how do I keep a Socket declared forever so i can call it in other methods?
All the tutorials i've read just have a server, client, server sends client message, client disconnects. What if I want to remain connected? I've tried making the sockets global but that didn't work somehow.
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.
Below is my code, but when i send the message thru client socket i receive Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: size
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
Dim outStream As Byte() = _
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("0800822000000000000004000000000000000920092126012345001")

so now my question is how do i connect the WebSocketServer.cs to the index.aspx ?
As a start, all I'm trying to accomplish is just to get the Web Sockets working, and have the connection established, which then will alert("Stock Ticker Connection open ...");

Public listener As System.Net.Sockets.Socket
Public handler As System.Net.Sockets.Socket
Public client As System.Net.Sockets.Socket

i can connect socket well but i want to ask how can i determine that socket has received data i want to create sub or function that handles socket.receive byte the code i have is
Dim byteData(100) As Byte
Dim size As Integer = soc.Receive(byteData) 'receiving the data from socket and reading its size
For i As Integer = 0 To size
Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(byteData(i))) 'Convert.ToChar will convert the byte value into character
Next
i want to start this code each time when socket receives something?

In my small P2P Chat application I am listening on a port for messages and if some message arrives and pending, I am accepting it to a TcpClient and reading the data from the stream, writing back a "Received" response and closing it. This is in a loop with a sleep interval of 500 secs and runs in a separate thread. Is it a good practice to close the socket each time I receive and process a message or should I keep it alive till the chat box is closed on other side?
I am asking this because, when I do a "NETSTAT" on command line while chatting with someone, there is one entry per message that arrives locally. and many ports get to TIME_WAIT status, even if it is understood that they will be removed after 2 mins by the system.
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 2 Repliesthis is the first time I try to study the socket of .NET. I configed follow the tutorial here [URL] . Then I try to write some execute code for my project. I insert an "Add item" to a listbox after socket server receiving Data from client. However, the server doesn't execute my "Add item" code and it disconnect to the client? If I erase this code, everything is ok!

i have made a console based socket program in vb.net, all it does 2 things:
1- server shows a msgbox when the command msg is sent from the client
2- the server opens the cd try when the command open is sent form the client
when i run it , i type the command open and works just fine , the cd tray opens , but if i type open again or msg it simply wont do anything(this also applies for the command msg, if type it a msg is shown, but if i type it agine or open , it wont respond. so its like one command per session. i tried to put the code in a while loop , but didnt work?
here is the code for the server:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Module Module1

There are a series of web requests, database handling using php as well as using mysql connector. There are at most 5 timers in one window. some window has 3 or 2 timers as needed.Among some features there is a feature for chat. and I'm doing it with Remote mysql connection using mysql data connector.I'm not much familiar with VB.NET coding environment as well as with optimization issues. However made that app running with some problem, that is, when chatting, sometimes its not working smoothly sometimes stops for 4-5 secs then again responding. I'm not sure if this is happening because of timers. However a chat window has 2 timers of 1sec each.
View 2 RepliesI've experimented a bit with async TCP socket messages between two programs, for passing data, numbers and/or text. What I've done is to use a keyword in the start of each message,and then seperate the values with the "|" character. So a message may look like this: "DATA|490|40517.9328222222|1|6|11345|11347|11344|11345|106|40517.8494212963"I set the read buffer size to 1024, as most of the messages will be within that lengthHowever sometimes I may send rapidly many short messages where several together are less than 1024 characters, and it seems then it will be read in one go. And if I send a message longer than 1024 characters, it will be split. So I'm looking for some advice on how to handle this. Should I use some special characters to start and/or end each message?

how to do socket programming in VB. I'm using VB.NET 2008 and i'm a novice but with a reasonable understanding of programming so I want to learn by examples and understanding it in a novice/intermediate point of view. Essentially, I want to create a simple TCP or UDP client that can connect to an IP and port and retrieve the stream for parsing of content.
View 5 RepliesI've been making this project for our Major course in Networking Principles and Programming. Our project is an ATM System but with the use of Socket API. My partner and I chose VB.NET even if we're completely beginners.
We've researched about Socket programming in VB.NET, and we're glad that our Client-Server connection worked out. The problem is, our system contains many forms (Withdraw, Deposit, etc). We've researched the Google about Socket Programming in many Window Forms and unfortunately, we can't find any.
How can we be able to maintain the connection with many forms? Or do we have to create a new connection on every form? Is it better to create only ONE form for the client application perhaps?
I'm trying to use a socket to connect a TCP stream. The socket connects no problem if the endpoint has a valid IP associated to it. If I give it an invalid one, the Connect method will sit and block (I want it to) for 10-20 seconds before telling me the remote host timed out. Is there a timeout property I can set so I don't have to wait that long for the connect method? Or is there another way of doing it that does implement a timeout?
