I have the following C# Code :-


C#:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

How can I code in C# to try the Hex values, 0x00 to 0xFF in this code for input_byte == , i.e what should I type in the posted Code, to try the range each hex value in turn ? I looked on the internet about ranges in c# but I didn't find anything suitable, to help me with.

What I have tried:

I have tried altering the input_byte values. But I need to be able, to try all possible combineations, of all individual Hex Values i.e. there are either 255 or 256. Where it says input_byte == in the Code. I wrote, and also copy and pasted 4x256, else if Statements in my latest modification, of my Program.cs Code. But I don't Think the Compiled Program, is doing what I wan't to achieve.

I asked a person who has a knowledge of C# he said maybe I could try the following in a for loop ? :-

C#:
for(int nSomething=0; nSomething<256: n++) { doSomething(nSomething);}

Could someone suggest a modification I could make, to my original Code, using the above C# code, to achieve what I want ? obviously the Something would be replaced with other text ? I am okay with all output Files, being saved to the same Folder. There is a seperate C# Code called Bitmap.cs, which makes up the unpac program. any help would be much appreciated. Eddie Winch

Here a a few lines, of the 4x256 else if Statements in my Code :-
