Communications :: Socket - Connecting To Port 80 Of Server
Apr 21, 2008
I am new to socket communication. I found a few samples on the web and I managed to make my own host-client communication but i wanted to go a bit further and connect to port 80 of a server and it was just a disaster! First of all I know I can just use the functions that vb has itself but I want to make my own connections ... I have got some reasons I need this one! Do I really have to make them "connect" or just somehow without connecting I get the data? So I'm stack at the point that the connection is made ... it refuses to connect.

works fine for my purposes for checking for a new file version, but it still locks up the UI when it is connecting to the server. Once it connects, the UI unlocks but I'd like to eliminate the brief 3 second lag it causes.

I wanted to know what are the risks of opening up a socket server on a specified port? Right now I have it limited to only accept requests from 1 specific IP to that port and all the other ones get rejected (using the windows firewall), is there a way to implement an authentication or anything else so I can allow it to be accessed from any IP worldwide yet have it secured?

I am trying to get my 4 port USB relay board to work in VB.net using the COM PORT. I found some code from a poster who has the 16 port USB relay version. When trying his code i can only get it to turn on relays 1-3 all at the same time. The product can be found here: USB 4 port relay
"01+//" - Relay 1 is switched ON
"01-//" - Relay 1 is switched OFF
"02+//" - Relay 2 is switched ON
"02-//" - Relay 2 is switched OFF
[code].....
So i am confused as to how to separate each relay out with that code above and just be able to turn on any number 1-4 relay on or off independently from each other!

I wrote a Socket Client which will send the Socket Server some data and get some response from Server. This process will be running once in every 2 seconds.
Now what I need to know is How we can identify the connection lost between Server and Client?
I need this to be implemented in the Client side. If there is no connection then Client should automatically close the connection. Once the connection with the server is available in the next attempt it should connect automatically.

Using the Socket raw, with XP I can read without problems both the incoming packets and the outgoing packets. With Vista (I have tried also others Sniffers) is impossible to see the outgoing packets...WHY? what I have to do to see alse the outgoing packets? In reality I have not to read packet data or packet lenght... I need only to count the number of incoming packets and outgoing packets... but with Vista this job seems impossible... or not?

I'm working on an application that communicates to torque controllers on the factor floor. The user inputs an IP address and a port and clicks the btnConnect button to make the initial connection. Once that completes a KeepAlive message must be sent periodically to maintain communication with the torque controller. The initial connection works very well but a socket error (see below) grinds everything to a halt when the KeepAlive message is sent. I would appreiciate any ideas the readers may have on the root cause. I'm quite confused because basically the same code is use for both the initial connection and then the KeepAlive messages. I have pasted some of the code as well below.

I am using VB.NET and I am designing a generic network architecture in which data can be transmitted in various ways. I am wanting to strip down things as much as possible, and I do not want to transmit in plain text. My question today is regarding ideas and example code (if applicable) as far as parsing binary data that is sent over the wire in VB.NET.I want each packet to have a very generic architecture such as <packet type> <address> <payload> or whatnot. I understand that I can use certain bytes as delimiters for these packet fields. I don't necessarily want to serialize everything being that for security reasons, the same library has to be used to deserialize the data.
a) Put my protocol into binary data where each field is delimited using a certain byte
b) Parse that data from binary at the other end.
Once again, I don't want to use plaintext since this can cause a bunch of overhead in comparison.

Im having problem with the Serial Port. When i run my program, "Access to the port 'COM1' is denied". What does that mean? Im not sure whats happening because theres no error in my code. Someone suggest me to use 'COM2'. Which is also the same result. I have a microcontroller, programmed and run it. And i need to capture the data onto my vb, which is on a multiline textbox. How to i do that?Just to double check my code?

I m into automation development of FMCG products using Micro-controllers. I get real time data Barcode 2D from TCP/IP connection. My task is to compare the result do some Computation with them and Store the incoming Barcode and results into a Excel sheet in a folder. I m successful with the basic working. Am currently working at slow speed of 1 barcode(22 char info) per second from the TCP/IP data (barcode scanner). Now, comes the real issue. I need to process atleast 5 barcodes per sec ( <200ms per process). I m partially successful with 3 Barcode per second(300 ms per process). so, thats like 300ms per processing. I need to achieve less than 200ms for entire processing. I have used threads and timers. but I m unable to achieve. Seems like storing in Excel takes more than 250ms. Since i come from micro controllers background 1msec is a lotta time to process for me. I m not sure how much time does it take and trust me i find it difficult to guage the time here.

