is there any equivalient php hash crc32b method in c#?

In PHP
echo hash("crc32b","hello world");
//it print : 0d4a1185
Is there any equivalent method in c#?

bellow the class used in one of my c# projects :
class CRC32B
{
public static int Main(String INPUT)
{
// first convert string to byte-array
String input = INPUT;
byte[] bytes = new byte[input.Length * sizeof(char)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(input.ToCharArray(), 0, bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
// then calculate the value
int crcVal = (int)crc32(input);
if (crcVal < 0)
{
crcVal = crcVal * (-1);
}
//Console.WriteLine((int)crcVal);
return (int)crcVal;
}
public static uint crc32(string input)
{
var table = new uint[]{

int to byte[] consistency over network

I have a struct that gets used all over the place and that I store as byteArray on the hd and also send to other platforms.
I used to do this by getting a string version of the struct and using getBytes(utf-8) and getString(utf-8) during serialization. With that I guess I avoided the little and big endian problems?
However that was quite a bit of overhead and I am now using this:
public static explicit operator byte[] (Int3 self)
{
byte[] int3ByteArr = new byte[12];//4*3
int x = self.x;
int3ByteArr[0] = (byte)x;
int3ByteArr[1] = (byte)(x >> 8);
int3ByteArr[2] = (byte)(x >> 0x10);
int3ByteArr[3] = (byte)(x >> 0x18);
int y = self.y;
int3ByteArr[4] = (byte)y;
int3ByteArr[5] = (byte)(y >> 8);
int3ByteArr[6] = (byte)(y >> 0x10);
int3ByteArr[7] = (byte)(y >> 0x18);
int z = self.z;
int3ByteArr[8] = (byte)z;
int3ByteArr[9] = (byte)(z >> 8);
int3ByteArr[10] = (byte)(z >> 0x10);
int3ByteArr[11] = (byte)(z >> 0x18);
return int3ByteArr;
}
public static explicit operator Int3(byte[] self)
{
int x = self[0] + (self[1] << 8) + (self[2] << 0x10) + (self[3] << 0x18);
int y = self[4] + (self[5] << 8) + (self[6] << 0x10) + (self[7] << 0x18);
int z = self[8] + (self[9] << 8) + (self[10] << 0x10) + (self[11] << 0x18);
return new Int3(x, y, z);
}
It works quite well for me, but I am not quite sure how little/big endian works,. do I still have to take care of something here to be safe when some other machine receives an int I sent as a bytearray?

Your current approach will not work for the case when your application running on system which use Big-Endian. In this situation you don't need reordering at all.
You don't need to reverse byte arrays by your self
And you don't need check for endianess of the system by your self
Static method IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder will convert integer to the integer with big-endian order.
Static method IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder will convert integer to the integer with order your system using
Those methods will check for Endianness of the system and will do/or not reordering of integers.
For getting bytes from integer and back use BitConverter
public struct ThreeIntegers
{
public int One;
public int Two;
public int Three;
}
public static byte[] ToBytes(this ThreeIntegers value )
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[12];
byte[] bytesOne = IntegerToBytes(value.One);
Buffer.BlockCopy(bytesOne, 0, bytes, 0, 4);
byte[] bytesTwo = IntegerToBytes(value.Two);
Buffer.BlockCopy(bytesTwo , 0, bytes, 4, 4);
byte[] bytesThree = IntegerToBytes(value.Three);
Buffer.BlockCopy(bytesThree , 0, bytes, 8, 4);
return bytes;
}
public static byte[] IntegerToBytes(int value)
{
int reordered = IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(value);
return BitConverter.GetBytes(reordered);
}
And converting from bytes to struct
public static ThreeIntegers GetThreeIntegers(byte[] bytes)
{
int rawValueOne = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0);
int valueOne = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueOne);
int rawValueTwo = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 4);
int valueTwo = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueTwo);
int rawValueThree = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 8);
int valueThree = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueThree);
return new ThreeIntegers(valueOne, valueTwo, valueThree);
}
If you will use BinaryReader and BinaryWriter for saving and sending to another platforms then BitConverter and byte array manipulating can be dropped off.
// BinaryWriter.Write have overload for Int32
public static void SaveThreeIntegers(ThreeIntegers value)
{
using(var stream = CreateYourStream())
using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(stream))
{
int reordredOne = IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(value.One);
writer.Write(reorderedOne);
int reordredTwo = IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(value.Two);
writer.Write(reordredTwo);
int reordredThree = IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(value.Three);
writer.Write(reordredThree);
}
}
For reading value
public static ThreeIntegers LoadThreeIntegers()
{
using(var stream = CreateYourStream())
using (var writer = new BinaryReader(stream))
{
int rawValueOne = reader.ReadInt32();
int valueOne = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueOne);
int rawValueTwo = reader.ReadInt32();
int valueTwo = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueTwo);
int rawValueThree = reader.ReadInt32();
int valueThree = IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(rawValueThree);
}
}
Of course you can refactor methods above and get more cleaner solution.
Or add as extension methods for BinaryWriter and BinaryReader.

