I would like to know can we use a socket connection on vb to communicate with PC without using GSM modem and SIM card.for example, like sendin a simple text msg to the PC and it will reply back the result back to me the result.
View 1 RepliesI'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 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.
I have started socket programming since last few days. I'm able to communicate when the server and client programs are run on the same computer (by specifying IP as 127.0.0.1) or on different computer which are on LAN(192.168.x.x .... etc.). But the problem is that i'm not able to communicate through internet when i provide Internet IP Address (assigned by my ISP) of computer on which server program is running.
Here's my code :
Server :
Imports System.Net.Sockets

I didn't make this code but can someone explain to me how to add more than one client to communicate to add to this code?e.g 3 people to talk or is it not possible?

View 4 RepliesI have a VB.net app running on one computer, displaying text into 2 texboxes or labels.I need to see the two values in two sperate textboxes or labels from the two labels on another computer via a null modem serial adapter.
1st computer.
Code:
serialport1.writeline(label1.txt)
straight forward right?
2nd computer to read the data
Code:
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
dim s as new string = serialport1.readline()
label1.text = s
This is what I was thinking;
Code:
serialport.writeline(label1.text & label2.text
This would send the two values over the serial port. How would I seperate the two values and display them in two different texboxes?cannot use them together)Am I on the right path at all? Or using the serialport.writeline method won't work at all....
I have a problem with something.I have a Arduino board I wan't to communicate with by serialport.

I'm new to network programming and i'm trying to write a server that can communicate with multiple clients through tcp/ip, the clients need to communicate with the server to and with the other clients. Currently i've got a client server program that works fine for only one client:

I'll guess to accept multiple clients i have to create some clienthandler class at server side, but i have no idea which code it has to contain, i've already spend hours searching on google but didn't find anything usefull. Can somebody help me with this ?
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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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.

View 8 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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 been struggling to find a solution for this problem. What I need to do is build a server application that accepts tcp client requests from different clients running on same port say:1003. I experimented by using asynchronous mode call backs etc. but it disconnects once connection is established and does not respond for further requests from the same client.

i need a little advice/help here. There is a particular scenario that is coming up and I am clueless as to how to go about it."I will soon have a lease line through which I will get realtime stock market data. This data will be available every second and it will contain prices of stocks. Now assume I am able to get that data on my local computer. How can I transmit data so that users can get that data through my software.
For e.g. assume it's 11 AM. Now if you select a stock e.g. Google, then my program should fetch data for google till 11 AM and also show new data every second or so with minimum lag. Something like a terminal where you see stock prices getting updates every second. In my case I need to get past data and show current data which get updated at short intervals."
Now I have a linux vps webserver which hosts my site. (I get one or two static ip free) What to do so that data goes from my local computer to my server and then my program (developed in vb.net) is able to get it and show it to end user. This whole system should such that its fast (real-time) and delay is minimum.
im trying to detect if the connection is still active upon trying to send or receive anything. Now I have checks in place if it's connected then it will send or receive however... it's saying it's connected when it is not connected... and therefore my program tries to send and receive and errors.
I am determining if it is ok to send and receive by using the Socket.Poll(-1, SelectMode.SelectWrite)
if it's true then im connected and data can be passed..This seems to always be true until I send something and it fails..How can I catch the socket not being connected before it fails upon sending or receiving?
For almost a week I am reading and trying to find a solution for checking connection state using a TCP Client (using socket class) In my scenario I have a TCP Client that is connected to a server (it is not controlled by me) and i want that from time to time to check the connection state, and reconnect if necessary.I have read a lot of information on the internet but i did not find a suitable solution.Briefly, these are the methods that i have found on the internet and try to implement.But unfortunatelly, i have found some scenarios where the TCP Server is closed and the TCP Client is still saying Connected 1.Example from MSDN