I have created a Client that can send and receive data via TCP sockets. The objects stored on the serverside are the *exact* same object used for the client. They use the same send and receive protocols.
Now, when i send a string from the server to the client , it does precisely what it should do. However when I send a string to the server.... I do receive the string as an equal length of NULL characters. I run the server and client locally.
Basicly what can influence the behaviour between two completely identical objects performing the exact same task? I wonder if there is some socketflag issue if the TCPlistener.accept function returns a completely different setup then the one I R used to.
(if it is of any interest, the send protocol is asynchronious)

I have a device which send me data over a particular port. The data is in XML Format.
Now I already did a small console application which listen for the data and print out the data on the screen.
Now my plans are to deserialize the xml data or I will create the insert statement into the database.
1) The device send me the data every second (if there is data to send me).
2) I cannot say how much data the device is going to send me.
How can I make sure to capture all data without loose any information..

For many years, I have sent data between 2 computers using serial ports."Here is the data", "Thank you for that data!" type stuff.Where do I get more information for doing the same thing with 2 computers that are networked together? Assume a local ethernet connection.I have experimented with serial-ethernet modems and that works well but I don't want any more hardware.Is there a good thread here I should read?I want 2 VB programs running and I want to exchange data periodically.

I'm having this problem with a networked app in vb.net. If the program exits normally the port closes fine, however, if it crashes sometimes it remains open and I am unable to close it. The next time I run the program it is unable to open the port because it is already in use. Here's the exception: 10048: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted on how I can reclaim this port, or how I can close it? I tried using the reuse address socket option

I am trying to listen to the COM3 port and display the output in the TextBox. If I understood correctly I will have to implement this by using eventhandlers, delegates. I tried following these articles:
[URL]
And this is the code I came up with... Unfortunately it doesn't display anything. App just starts display "True" and no data is being displayed. I am monitoring Arduino platform which I know is sending data constantly.
Code:
Imports System.IO.Ports
Imports System.Text
Public Class ArduinoSerial

I am really new into the vb.net. I am sure there are some horrible mistakes with this code but I am kind of stuck for the past 2 days on this one.

My current project is a program that collects meteorolgical data on one computer and allows to access it from any other computer on the net.Everything is working fine so far - it is collecting the data, doing some computation and then listening (as server, TCP) on some port for a client who is interested in downloading this data.When it receives some short command string (something like "GET DATA") it just starts sending the data to the client. The transmission works.
At this point I am getting a bit nervous because I absolutely have no idea on the programming basis of viruses and other malware:When the program is listening on the port (for which I have to allow an exception in the firewall) is there any danger that malware from outside intrudes into the computer?(running Windows XP with latest service packs installed, firewall enabled, antivirus-program installed (is this necessary if there is absolutely no internet activity on the computer besides of this data sampling / server program?)).
If there is danger, what could I do to protect the computer aside from closing the port which I need for communication with the external world?Can you point me to some URL where I can alleviate my ignorance of the basics of malware functioning (on the software level)?

I'm writing a remote desktop software that starts a connection in reverse mode, using RDP API. My problem is that I try to setup the port that the listening socket may use, but it seems not working: it uses always a random port. [Code] The problem is the seems PortId is ignored: my connection string reports other ports number, and the incoming socket is open on port different from 4000.

I'm trying to receive data from the serial port and display onto a text box in my gui in vb. I'm using xp pro sp2 and vb 2008 exp.What i've done so far:
- I'm able to send data successfully (tested) to the serial port
- I can dispaly what data is being sent (tested)
Steps taken:
- I have looked around on this forum for something similar to what I have but no similar posts are here
- Will look into MSDN help shortly
- Will also try some vb books I have lying around. But the problem is most of the vb books deal with sql server and database stuff and not really interfacing to hardware.

i have an application where i send data(a question in a "packet" of 8 digits) to an external controller via serial port, and then that controller sends me back some information(the answer, in a "packet" of 8 digits, not necesarily zeros and ones)I have develope a simply software that is getting the correct data form the controller, here it goes:[code]So now i can see how many times the code needs to enter the loop to get the "answer" from the module.Now i know that the code needs to do the loop from 5000 to 18000 times to get the answer each time!!!!, so that is why the software keeps getting freeze.I supose that that time is neccesary for the module to give the answer, so i think i can't get better respond times, but i would like the software not to get halt.

I'm writing an app with takes 3 readings off LCD displays via serial ports. The module which scans the serial ports is getting stuck in a loop for around 1.5 seconds. I need it to be much quicker than that. Is there a way I can setup a virtual serial port so I can run test it on my PC. Its very tedious and time consuming of making changes and visiting the machine its for.
