Chrome Native messaging with C# Application

I am trying to communicate with a C# app through chrome native messaging. I am totally new to C#. So I'll create a sample app through following code. How do I add this DisplayMessage function to display the incoming message in the UI?. I have used forms for this UI.
nativeMessage.exe
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace NativeMsgApp
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string message = txt_inputBox.Text;
label1.Text = "Send Message "+ message;
OpenStandardStreamOut(message);
}
private static string OpenStandardStreamIn()
{
//// We need to read first 4 bytes for length information
Stream stdin = Console.OpenStandardInput();
int length = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
stdin.Read(bytes, 0, 4);
length = System.BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0);
string input = "";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
input += (char)stdin.ReadByte();
}
return input;
}
private static void OpenStandardStreamOut(string stringData)
{
//// We need to send the 4 btyes of length information
string msgdata = "{\"text\":\"" + stringData + "\"}";
int DataLength = msgdata.Length;
Stream stdout = Console.OpenStandardOutput();
stdout.WriteByte((byte)((DataLength >> 0) & 0xFF));
stdout.WriteByte((byte)((DataLength >> 8) & 0xFF));
stdout.WriteByte((byte)((DataLength >> 16) & 0xFF));
stdout.WriteByte((byte)((DataLength >> 24) & 0xFF));
//Available total length : 4,294,967,295 ( FF FF FF FF )
Console.Write(msgdata);
}
private static void DisplayMessage()
{
while (OpenStandardStreamIn() != null || OpenStandardStreamIn() != "")
{
OpenStandardStreamOut("Received to Native App: " + OpenStandardStreamIn());
OpenStandardStreamOut("Recieved: " + OpenStandardStreamIn());
}
}
}
}

C# why TCPListener load CPU

I found TCPListener code from here.
In MainWindow class Im starting server.
Then opening websocket from html page
let socket = new WebSocket("ws://192.168.1.149:1112");
Right after this CPU loads to 25% even if nothing sent to server. Further data sending to server going normal. What to do to prevent CPU load? Please help.

Modbus function 0x06

Faced a problem. There is a 0x03 function, but I need to redo it in 0x06, I don’t understand how to do it.
I know that function 06 does not have a variable part. The value of one register is always transferred to it. But I can not understand what needs to be corrected. Please, help.
Here I create a package for functions:
private void BuildMessage(byte address, byte type, ushort start, ushort registers, ref byte[] message)
{
if (type == 3 || type == 16)
{
//Array to receive CRC bytes:
byte[] CRC = new byte[2];
message[0] = address;
message[1] = type;
message[2] = (byte)(start >> 8);
message[3] = (byte)start;
message[4] = (byte)(registers >> 8);
message[5] = (byte)registers;
GetCRC(message, ref CRC);
message[message.Length - 2] = CRC[0];
message[message.Length - 1] = CRC[1];
}
else if (type == 6)
{
byte[] CRC = new byte[2];
message[0] = address;
message[1] = type;
message[2] = (byte)(start >> 8);
message[3] = (byte)start;
message[4] = (byte)(registers >> 8);
message[5] = (byte)registers;
GetCRC(message, ref CRC);
message[6] = CRC[0];
message[7] = CRC[1];
}
}
This is my function number 3:
public bool SendFunc(int funcNumer, string connectType, byte address, ushort start, ushort registers, ref short[] values)
{
#region №3
if (funcNumer == 3)
{
#region serial-port
if (connectType.Equals("COM"))
{
//Ensure port is open:
if (sp.IsOpen)
{
//Clear in/out buffers:
sp.DiscardOutBuffer();
sp.DiscardInBuffer();
//Function 3 request is always 8 bytes:
byte[] message = new byte[8];
//Function 3 response buffer:
byte[] response = new byte[5 + 2 * registers];
//Build outgoing modbus message:
BuildMessage(address, (byte)3, start, registers, ref message);
//Send modbus message to Serial Port:
try
{
sp.Write(message, 0, message.Length);
GetResponse("COM", ref response);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
modbusStatus = "" + err.Message;
return false;
}
//Evaluate message:
if (CheckResponse(response))
{
//Return requested register values:
for (int i = 0; i < (response.Length - 5) / 2; i++)
{
values[i] = response[2 * i + 3];
values[i] <<= 8;
values[i] += response[2 * i + 4];
}
modbusStatus = "";
return true;
}
else
{
modbusStatus = "";
return false;
}
}
else
{
modbusStatus = "";
return false;
}
}
And here I am trying to implement function number 6:
if (funcNumer == 6)
{
#region serial-port
if (connectType.Equals("COM"))
{
//Ensure port is open:
if (sp.IsOpen)
{
//Clear in/out buffers:
sp.DiscardOutBuffer();
sp.DiscardInBuffer();
//Function 3 request is always 8 bytes:
byte[] message = new byte[8];
//Function 3 response buffer:
byte[] response = new byte[5 + 2 * registers];
//Build outgoing modbus message:
BuildMessage(address, (byte)6, start, registers, ref message);
//Send modbus message to Serial Port:
try
{
sp.Write(message, 0, message.Length);
GetResponse("COM", ref response);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
modbusStatus = "" + err.Message;
return false;
}
//Evaluate message:
if (CheckResponse(response))
{
//Return requested register values:
for (int i = 0; i < (response.Length - 5) / 2; i++)
{
values[i] = response[2 * i + 3];
values[i] <<= 8;
values[i] += response[2 * i + 4];
}
modbusStatus = "";
return true;
}
else
{
modbusStatus = "";
return false;
}
}
else
{
modbusStatus = "";
return false;
}
}
This is my function to check the response:
private bool CheckResponse(byte[] response)
{
//Perform a basic CRC check:
byte[] CRC = new byte[2];
GetCRC(response, ref CRC);
if (CRC[0] == response[response.Length - 2] && CRC[1] == response[response.Length - 1])
return true;
else
return false;
}
This is my function for get response:
private void GetResponse(string connect, ref byte[] response)
{
if (connect.Equals("COM"))
{
for (int i = 0; i < response.Length; i++)
{
response[i] = (byte)(sp.ReadByte());
}
}
else if (connect.Equals("TCP"))
{
NetworkStream stream = tcpClient.GetStream();
for (int i = 0; i < response.Length; i++)
{
response[i] = (byte)(stream.ReadByte());
}
}
else
{
}
}