Yes you do. With changes endianness your serialization which preserves bit ordering will run into trouble.
Take the int value 385
In a bigendian system it would be stored as
000000000000000110000001
Interpreting it as littleendian would read it as
100000011000000000000000
And reverse translate to 8486912
If you use the BitConverter class there will be a book property desiring the endianness of the system. The bitconverter can also produce the bit arrays for you.
You will have to decide to use either endianness and reverse the byte arrays according to the serializing or deserializing systems endianness.
The description on MSDN is actually quite detailed. Here they use Array.Reverse for simplicity. I am not certain that your casting to/from byte in order to do the bit manipulation is in fact the fastest way of converting, but that is easily benchmarked.

integer to utf8 string not working c#

I'm converting UTF8 string to integer, and the other way around.
If i enter 卐 as a string, it converts to 21328.
But when I try to convert 21328 back to string I get "PS".
I tried:
int dec = Convert.ToInt32(decimal1.Text, 10);
byte[] bajti = new byte[4];
bajti[0] = (byte)(dec >> 24);
bajti[1] = (byte)(dec >> 16);
bajti[2] = (byte)(dec >> 8);
bajti[3] = (byte)dec;
znak1.Text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bajti);
I have also tried converting using BitConverter and got same result.
I have thought, it could be a problem with TextBox, and I tried to wrote it down in notepad, but got same result...

You can also try the following code:
// Conversion from String to Int32
string text = "§";
byte[] textBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
byte[] numberBytes = new byte[sizeof(int)];
Array.Copy(textBytes, numberBytes, textBytes.Length);
int number = BitConverter.ToInt32(numberBytes, 0);
//Conversion from Int32 to String
numberBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(number);
text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(numberBytes);
PS: The code will work, but some characters when converted take up less than 4 bytes in space, therefore when converted back to a string from an Int32 (4 bytes), trailing \0 may appear (which are not rendered, because they represent a null character).

Try this:
byte[] bajti = HexToBytes(hex1.Text);
char c = 'a';
if (bajti.Length == 1)
{
c = (char)bajti[0];
}
else if (bajti.Length == 2)
{
c = (char)((bajti[0] << 8) + bajti[1]);
}
else if (bajti.Length == 3)
{
c = (char)((bajti[0] << 16) + (bajti[1] << 8) + bajti[2]);
}
else if (bajti.Length == 4)
{
c = (char)((bajti[0] << 24)+(bajti[1] << 16) + (bajti[2] << 8) + bajti[3]);
}
znak1.Text = c.ToString();

C# equalent to perl `pack("v",value)` while packing some values into `byte[]`

I am trying to replicate behavior of a perl script in my c# code. When we convert any value into the Byte[] it should look same irrespective of the language used. SO
I have this function call which looks like this in perl:
$diag_cmd = pack("V", length($s_part)) . $s_part;
where $s_par is defined in following function. It is taking the .pds file at the location C:\Users\c_desaik\Desktop\DIAG\PwrDB\offtarget\data\get_8084_gpio.pds
$s_part =
sub read_pds
{
my $bin_s;
my $input_pds_file = $_[0];
open(my $fh, '<', $input_pds_file) or die "cannot open file $input_pds_file";
{
local $/;
$bin_s = <$fh>;
}
close($fh);
return $bin_s;
}
My best guess is that this function is reading the .pds file and turning it into a Byte array.
Now, I tried to replicate the behavior into c# code like following
static byte[] ConstructPacket()
{
List<byte> retval = new List<byte>();
retval.AddRange(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(#"C:\Users\c_desaik\Desktop\DIAG\PwrDB\offtarget\data\get_8084_gpio.pds"));
return retval.ToArray();
}
But the resulting byte array does not look same. Is there any special mechanism that I have to follow to replicate the behavior of pack("V", length($s_part)) . $s_part ?

As Simon Whitehead mentioned the template character V tells pack to pack your values into unsigned long (32-bit) integers (in little endian order). So you need to convert your bytes to a list (or array) of unsigned integers.
For example:
static uint[] UnpackUint32(string filename)
{
var retval = new List<uint>();
using (var filestream = System.IO.File.Open(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
using (var binaryStream = new System.IO.BinaryReader(filestream))
{
var pos = 0;
while (pos < binaryStream.BaseStream.Length)
{
retval.Add(binaryStream.ReadUInt32());
pos += 4;
}
}
}
return retval.ToArray();
}
And call this function:
var list = UnpackUint32(#"C:\Users\c_desaik\Desktop\DIAG\PwrDB\offtarget\data\get_8084_gpio.pds");
Update
If you wanna read one length-prefixed string or a list of them, you can use this function:
private string[] UnpackStrings(string filename)
{
var retval = new List<string>();
using (var filestream = System.IO.File.Open(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
using (var binaryStream = new System.IO.BinaryReader(filestream))
{
var pos = 0;
while ((pos + 4) <= binaryStream.BaseStream.Length)
{
// read the length of the string
var len = binaryStream.ReadUInt32();
// read the bytes of the string
var byteArr = binaryStream.ReadBytes((int) len);
// cast this bytes to a char and append them to a stringbuilder
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var b in byteArr)
sb.Append((char)b);
// add the new string to our collection of strings
retval.Add(sb.ToString());
// calculate start position of next value
pos += 4 + (int) len;
}
}
}
return retval.ToArray();
}

