I Want To Create A Server Program On My Computer AndClient Program That Can Run On Other Computers, The Client Program Will Connect To The Server On My Computer, But I Don't Know Code To Do This.
View 1 RepliesI have been a web developer for a number of years now and I am making the move over to form based applications. I am trying to do what I believe should be relatively simple, yet I have no idea where to start.At home I have a machine that family members tend to use P2P programs, which causes my online gaming to suffer with glitches.I want to create a server and client program.where the client app (on my laptop) consists of only one button, when the button is pressed I want the server app (my Desktop) to kill the P2P program.I already know how to kill/start the application in question.I have previously done something similar but I had used winsock (not in VS2010) and was a long time ago.
1) Sending a value/string from the client app
2) receiving the value/string on the server app
I was told to look into the system.net.sockets namespace, but I haven't found anything on the web or here that isn't a full project / over-engineered "Basic Tutorial" that helps to break this down
I am trying to create a server/client program in vb.net. What I am trying to do is test a battery that is running on a handheld (which runs Windows CE 5) by connecting to a "server" and sending information every 10 seconds or so. I am very new to .NET, and am not really sure how to go about doing this. I want two separate applications running, with the server-side keeping all of the data, since the battery is going to die, and I will lose any information if I keep it client-side. I am also new to networking, so I was not sure of whether I should create a Socket, or if I should try to do something else.
View 1 Repliesbasically i just want client to say "C: emp" ENTER
then, server must reply with all its files in c: emp
The problem I have is: When I click on cmdListen in the server form and cmdConnect in the client form,both programs won't respond and they crash for some reason I don't know.

I have been reading through Atheists posts in regards to client-server and TCP client/server connection's. But how do i go about writing a program with 1 client and server where the client side creates a text file.Once the server sees there is a text file it connects and downloads it to itself or the client pushes the text file to the server.Once on the server i will read the text file and put its info into a sql db.

View 1 RepliesI made a simple TCP server (I've found the example on the web) in VB to receive data from about 40 TCP clients.The clients are not synchronized but sends data about every 18 minutes; the problem is sometimes several clients sends data at the same moment, so I can't receive data.I also made a second program that reads the data (server program writes data on a file, read from the second program) scheduled.
My question is this: I've seen on the web examples about Multithreaded Server Socket Program, so I suppose this could manage my 40 clients (but now the clients are syncronized and send data at the same time in client mode) or is better get data (I have a central client that asks data to all 40 devices in server mode)?
Second question: can I make a single program where I run both TCP client and TCP server at the same time?
I am creating a very simple Voting System, that will be use on electing new set of officer in a teacher cooperative...
So I have to create two separate program, a Server Program that will manage all the information in the election and a Client Program where voters will vote their selected candidate...
The election officers wanted that the Server Program will display the Voting Results at real time... So when the Voter finished voting, The Voting Result displayed by the Server Program will also be updated every time the Client Program Insert the data to Database....
An action listener in Server Program that will execute if new data is inserted in a Table in the Database made by the Client Program...
how to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])
View 9 RepliesHey guys, I am trying to send data from client to server (encrypted) and the string sent from the client is not the same as recieved from the server. I've been killing my brain for hours to get this to work but I cant manage. Im converting everything to Base64 string.
Client:
Public Sub SendMessage(ByVal msg As String)
Try
SyncLock myclient.GetStream

View 1 RepliesIm a new in this VS2008. But i have some foundation of programming in VB6.0. So im planning to create this application using VB since im familiar in that language.I downloaded a Visual Studio 2008 and SP1 - now on its 90-day trial, and planning to buy the full version depending if it will meet my needs. I just read afterwards the conditions and how to buy it. I hope its free shipping and credit card is acceptable.^^
I need to make an application something like a reporting system, my plan application is a client-server application. Currently im reading the How to topics and some walkthroughs so far so good. Now here are some sort of details and target need to fulfill.
1. An interface from client that will input the data from the multiple-user , including images and these data will be saved in database/table remote server (center database server) LAN.