The difference between Modbus function 0x03 and 0x06 is actually the part of the code you did not show on your question: CheckResponse(response).
Function 0x03 reads a number of registers, and the values in those registers (coming from the slave) are included in the response.
Function 0x06 writes a single register and gives an echo back. So the response is the same as the query.
With that information, it should be easy to modify your code: remove the for loop where you retrieve the register values.
Other than that you might need to modify your CheckResponse() function too, but that should also be quite straight forward: just check the response is exactly the same as the query (message).
EDIT: if your CheckResponse()` function only checks for the correct CRC on the responses I suppose you can keep it as it is.

unsigned char to char * for TCP from C++ WinSock client to C# Server

I'm having trouble with a problem, that I think is just a case of casting from unsigned char to char*. However, I've not managed to do it in a way that works!
What I'm doing is reading data in to a C++ program as an unsigned char [64]. This then needs to be transmitted over a TCP socket to a waiting C# TcpListener (I've also tried listening with netcat on linux, and Hurcules.
The listener (whichever one I use) receives nothing that makes sense!
If I char* buffer2 = reinterpret_cast<char*>(buffer); I get something transmitted, but it's nonsense, and when I inspect buffer2 during debug it contains only a "0".
Below is some stripped back C++ code for sending using my own SocketClient_Winsock class (which is even further down)
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "SocketClient_Winsock.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void GetData(unsigned char *fillme)
{
// Fill the array!
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
{
fillme[a] = a;
}
printf("in GetData: \n");
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
printf("%i, ", fillme[a]);
printf("\n\n");
}
void SendData(char* sendme)
{
printf("in SendData: \n");
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
printf("%i, ", sendme[a]);
printf("\n\n");
SocketClient_Winsock sock("127.0.0.1"); // Default constructor 127.0.0.1:5000
sock.Start();
//sock.Send("Incoming!\n");
sock.Send(sendme);
//sock.Send("Done.");
sock.Stop();
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
// Create the buffer
unsigned char buffer[64];
printf("Before filling: \n"); // output
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
printf("%i, ", buffer[a]);
printf("\n\n");
// Fill the buffer
GetData(buffer);
printf("after filling: \n"); // output again
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
printf("%i, ", buffer[a]);
printf("\n\n");
// Send data over TCP connection
SendData((char*)buffer);
// Output
printf("after sending: \n");
for (int a = 0; a < 64; a++)
printf("%i, ", buffer[a]);
printf("\n\n");
return 0;