pack("V", length($s_part)) . $s_part
which can also be written as
pack("V/a*", $s_part)
creates a length-prefixed string. The length is stored as a 32-bit unsigned little-endian number.
+----------+----------+----------+----------+-------- ...
| Length | Length | Length | Length | Bytes
| ( 7.. 0) | (15.. 8) | (23..16) | (31..24) |
+----------+----------+----------+----------+-------- ...
This is how you recreate the original string from the bytes:
Read 4 bytes
If using a machine other than a little-endian machine,
Rearrange the bytes into the native order.
Cast those bytes into an 32-bit unsigned integer.
Read a number of bytes equal to that number.
Convert that sequences of bytes into a string.
Some languages provide tools that perform more than one of these steps.
I don't know C#, so I can't write the code for you, but I can give you an example in two other languages.
In Perl, this would be written as follows:
sub read_bytes {
my ($fh, $num_bytes_to_read) = #_;
my $buf = '';
while ($num_bytes_to_read) {
my $num_bytes_read = read($fh, $buf, $num_bytes_to_read, length($buf));
if (!$num_bytes_read) {
die "$!\n" if !defined($num_bytes_read);
die "Premature EOF\n";
}
$num_bytes_to_read -= $num_bytes_read;
}
return $buf;
}
sub read_uint32le { unpack('V', read_bytes($_[0], 4)) }
sub read_pstr { read_bytes($_[0], read_uint32le($_[0])) }
my $str = read_pstr($fh);
In C,
int read_bytes(FILE* fh, void* buf, size_t num_bytes_to_read) {
while (num_bytes_to_read) {
size_t num_bytes_read = fread(buf, 1, num_bytes_to_read, fh);
if (!num_bytes_read)
return 0;
num_bytes_to_read -= num_bytes_read;
buf += num_bytes_read;
}
return 1;
}
int read_uint32le(FILE* fh, uint32_t* p_i) {
int ok = read_bytes(fh, p_i, sizeof(*p_i));
if (!ok)
return 0;
{ /* Rearrange bytes on non-LE machines */
const char* p = (char*)p_i;
*p_i = ((((p[3] << 8) | p[2]) << 8) | p[1]) << 8) | p[0];
}
return 1;
}
char* read_pstr(FILE* fh) {
uint32_t len;
char* buf = NULL;
int ok;
ok = read_uint32le(fh, &len);
if (!ok)
goto ERROR;
buf = malloc(len+1);
if (!buf)
goto ERROR;
ok = read_bytes(fh, buf, len);
if (!ok)
goto ERROR;
buf[len] = '\0';
return buf;
ERROR:
if (p)
free(p);
return NULL;
}
char* str = read_pstr(fh);

How can I assign an integer to 3Bytes of field?

I have retrieved the Size of my Struct by using size of like below:
int len = Marshal.SizeOf(packet);
Now the len has a Value of 40. I have to assign this 40 to a 3-byte Field of my Structure.My Strucure looks like below:
public struct TCP_CIFS_Packet
{
public byte zerobyte;
public byte[] lengthCIFSPacket;
public CIFSPacket cifsPacket;
}
I tried assigning the values like following:
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket = new byte[3];
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[0] = Convert.ToByte(0);
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[1] = Convert.ToByte(0);
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[2] = Convert.ToByte(40);
But this doesn't seem to be the right way. Is there any other Way I can do this?
Edit #ho1 and #Rune Grimstad:
After using BitConverter.GetBytes like follwoing:
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket = BitConverter.GetBytes(lengthofPacket);
The size of lengthCIFSPacket changes to 4-bytes but I have only 3-bytes of space for tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket as the packet structure.

int number = 500000;
byte[] bytes = new byte[3];
bytes[0] = (byte)((number & 0xFF) >> 0);
bytes[1] = (byte)((number & 0xFF00) >> 8);
bytes[2] = (byte)((number & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
or
byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(number); // this will return 4 bytes of course
edit: you can also do this
byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(number);
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket = new byte[3];
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[0] = bytes[0];
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[1] = bytes[1];
tcpCIFSPacket.lengthCIFSPacket[2] = bytes[2];

Look at BitConverter.GetBytes. It'll convert the int to an array of bytes. See here for more info.

You can use the BitConverter class to convert an Int32 to an array of bytes using the GetBytes method.
