Reading a Binary file using Visual Basic

Expand Post »

Can anybody help with the attached project ("Binary.zip")

In the folder there is a binary file ("Mazatrol.dat") that I am trying to read. I cannot get the code to work correctly. Can somebody please see if they can update the visual basic project, and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Please see the attachment ("Binary.zip")

Many thanks

Re: Reading a Binary file using Visual Basic

In function cmdReadValues_Click() check that file_length > 0. The file in your zip is an empty file.

Otherwise, I don't see any problems with that program. Just make sure you click the Write button first to generate the file.
