B4J Question Problem with AsyncStream.Write

Hello,
via VB6 I send a string to my machine. The machine also answers. That means the string is ok.

If I now send the same string via B4J to the machine I get a Error.Send B4J the string differently?
Connection is init. and OK!

The error message shows me that the sent string is not OK. But it works with VB6!
Any Idea?

LOG:

Which "machine" do you mean? Can you see any error messages on it? Do you use prefix/non prefix? What about the string? (you send bytes, not a string). Maybe VB sends ASCII or an other codepage and B4J UTF8. Just try to change that parms.

PS: Any code would be helpful (VB and B4J)

Hello KMatle,
Thank you for your Answer....
First Time i use this to build my "SendString":

Dim Query as String
Query = Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(194) & Chr(6) & Chr(1) & Chr(3)
Dim MyMessage As String = Query
Dim bytes() As Byte = MyMessage.GetBytes("UTF-8")
astream.Write(bytes)

It doesn't work!
Now i use the ByteBuilder Class! Look like this and it's work perfect!

Dim Query As BytesBuilder
Query.Initialize
'Query.Clear
Query.Insert(0, Array As Byte(0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xC2, 0x06, 0x01, 0x03))
astream.Write(Query.ToArray)

Thanks!

Good to see you have a solution @skyracer90, but if you are sending strings only you might like to take a look at the AsyncStreamsText class because as Erel says at the beginning of that reference "When a message (set of bytes) is sent over a network channel, of any type, there is no guarantee that the whole message will arrive as a single set of bytes."

I've used AsyncStreamsText myself with success in similar circumstances and so can recommend it.

Close, but for this:
B4X:
Dim bc As ByteConverter
  
Dim TS As String = Chr(100) & Chr(110) & Chr(120) & Chr(130) & Chr(140) & Chr(150) & Chr(160) & Chr(170)
Dim TA() As Byte = bc.StringToBytes(TS, "windows-1252")
For I = 0 To TA.Length - 1
    Log(Bit.And(TA(I), 0xFF))
Next
B4X:
Program started.
100
110
120
63
63
63
160
170
Hours of fun to be had, tracking that down :)
