hey,

so i'm working on a little trainer and i want that the Label will show the player name

tried:
Label2.Text = ReadWritingMemory.ReadInteger("t6zm", &H234BFD4, 4).ToString

like how i make it to read string instead of numbers ?

any ideas ?

Update:
i'm able to change the name but not read it..
Code:
  Public Shared Function ReadMemory(Of T)(ByVal address As Integer) As T
        Return MemoryModule.ReadMemory(Of T)(address, 0, False)
    End Function

    Public Shared Function ReadMemory(ByVal address As Integer, ByVal length As Integer) As Byte()
        Return MemoryModule.ReadMemory(Of Byte())(address, length, False)
    End Function

    Public Shared Function ReadMemory(Of T)(ByVal address As Integer, ByVal value As Object, ByVal unicodeString As Boolean)
        Dim buffer As Byte()
        If (GetType(T) Is GetType(String)) Then
            If unicodeString Then
                buffer = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value.ToString)
            Else
                buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(value.ToString)
            End If
        ElseIf (GetType(T) Is GetType(Byte())) Then
            buffer = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value.ToString)
        Else
            buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(value.ToString)
        End If
        If Not MemoryModule.UpdateProcessHandle Then
            Return CType(Nothing, T)
        End If
        Dim lpBaseAddress As New IntPtr(address)
        Dim dwSize As New IntPtr(buffer.Length)
        If Not MemoryModule.ReadProcessMemory(MemoryModule.ProcessHandle, lpBaseAddress, buffer, dwSize, IntPtr.Zero) Then
            Return CType(Nothing, T)
        End If
        If (GetType(T) Is GetType(Byte())) Then
            Return Conversions.ToGenericParameter(Of T)(buffer)
        End If
        Dim handle As GCHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(buffer, GCHandleType.Pinned)
        Dim local2 As T = Conversions.ToGenericParameter(Of T)(RuntimeHelpers.GetObjectValue(Marshal.PtrToStructure(handle.AddrOfPinnedObject, GetType(T))))
        handle.Free()
        Return local2
    End Function
    Public Shared Function WriteMemory(ByVal address As Integer, ByVal value As Object, ByVal [unicode] As Boolean) As Boolean
        Dim bytes As Byte()
        If Not MemoryModule.UpdateProcessHandle Then
            Return False
        End If
        If TypeOf value Is String Then
            If [unicode] Then
                bytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value.ToString)
            Else
                bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(value.ToString)
            End If
        Else
            bytes = MemoryModule.GetObjectBytes(RuntimeHelpers.GetObjectValue(value))
        End If
        Dim lpBaseAddress As New IntPtr(address)
        Dim nSize As New IntPtr(bytes.Length)
        Return MemoryModule.WriteProcessMemory(MemoryModule.ProcessHandle, lpBaseAddress, bytes, nSize, IntPtr.Zero)
    End Function

 Public Shared Function WriteMemory(ByVal address As Integer, ByVal value As Object) As Boolean
        Return MemoryModule.WriteMemory(address, RuntimeHelpers.GetObjectValue(value), False)
    End Function



And when trying to read the memory with that
Code:
Label2.Text = MemoryModule.ReadMemory(&H234BFD4, AscW((ChrW(0))))


i get this error:
Code:
Error   1   Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'.


and this is how i write memory:
Code:
MemoryModule.WriteMemory(&H234BFD4, (CrystalClearTextBox9.Text & ChrW(0)), False)

the write one is working fine

Read a byte array then convert that to a string. The two methods you are trying to read are just a 4 byte value and not a full string.
