Communications :: Sending Messages In VB 2008?
Jan 15, 2009I'm in a programming class, and I need to make a game. Is there an easy way I can send messages, like "w" or "down", between 2 computers so I can have a multiplayer game?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying TCP communication using VB.NET and using the TcpClient method.All is working fine but I'm having trouble keeping my message seperate from each other.For example, my message have an header and footer and can range in size from very small (32 bytes) to quite large (64k). The problem I have is that when messages are being sent quickly they will arrive together. For example, if two 32 byte messages are sent they will arrive as 64 bytes. This is no good as I need to process them seperately.
So my question is:- Is there a way to easily separate my messages using a built in feature of the TcpClient so that the "reading" will give me the correct amount of bytes each time corresponding to the amount of bytes I have sent per message?
I am trying to add functionality to an existing program that can send a message from a Windows XP and Windows 7 computer to a group of computers that are running XP and Windows 7. Previously I was doing this with Net Send but as we are no purchasing
Windows 7 machines when we need to replace old computers, that is no longer an option.
I would prefer to have the message appear as a popup on the receiving computers as this is for calling for assistance from a supervisor or the QC department and they will not have to send a response.
I'm working on a program that detects any keyboard or mouse activity, and sends a message through the MSN (or Windows Live Messenger) protocol. The mouse and keyboard thing should be fine, but I don't know how to send messages through the MSN protocol.

View 1 RepliesI have made a app that allows me to keep track of when bills are due, it allows 8 bills and dates to be entered and once the time hits a specified time of day and the day that the bill is due it sends a text message to my phone, it works fine if only one of them are enable but if 2 are due the same day it seems to only send the first on that completes the if statement i made heres my code, the timer is set for ever 1 second tick (otherwise it sends multiple texts of the same bill due) This is the first 2 of the bills but the other 6 are the same
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick

A little while back, someone asked the question "How can I send an SMS text message via a VB program?", and it's not the first time that I've seen this asked. I thought, as a little side project (mainly just to get my head away from 'real work' for a while). Of course there are several ways this can be done, including the use of a GSM modem, but this only focuses on one aspect: Sending an SMS message via e-mail.
Rather than clogging this forum with a lot of code and screenshots, I've put it all together on my site.
I was looking for an easy way to send Messages to other Applications on the same computer. Something simple like "SendMessage("MySecondApplication",WMI_USERS,"MESSAGE").
View 1 RepliesI'm realizing a .NET chat application but i still have that error: I can send only a message per connection. For example. With the code below, i can send only one message that can be received correctly by the other peer, but if i send another message message, on the same connection,it won't be received by the remote PC. Here is the code:

All,I am trying to implement something so that my VB can be able to send/receive SMS messages to cell phone(modem). I tried researching a bit and found out that we can use MsComm control to do this but it is not available in Visual Basic express 2008 edition. Can we use serial port class to do this? If yes, how could we implement this?

Here's my code in sending the image (To shorten the code, I didn't show how the image is created).

View 5 RepliesNeed some advice on class design. I've just started to use xxxService classes, so not really sure when and how to use them. A number of (identical) client applications connect to this program with socket TcpClient. Different type of messages needs to be sent from several different classes. Should I call a service class, with static methods, whenever I need to send some message (like code below suggests), or should I rather raise an event, and have some class registered to those events, that will format and send the messages.
That would kind of hide that sequence of events from these classes, but on the other hand, it would be a centralized class where one can see easily all events that trigger a message send. Which feels like a benefit. Would like to hear some advice on this. And if my last suggestion makes sense, what could such class be called, and would it be considered a ..Service class?
Example: (code is a bit "rough")
Class UserConnection
tcpClient As TcpClient
Public Sub SendMsg(msg as String)

How would I create a multi-tcp chat room. Im having trouble handling them. I know you can store the connections as arrays or store then in hash tables. Is there a better way to data to a specific connected client. My way was to just broadcast the message to all the connected with the clients name (EX: Client1||MessageHere) || is the split. The client reads the message and sees if client name matches if it does then it will display it other then that it will not. I found out that my server was sending out useless data with this method. So is there a better way to handle/Send messages to a specific client?
View 2 RepliesI'd like to create one as I am an affiliate marketer who wants to reach customers based on key words. I don't regard this as spamming since I'm not randomly sending out links its based on key words like I said. Y!A might regard this as spamming anyways but so what. In Yahoo Answers you click the question you want to answer, type in the answer, it takes you to a preview screen, and then you click submit. I suppose the script/program could involve automating this task.
Its not that I need everything to be done when I'm away from the computer, I don't mind working the program at all each time I send a mass amount of messages. Someone created a program a while back that was *supposed* to send bulk messages as they stated in the description but as it turned out this was not an option you could only comment on resolved questions. When I did send mass comments to questions which related to my key words, I clicked the link to confirm my comments went through and they did not! This program was a waste of my time and energy but that's life.

Im using VB2008... Net framework 3.0. Basically I have a barcode scanner that is sending the software data...Everything is working fine if I interface the scanner as a keyboard wedge and set the scanner suffix as 'Enter'...In the software I have an event handler on keypress.down...
If keycode.Enter then
.....
.....
....
etc.
However as a RS232 interface I cant get the same result? Hyper terminal reads it perfectly. I've tried all the keypress options but it doesnt work (I assume because it's not actually a key press). when the textbox recieves the CR/LF from RS232? The scanner that does keyboard wedge interfacing is not an option as it is far too expensive for my project.
I want to use spy++ or Winspector But from what i Read they Dont work on windows 7 64bit Correct ? Im trying to read WM_COMMAND Messages from a App.And whenever i Select 'Log Messages' And find the windows etc.Nothing show's up. Is there a alternative ?

I am using VB2008 Express and am curious how to send a command via RS232 communications. The string that I need to send is 02h PON 03h. The start and end bits are 02h and 03h.
How can I convert 02h and 03h to its ascii form. In hyperterminal, I use the sequence {(hold)ALT 0 0 2} on the number pad to send the start bit.
I am using this code currently without the start and end bits
