[SRC][SNP] FUD CodeDom Compiler ( RunPe ) [VB.NET]

This is a FUD ( for now ) RunPE / CodeDom Compiler, that was made by ByteBlast.
First, make a project with Form1 and add:
1 TextBox
1 Button

Code for Form1:

Imports System.Text
Imports System.CodeDom.Compiler

Public Class MainForm

    ''' 

    ''' Compilation [compiling] is the process of 'converting' a high level language such as VB.NET into 0's and 1's (low level language).
    ''' This method uses a series of classes and their methods available in the CodeDom.Compiler Namespace.
    ''' 
    ''' Path to write the executable.     ''' Syntax / Source code is just a string of text. You need to specify the code you wish to compile.     ''' 
    Private Sub Compile(ByVal ExecutableName As String, ByVal SourceCode As String)

        'The CreateProvider method returns a CodeDomProvider instance for the specificed language name.
        'This instance is later used when we have finished specifying the parmameter values.
        Dim Compiler As CodeDomProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("VisualBasic")

        'Optionally, this could be called Parameters. 
        'Think of parameters as settings or specific values passed to a method (later passsed to CompileAssemblyFromSource method).
        Dim Settings As New CompilerParameters

        'The CompileAssemblyFromSource method returns a CompilerResult that will be stored in this variable.
        Dim Result As CompilerResults = Nothing

        '- Experiment with more properties in the CompileParameter class by typing "Settings." and exploring IntelliSense.

        'Generates an executable instead of a class library.
        Settings.GenerateExecutable = True

        'Set the assembly file name / path
        Settings.OutputAssembly = ExecutableName

        'Set assemblies referenced by the source code.
        Settings.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll")

        '/target:library, /target:win, /target:winexe
        Settings.CompilerOptions = " /target:winexe"

        'Determine if you want to treat all warnings as errors (ever noticed the green underscore in the Visual Studio? That indicates a warning).
        Settings.TreatWarningsAsErrors = False

        'Read the documentation for the result again variable.
        'Calls the CompileAssemblyFromSource that will compile the specified source code using the parameters specified in the settings variable.
        Result = Compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(Settings, SourceCode)

        'Determines if we have any errors when compiling if so loops through all of the CompileErrors in the Reults variable and displays their ErrorText property.
        If (Result.Errors.Count <> 0) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Exception Occured!", "Whops!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
            For Each E As CompilerError In Result.Errors
                MessageBox.Show(E.ErrorText)
            Next
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub BuildButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'Source code is located in Resources.
        'Obtain the source and replace WEBSITE_URL with the specified URL by the user. [Process.Start("[WEBSITE_URL]")].
        Dim Source As String = My.Resources.Source.Replace("[WEBSITE_URL]", TextBox1.Text)

        'Displays a SaveFileDialogue, determines if the user clicked ok [error trap] and calls the user defined compile method.
        Dim S As New SaveFileDialog
        With S
            .Filter = "Executable (*.exe)|*.exe"
            If (.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
                Compile(.FileName, Source)
            End If
        End With
    End Sub
    Private Function ConvertBytesToString(ByVal bytes As Byte()) As String
        Return ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes)
    End Function
    Private Function ConvertStringToBytes(ByVal str As String) As Byte()
        Return ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str)
    End Function
   
End Class

Then add to resources "Source.txt", that contains:

Imports System.Diagnostics

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Process.Start("[WEBSITE_URL]")
    End Sub

End Module

[SNP] Convert Bytes array to String and String to Bytes array [VB.NET]

Firstly:

Imports System.Text

And then add the functions:

   Private Function ConvertBytesToString(ByVal bytes As Byte()) As String
        Return ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes)
    End Function
    Private Function ConvertStringToBytes(ByVal str As String) As Byte()
        Return ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str)
    End Function

You can use it as this:

      'This is how you convert string to bytes array
        Dim Data() As Byte = ConvertStringToBytes("String to be converted")
        'And this is the reverse one
        Dim STR As String = ConvertBytesToString(Data)
     

[SNP] Convert Base64 string to BItmap / Image / Picturebox.Image [VB.NET]

Okay, this is the second part of :
[SNP] Convert Image / PictureBox Image / Bitmap to string / text [VB.NET]


Here is a function, that will convert the Base64 string to Bitmap / Image back again.

But first:

Imports System.IO

Then:

 Public Function StringToBitmap(ByVal sImageData As String) As Bitmap
        Try
            Dim ms As New MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(sImageData))
            Dim bmp As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromStream(ms)
            Return bmp
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function

Use it like this:

 Dim IMG As Bitmap = StringToBitmap("PUT CONVERTED IMAGE'S STRING HERE")

Or like this:

   PictureBox1.Image = StringToBitmap("PUT CONVERTED IMAGE'S STRING HERE")

Do not forget, that if you put the image's string in a textbox, it may limit the default lenght of the textbox.text.


[SNP] Convert Image / PictureBox Image / Bitmap to string / text [VB.NET]

[SNP] Convert Image / PictureBox Image / Bitmap to string / text [VB.NET]

I am sorry for the long delay, but here we go again !

A code to convert your bitmap/picturebox image to string and another one to reverse it.

But you must: Imports System.IO first ;)

 Public Function BitmapToString(ByVal bImage As Bitmap) As String
        Try
            Dim data As String
            Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream
            bImage.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
            data = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray())

            Return data
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return String.Empty
        End Try
    End Function

Use it as this:

        Dim STR As String = BitmapToString(BITMAPIMAGE)

Or like this:

  Dim STR As String = BitmapToString(PictureBox1.Image)

The next post will be about a function, to convert it back to image/bitmap
