fhunkyfhinky — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 09:45:19 +0800

Hi everyone. Sorry first if I open new tred in wrong place.

But, I would like to gain opinion from all of you guys. Have you heard this company : MSA Focus International?

From what mr google show me, it is broadcast management system distributor. They are inviting me for interview as Software Developer. But I kinda sked of, because never work with company which is based outside Malaysia. It based at Cardiff.

So can I had any opinion? Or experience for who have been work there?

Many thanks!

Hi everyone

I would like to ask. I got HTC HD mini, just use for 4 days, and now screen cracked after accidentally dropped. As i know, I can send back to SiS distribution, as they are distributor for HTC in Malaysia.

The problem is my phone got no sticker SiS. Only sticker I have there is "pda gadgets".

Submitting Array to C DLL

fhunkyfhinky — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:42:42 +0800

Hi everyone.

I would like to have some opinion on solving this problem. I have one Dynamic Link Libary (DLL) file in C call my.DLL. There is one function call _Open@8 which their parameter is

long Open(long COMPortNo, PCHAR pUSBDeviceName);

So, I was doing some application using VB.Net, and declare this function as:

Declare Function OpenCBMReader Lib "my.dll" Alias "_Open@8" (ByVal intPortNum As Integer, ByVal USBDeviceName() As Byte) As Long

A reason I change second parameter as byte because I also have successfully application in C# that successfully run with this dll. I overlook in this C# solutions, and this is a declaration for same function in DLL.

[DllImport(" my.dll ", EntryPoint = " _Open@8 ", CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)] _
public static extern int Open(int iPortNo, byte[] USBDeviceName );

So, I call this function in VB.Net with two variables, intPortNum = 256, and USBDeviceName is series of byte array with size 21. Same method in C# solutions, and I catch an error with VB.Net. An error is :

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

This is source code in C#

string strRdrname = "251606824-0821M01147X";

byte[] bRdrName = new byte[strRdrname.ToCharArray().Length];
int i = 0;
foreach (char ch in strRdrname.ToCharArray())
{
bRdrName[i] = (byte)ch;
i++;
}
iReturn = MyKad_SDK.CBM_OpenReader(256, bRdrName);

And this is what I am doing in VB.Net:

Dim tmpCharSet As Integer
Dim strTmpStringToConv As String
Dim tmpNameByte() As System.Byte

Dim strReaderName As String = " 251606824-0821M01147X"

Try
ReDim tmpNameByte(strReaderName.Length - 1)

For i = 0 To strReaderName.Length - 1
strTmpStringToConv = strReaderName.Substring(i, 1)
tmpCharSet = AscW(strTmpStringToConv)
tmpNameByte(i) = tmpCharSet
Next

intResult = OpenCBMReader (256, tmpNameByte)

If intResult = 0 Then
Return True
Else
Return False
End If

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try

Any opinion please?I am already stuck here for two days.

Thank you so much for any of your opinion!

Calling DLL in C from VB.Net

fhunkyfhinky — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:27:44 +0800

Hi. Greetings everyone.

I would like to have some opinion on how to call and receive function in VB.Net from DLL that have C struct. I have one DLL called "CBM.dll"

Below is sample of code in for reference using C#, that integrate with same DLL

CODE

public struct RdrName
{ [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 100)] _
public char[] cRdrName;
public Int32 iNbrRdr;
}

[DllImport("CBM.dll", EntryPoint = "Enumerate@4", _
CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] .
public static extern int Enumerate([Out, _
MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] RdrName[] dlgRdr);

I have to convert it to Visual Basic. May i have opinion how VB.Net will integrate with this DLL?

I have try same method, and just convert accordingly to this C# reference, but I found error

CODE

Public Structure CBMArray
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray,SizeConst:=100)>
Dim cRdrName() AsChar
Public iNbrRdr As Int32
End Structure

Declare Function EnumCBMReader Lib "CBM.dll" Alias _
"Enumerate@4" (<Out(), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)> _
ByRef dlgRdr As CBMArray()) As Integer
)

And the result was:

"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

Do anyone have some opinion on this?

Thank you.

Alliance Bank..Any Suggestions?

fhunkyfhinky — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:52:28 +0800

Hye.

I just want to start buying a new house at Puchong. Price of the house is Rm130,000.

Recently, I have brought all my application to CIMB, and I only get 70% from loan, so it just 91000. My budget i set to 90% loan minimum. They don give me 90% loan because my name is too clean in CTOS system (pardon me if I wrong), and I never have any loan before. And my age is 22 years old, and this is my first time taking a bank loan. So thats why bank dont give me 90%, because they cant see my pattern in paying loan.

So my agent insist to bring my application to Alliance Bank. However, if I have another bank in mind, he can also bring my application go to that bank.

Is the bank (Alliance Bank) okay?any recommendations?

TQ

p/s:

BTW, this morning Alliance Bank have been announced their new BLR rate, 6.3% starting yesterday.

fhunkyfhinky — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:39:49 +0800

Hi.

I ask celcom operators, and they say my bill excluding all necessary fee (BIS + EXEC50 + Basic Plan Fee). I read at other thread for maxis user, they said they hardly enough to exceed 5MB per month.
