Communications :: TcpClient/Listener ?

Jan 16, 2010

I'm having a hard time getting the fundamentals down about these TCP Socket classes.

When you use TcpClient, you can set the IP Address or domain name to connect to the server end of the socket. I see examples that use "localhost" as the first parameter for TcpClient. Is this just a broadcast over the network to find the server that has a TcpListener listening on the dictated port of the second parameter of the TcpClient declaration? With any IP address for TcpClient (I realize that's an option, though), how does "localhost" find the TcpListener server?

.net - Difference Between New TcpClient(MachineName, Port) And New TcpClient(new IPEndpoint?

Mar 31, 2011

I have a .Net program that has to run on a cluster of server 2008. To find out the right IP I resolve the dns by GetHostEntry(VarDefinedInfConfig).AddressList(0)

but when I am converting my old code (this code picks the wrong IP) dns.GetHostName().AddressList(0) => this returns a virtual IP and not the right one.So I changed my TcpListener to (dns is parameter from config)Dim listener As TcpListener = New TcpListener(New IPEndPoint(Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(dns).AddressList(0), 8001))
listener.Start()

Communications :: Send A Command Via RS232 Communications

Jan 26, 2009

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

Threading Clients Using A Tcp Listener?

Dec 2, 2009

(Using vb 2008 express.)

I am trying to create a server to send clients text on request. I am using a tcp listener to accept clients then send each client to a thread in a threadpool which deals with each client's request then closes the client connection. It seems to work fine but I would like to know how it works. Using the listen loop below I cant help feeling I should be sending some values to the threaded sub. How does it know which client each thread is dealing with?

Sub ListenLoop()

Client = Server.AcceptTcpClient

Event Driven Tcp Listener Method?

Aug 23, 2011

I'm another newbie with VB (2010) so please bear with me. I am attempting to make a method that is event driven by data threads on the Ethernet port. Simply put, the method is to wait until a data thread from a "Control By Web" 5-input device sends an "information update" data packet to the application, with the application then processing the information. This application is on a private, well controlled network, with no access to the internet. I have a method that is working right now reading data packets when invoked with a timer (see code below) but I really need it to be event driven.

' this is added at the top of the class
Dim tcplistener As New TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, ip_port)
'this is added in the "form1_load" module

How To Use Infinite Loops In Event Listener

May 1, 2012

I am trying to build a small window component, which has two buttons.

When I click on the Start button, my code needs to establish the connection to server and keep checking the status (this is infinite loop, I have a boolean global variable which is set to true and based on this loop will work).

When I click on stop button, it should stop checking (I will make global variable to false).

I have code to check my server status.

However, since it is kind of infinite loop, moment i click on start, window form is not taking any other actions, since the control not coming out of event listener of start button.

I have many scenarios like this kind of infinite loops.

How to resolve this, what kind of approch should i follow in vb.

SMTP Listener Corrupting HTML?

Jan 30, 2009

I have an SMTP listener that accepts incoming connections and routes the message to a folder using FileStream. I have to add x-sender: email@address.com and x-receiver: email@address.com to the first two lines of the file so it can be put in a pickup folder for relay later. It seems as though this way of handling the incoming stream is corrupting the HTML in the email message body. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong or a suggestion that would point me in the right direction regarding what I am missing?

Using HTTP Listener To Parse URL Parameters?

Jul 7, 2011

I intend to write a .NET application that does logging and analytics to data using VS 2010. I want to link my application with an external non .NET application via intranet. This external application provides integration through URL triggers. When an event occurs it can send this event parameters to any application via HTTP/HTTPS POST or GET requests. It allows me to select the event parameters to be included in the HTTP request that will be sent as URL parameters. URL parameters consist of a name and a value, and are separated from the URL with a question mark (?).

So an example request can look like this: [URL] any dynamic elements in the URL are displayed in brackets (<>), and are replaced by the corresponding event used at run time.

Now what design method should I follow to create a component in my application to listen to the URL request and parse it's elements. Knowing that I want to protect my URL listener with a username and password.

Vb2008 Creating A Port Listener?

I am using vb2008. I am creating a port listener. When I test the listener I get an exception in the code as shown below.I send one record through ("Hello") . When it tries to read again I get the error. This read would result in EOF. When this happens, shouldn't i go to 0? Instead it keeps its previous value of 5 which is the number of characters in "Hello"

VS 2008 TCP Listener - Only Responds To 1st Message?

Apr 8, 2009

OK this is my third thread on TCP problems and the first two I managed to figure out for myself within 10 mins of posting before anyone had a chance to reply so lets see if it works again - failing that if you have any advice I'd be most grateful.

I have a server app which should be sitting and listening for messages on one port (4000) and then processing requests and sending data back via another TCP client on a different port (4001). My code is based on someone else's example and it works fine sending and receiving the first message, however after the first message the listener seems to stop listening and never gets any further messages.

Am I misunderstanding how they work? After I get the first message do I need to close the listener and create a new one, or should the same listener keep working until I close it?

I create a small program witch is a tcp client.I sent a asqii string to a tcp device over ethernet thads acts like a server.As soon as the device recieves the input string it will respond back with response data.

VS 2008 Intercept Specific URLS - Create A Listener Type Application

Sep 30, 2009

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a listener type application that would monitor webaddresses that the user attempts to go to. And can then either block or redirect the browser to another website. Purpose: I know this seems to sound a little weird but what I'm attempting to do is a NetNanny type application that can run on the user's PC and the allow, prevent, rewrite (would look for particular keywords and rewrite them "words I wouldn't want my 7yr old seeing or reading), or redirect to other webpages. I would also like to be able to handle both IE and Firefox browser with this one application.

Tcplistener / Tcpclient Over LAN

Apr 22, 2012

I am creating an application that will be talking over the LAN (and eventually, WAN) which uses the Tcplistener and Tcpclient objects.Now, I have this working absolutely fine locally using the loopack address although when I change the IP of the listener to 0.0.0.0 (listening for all IPs) and the IP in the client application, to the IP of the server, it throws an exception when connecting. The client says something along the lines of the the server has rejected the incoming connection. So i disabled all firewalls temporarily but I still have the problem.I have ran netstat on the server which clearly shows that it is listening for an incoming connection on 0.0.0.0. [code]

.net - Working Of Tcpclient Sockets In .net?

Jun 2, 2011

I have an application in vb.net which will connect with an hardware device and test its functionality. The hardware device basically spits out data continuosly through Ethernet. That is it recieves some data via com ports and spits out the processed data via ethernet.So my application does both. Thats pretty much the entire app.My problem is i am using tcpclient sockets. Now when i connect a tcpclient to the device using

tcpclient.open(ip,port);

Immediately the device sends some data which comes and get stored in the clientsocket. Then i send a command to it ,only then i read the data from the clientsocket using

tcpclient.getstream().read()

at this time the entire data that is the one which flowed immediately when connected to the device and the one that i actually need after passing command is both acquired. This is undesirable. I need the data which i read only after sending the command. So i was wondering if there is any way to clear the tcpclient socket before we do a read. The manual doesnt show any such method.

Using the sample code in this thread I have now created a Client and Server app which is successfully sending messages over a network between two machines.

Now that I am able to send simple text messages I would like to progress to my intended pratice of sending more complex information between the machines. I have already written a program which generates and stores data with a class which I use as a data type. I would like to be able to pass this class from one machine to another.
