I would like to create my own application that will simply discover the wireless networks in the area, similar to how the wireless card software works. I don't really know where to start, except with maybe the System.Net namespace.

I am using VB 2008 and doing the project on office 2007. I've created a Ribbon (Visual Designer) and put a button. Now thats all I've done. I'm still researching on how to make it so that when I press the button , a box will appear and at the side of the box will be something like" Search, Stop, Select, Cancel" buttons the box will be a container where when search is pressed, the wireless/LAN connections will be displayed.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a system where multiple client apps are going to communicate with a server app. I will probably use TCPIP classes to facilitate the communication.
However, is there a way that a client install can automatically discover the location of the server software on another machine?
I have VSTO Excel addins (.net 3.5) and need to know when the Excel wookbook is being opened in a Browser rather than the Excel client. I haven't figured out a way to do this nor found a solution online and I suspect I am just not using the right seach words. Does anyone know how to do this?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a little application in visual studio which loads a ROM in an emulator. I have two emulators and 20 ROMs.I made a form and added a few buttons. When you click the Button it opens a new form and closes the old one. Then on the new form I have four buttons: each one loads a different ROM in an emulator. So when you press Button1 this code is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles yellow.Click
Shell("C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesEmulatorVBAVisualBoyAdvance.exe ""C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesRomsYellowPokemon Yellow.gb""", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
It works fine - I click it and it loads the game in the emulator. The bit im having trouble with is the file paths. If I send this application to a friend, it would still look for "C:UsersshiftyDesktop" - but that's on my computer, not his.Is there a way to make the application look for the file on his computer (without changing the file path to (C:Users""his user name""Desktop))

The matrix called MyMat(9,9) The rows of this matrix represent the source node (From Node) and the columns represents target node (To Node). It has 14 links which are randomly distributed. The non zero values represent the connections between nodes.

I am working on a video chat program and I have almost everything working on my network I now need to figure out how to establish comunication between two clients from diffrent networks without having a middle person to switch each meassage to each other.
To clarify: I belive that I need to have a server running that each client when they start up the program will login to the server handing thier external ipaddress and port forward to get to each respective client, this will be stored in a SQL database (I know how to add the data just not hwo to get it from the source)
Then the server would brodcast the clients name to anyone that is authorized to know (currently everyone) and has there data stored on the server.Finnaly when the client shouts down it sends out the logging-off comand and deletes the adressing information from the server.The client programs will be windows form applications that use the tcpclient connection to send text meassage And the server application will be I hope a webapp.
I have a form with two listboxes. The user selected the directory using a FolderBrowserDialog1 then my program searches the directory and displays a list of files. They them select the files they want to store under a project name and the names are placed in a database. My problem is it stores the mapped file path not the network path. (ie N:examples estfile.txt I need \myserverexamples estfiles.txt) That is because the person that reads this database may not have their network drives mapped to the same letters.
View 2 RepliesI need test data for a IP Subnet calculator I have developed. I have tested some obvious scenarios, and all seems good, but the person developing can often be the wrong person to test.
The calculator can do one of two things:
1 - Given an existing network and CIDR (mask), and a new CIDR it will create a number of networks with the appropriate number of hosts.
2 - Given an existing network and CIDR (mask), and a list of c,h, (c = count, h=number of hosts) it will create the networks.
there anyway to retrieve the SSID of the network the pc's currently connected to or the list of available networks? I've googled for examples, but I only find vb.net 2005 examples that don't work in vb.net 2008

View 1 Repliesi'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for ppt.
ok i'm going to delete the other thread. i'm going to rephrase and try to explain as clearly as possible.
I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.
Is there a way that VB.net can identify the encryption type of a wireless network? Just identify it, i'm not looking to do anything further than that and yet just about every search result i get from google wants to tell me how to sniff wep keys etc. Don't care, just want to know what type of encryption the network is using?

how to incorporate a PIC with VB.
I`m trying to find out the steps needed to achieve that, i`m i correct?
1) i need to find a PIC that is suitable for my project (to handle wireless motion sensors)?
2) I need to write the code for the PIC? (does the manufacture of the PIC provides an environment to write the assembly language?)
3) Then i need to write the vb code?
4) Finally to use a serial port to create a communication between VB and PIC. Also are their any all ready made PIC`s that can support VB code direct without the need of writing the assembly code?