As MagikM18 commented below, the original solution was no solution at all... just a workaround to a bug.
The bug was in the C# side of things (which I ignored, thinking it was from the MSDN, it'll be fine. Don't do that!). It was taking my data and forcing it into ASCII - hence the nonsense. If I looked at the raw data all was fine.
So, my Send Data now looks like this:
int SocketClient_Winsock::Send(char* msg, int msgLength)
{
iResult = send(ConnectSocket, msg, msgLength, 0);
if (iResult == SOCKET_ERROR) {
printf("send failed with error: %d\n", WSAGetLastError());
closesocket(ConnectSocket);
WSACleanup();
return 1;
}
return 0;
};
and is called by:
sock.Send((char*)buffer, BUFFER_LEN);

How can I convert IP range to Cidr in C#?

There has lots of example of convert CIDR to ip range. But I want to know how can I use start/end ip address to generate a/some cidr in C#?
for example:
I have start ip address(192.168.0.1) and end ip address(192.168.0.254). So use these two address to generate cidr list {192.168.0.0/31, 192.168.0.2/32}. Is there any C# code example?

CIDR class with static methods to split an IP range into a minimal set of disjoint CIDR ranges, which cover exactly the original IP range.
The split methods (the "real" one working on BigIntegers doing the actual work, and the wrapper for IP addresses and CIDR creation) are at the bottom.
Use with foreach (IPRangeToCidr.CIDR c in IPRangeToCidr.CIDR.split(first, last)) ...

It is difficult to determine the what exactly is being asked here (the CIDR list you give doesn't seem to correspond with the given input addresses), however the following code will allow you to find the smallest single CIDR that contains the specified start and end addresses.
You need to first convert the start and end IP addresses into 32 bit integers (e.g. 192.168.0.1 becomes 0xc0a80001), then apply the following algorithm:
var startAddr = 0xc0a80001; // 192.168.0.1
var endAddr = 0xc0a800fe; // 192.168.0.254
// Determine all bits that are different between the two IPs
var diffs = startAddr ^ endAddr;
// Now count the number of consecutive zero bits starting at the most significant
var bits = 32;
var mask = 0;
while (diffs != 0)
{
// We keep shifting diffs right until it's zero (i.e. we've shifted all the non-zero bits off)
diffs >>= 1;
// Every time we shift, that's one fewer consecutive zero bits in the prefix
bits--;
// Accumulate a mask which will have zeros in the consecutive zeros of the prefix and ones elsewhere
mask = (mask << 1) | 1;
}
// Construct the root of the range by inverting the mask and ANDing it with the start address
var root = startAddr & ~mask;
// Finally, output the range
Console.WriteLine("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}/{4}", root >> 24, (root >> 16) & 0xff, (root >> 8) & 0xff, root & 0xff, bits);
Running it on the two addresses in your question gives:
192.168.0.0/24

Necromancing.
No, there wasn't, and I don't understand why people keep upvoting wrong answers.

I use this for IpV4, let me know if there is a problem in it.

I would recommend the use of IPNetwork Library https://github.com/lduchosal/ipnetwork.
As of version 2, it supports IPv4 and IPv6 as well.
Supernet
IPNetwork network = IPNetwork.Parse("192.168.0.1");
IPNetwork network2 = IPNetwork.Parse("192.168.0.254");
IPNetwork ipnetwork = IPNetwork.Supernet(network, network2);
Console.WriteLine("Network : {0}", ipnetwork.Network);
Console.WriteLine("Netmask : {0}", ipnetwork.Netmask);
Console.WriteLine("Broadcast : {0}", ipnetwork.Broadcast);
Console.WriteLine("FirstUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.FirstUsable);
Console.WriteLine("LastUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.LastUsable);
Console.WriteLine("Usable : {0}", ipnetwork.Usable);
Console.WriteLine("Cidr : {0}", ipnetwork.Cidr);
Output
Network : 192.168.0.0
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
Broadcast : 192.168.0.255
FirstUsable : 192.168.0.1
LastUsable : 192.168.0.254
Usable : 254
Cidr : 24
Have fun !

I found this C code and converted it into C# and it's working now.
