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++) {
ints[i / sizeof(int)] = ints[i / sizeof(int)] | (bytes[i] << 8 * ((sizeof(int) - 1) - (i % sizeof(int))));
}
and converting back:
byte[] bytesAgain = new byte[ints.Length * sizeof(int)];
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++) {
bytesAgain[i] = (byte)((ints[i / sizeof(int)] & (byte.MaxValue << 8 * ((sizeof(int) - 1) - (i % sizeof(int))))) >> 8 * ((sizeof(int) - 1) - (i % sizeof(int))));
}
Guid guid2 = new Guid(bytesAgain);
Will the build-in Guid structure not suffice?
Constructor:
public Guid(
byte[] b
)
And
public byte[] ToByteArray()
Which, returns a 16-element byte array that contains the value of this instance.
Packing the bytes into integers and visa versa should be trivial.
A Guid is typically just a 128-bit number.
-- Edit
So in C#, you can get the 16 bytes via
byte[] b = Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray();
