C strings can contain zeroes inside. But to work with such string, you have to know its length.<br />
<br />
Then you can, for example, print the string contents as hex data:<br />
<br />
for(i=0;i&lt;nStringLength;i+<wbr />+)<br />
&nbsp;printf(&quot;%02X, &quot;,(int) String[i]);<br />
<br />
But you cannot use such string in<br />
<br />
&nbsp; printf(&quot;%s&quot;,String)<br />
<br />
because only initial part of the string, terminated by zero, will be printed.

I need to recieve binary data with an MSComm communications control in VC++ 6.0 with MFC. I know that in VB you can set the InputMode property to binary but I can't find any way to do this in C. The problem is that my data contains bytes with the value zero and input is a string so a zero byte terminates the string.

Binary data with MSComm control in VC++

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