I'm trying to make a Client that will automatically run a .DLL that I have created and send information over port 80 to my Server program that will take that data and import it into a database for me. Problem is, I don't know where to start as I have never done this before. I want to do this in VB .NET as this is the programming language that I know. What are methods of doing this? Is there sample code out there for something like this? My google searches are failing me.
A better layout of what I'm trying to do:1. Client Runs .DLL, retrieving information from an Excel file.2. Client takes these properties with the data it contains and sends it to a program outside of the local network through port 80, my boss refuses to let me use any other port.3. Server accepts the data and builds its own properties to be imported into my Access Database.4. Repeat over, and over, and over, and over.
I plan for the server application to be a console application, and the client to be a windows form.
I am trying to code a client - server program. I have 4 winsock controls on my main form. The client is able to connect to a free one just fine, and can figure out if they are all in use. When testing my program, I found that when I try to send data through a socket, then send different data directly after, it jumbles the data together.
CODE:
That is the code I am using. When the client is connected to the server, and ready for data, it sends the packet "@Ab". When the server receives this packet, It is supposed to send the welcome alert, and then current events posted in the server.
On the client side, there is a message box that is supposed to show the welcome alert, and at the bottom on a status strip, the current events are supposed to be listed.
When the welcome alert shows, it contains the alert text fine, but then shows the packet for the events after it.
We would like to create a client-server architecture application that the server can control all client computers connected to it (e.g shutdown) and we would like to put a security login and a desktop lockeron the clients. The process of the system is that when the clients starts, the desktop is locked and ofcourse the user can't access the desktop unless he/she logged-in. And when the scheduled time (e.g 1 hour) is done, the client computers where automatically shutdown like the Time Logger Softwares

I was wanting to make a simple client-server program.I saw some code for it and it was easy to understand but it was with winsock.
The program is:
Client: Clicks button.
Server: Recieves Text written in clients textbox.
Is there a reasonably easy way to do this?Maybe Net.Sockets or something similar?
I'm creating a reporting web page as part of a standard VB.NET web application. The page is data driven, with jquery making calls to a web service local to the application to get values of elements that are dynamically created in the DOM. Ultimately these dynamic elements and their values are all wrapped up in a JSON object, so that part of the client side is fine.
Right now, I can pass that JSON object to a method in the web service which creates an SQL Data adapter from the values and queries a database. My ultimate goal is to have this client JSON data be used to query the database and construct an excel file to send back to the user, or failing that a CSV file.
It's my understanding (from working with PDF file generation) that this type of function can only be done on the server side of the web application, not even from the web service (i.e. I can't have the web service return an array of bytes and have JavaScript/jQuery present that as a file).
So, how do I go about this? Now I have my JSON object on the client side, where should I be sending it, how, and how do I go about returning my file?
I've read about either storing the JSON in a hidden field and having the server take the elements value and go from there, or using AJAX to send the JSON to the server just before a postback is made to fire off the server-side function to run the query and return the data.
I just need a little guidance, and a little help understanding where to use the hidden field, or what I am actually doing with the pre-postback AJAX call.
However I have hit a massive brick wall with my program. My program that I'm trying (can't emphasis this word the importance of that word) to create a Client/Server chatroom using TCPClient in Visual Basic. So far I can get my client to speak to my server. However, i'm trying to get the returned data to display in a listbox which never happened, i then tried a label, which again never happened then a text box which I'm sure you can figure out how that went! I'm not great at networking programmers nor am I not bad I'm terrible but duty calls when it comes to projects.
The code I currently have was mostly taken from the net but when I have the program fully work and I understand how the software works I intend to heavily modify for it to suit the needs of what I need to achieve. where I can get my client to display the data from the server that I have already sent to the server (which displays successfully within the server).

1> We get Block title attributes properly of dwg file in windows application form using the getattribute function().
2> We get Block title Attributes properly in that way:-We take a class library where we take a class.in this class we use getattribute function().Then We access the particular class from another project
But when we use the same class(Keep same structure) in client server socket program.Then it gives an exception.i.e ,"Spaicfied cast is not valid"I am Not getting any reply form teghax developer..I attached exception screen sort.Give me Suggestion How to solve this Exception
