I'd like to build a program which shares files between two computers. My method for doing that is setting up a home network, basically, on one computer, put a file there, and share that file on the network. The other computer would then connect to the network (through my application) and find the file and read it. I know this is very long. I would just like you to help me start up.How do I create a wireless network ENTIRELY THROUGH VB during the initial setup of the application? I don't want the user to deal with creating the network himself.

I was woundering if it is possible to set the encryption key of a wireless network through VB.
If you need any more info just ask,
I am currently improving an existing handheld application, this app makes live calls to our network over the wireless connection, if the wireless connection is not established I am displaying a holding screen to the user, this screen rechecks connection every three seconds.I want to put a button on this screen that closes down the application if the user does not want to wait any longer. At the moment I am using the application.exit command, however it continues to finish the first original thread (i.e. trying to process the dataset) before actually closing the application, I am looking for a way to kill the application there and then!
View 2 RepliesI am using the code below to test whether the user is connected using either a wireless or LAN connection. i.e. that the cable is plugged in, or the wireless is switch off. The code works fine for this. However, if you can spot any potential problems with this or you know of a better way I would be interested to learn more.

My issue, however, is connecting to the wireless laptops as well.

I need to grab a list of all networked computers, and I definitely include systems on the wireless
network in that list. I'm just not sure how to approach this. Being able to enumerate through a
'tree' of all networks and systems available would be a major plus.

View 6 RepliesHow do you guys take control of a listbox in a form from another form? I could have sworn I've done this before but can't remember how or find any of my programs that did this. In form load i populate a listbox with a routine. I wish to call that routine again to refresh it from another form.
View 3 RepliesI have an application with two forms - a splash form and the main form. The main form reads an XML file and displays data from the file in a rich text box. While that is happening the splash form is displayed. When the main form is ready to be displayed the splash form closes and the main form is displayed. I have a progress bar on the splash form to inform the user of the progress of the load. I want to set the maximum value for the progress bar to the number of elements in the XML file. In the main form I am using a reader to count the number of elements. After I get that number I wan to update the maximum on the progress bar control so it displays correctly. That is where I am getting the cross threading error. Now I could do that in the splash form. But where the real issue lies is I want to update the progress bar value every time I read an element in the main form process to read the XML file. That I don't think I can do in the splash form as it would duplicate the process of the main form and defeat the purpose of the splash form.
I have researched this issue but can't find an answer. I have tried the delegate route but I still get a cross-threading error. I assume that is because I am cross threading across forms.
I have managed to create and code a file menu exit with the following code, however I just can't seem to find out how I am able to edit the red X in the top right hand side of the form next to the minimise and maximise buttons?
Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim close As String
close = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Exit Log Book", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)

I'm trying to do a basic function, I'm using Visual Basic 2008 express, I have a windows form with 1 textbox, 1 button and a serial port. When the button is pressed serialport1 is opened then the data received is trimmed to remove unwanted char from start and end and then is displayed in the textbox, when the button is pressed again the port is closed, this works fine but in debug mode I get a cross thread error, telling me I can't use textbox1.text=result

How can I mod this code to get rid of the error?? It's been suggested to me to use BeginInvoke or Invoke but i'm not sure how to use this can someone
I'm setting up a simple app that has 2 variables, one from a combobox and one from a textbox.Putting all my code directly in the button1_click sub works just fine, however, I wanted to add a marquee progress bar so I tried to implement a backgroundworker.

and call it with Me.Invoke(New SetComboBoxTextDelegate(AddressOf SetComboBoxText), ComboBox1.Text)but it still throws the Cross-thread operation invalid error.
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

I ahve tried using the
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("C:UsersPhillipDesktop est.txt", "http://10.0.0.2/c:/text.txt", "my username, "mypassword")
but it does not work...whats the proper format for entering a location to a computer over the network?Also... whats a way to send a file to a computer over the internet such as my friends computer... The reason I am doing this is because I plan to make some programs that run based on text files and a basic example of this is a chat program... but I do plan for other things as well...
EDIT:Used this
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("C:UsersPhillipDesktop est.txt", "\PHILIPADAMS-PCUSERSPhilip Adams ext.txt", "myusername", "mypass")
and it worked... now how can I send over the internet... Also is there another way i can send over the network like using the IP instead of computer name?Also how do I send it to other computers?

View 2 Repliesi'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for ppt.
ok i'm going to delete the other thread. i'm going to rephrase and try to explain as clearly as possible.
I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.
Is there a way that VB.net can identify the encryption type of a wireless network? Just identify it, i'm not looking to do anything further than that and yet just about every search result i get from google wants to tell me how to sniff wep keys etc. Don't care, just want to know what type of encryption the network is using?

Then it hit me that if a router is able to do that can I write an application to do the same without entering the router administration.
