hi guy I'm trying to load the strings of hex output of a file to a textbox.

here is an example:




what im trying do is convert the bytes from the hexbox to the ASCIIbox when i open a file.

i can can load the hex values but not the strings and i need to load them as it wont be a hex editor with out them


or maybe you can help me convert this code to work for ASCII

	TextBox2.Text = String.Join(" ", IO.File.ReadAllBytes(OpenFileDialog1.FileName).Select(Function(B)/> b.ToString("X2")).ToArray()) '//working to show bytes

thanks in advance

This part of your code reads the file (as you want to display it):

IO.File.ReadAllBytes(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

You could write another line to use that, but it would be more efficient to combine the two, so that they both use the same data read, eg:

	TextBoxAscii.Text = IO.File.ReadAllBytes(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
	TextBox2.Text = String.Join(" ", TextBoxAscii.Text.Select(Function(B)/> b.ToString("X2")).ToArray())

edit: oops... now I'm thinking that TextBoxAscii would need a bit more work to display it, and that a simple .ToString wont do it. unfortunately I'm out of time, so hopefully somebody else will correct it.
