I am trying to set up a program that allows you to open multiple COM ports and then select which COM port you send data down. The computer i am using has 18 COM ports. Also on the first code it shows the ports are open they just wont receive anything.

View 5 RepliesI am currently making an app in visual basic that I plan to make a chat server. I know that somehow I'm going to get the program to send and recieve data across ports on a certain ip address with variables such as maximum connections, etc.
The part I am mostly stuck on is firstly the code that you would need, or how to make a function to interact with ports across an ip.
Secondly, would it be a good idea to make a backround service to run for it to work on a host, and also how the other computers are going to find a host.
I'm completely new to sockets etc.I'm trying to create an app that'll allow someone to send short information messages to several other people with the same app, using the internet and sockets(?)I've tried using code from online, but I'm getting no where.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to send and receive data through a USB port on my computer to an external microcontroller.
I built most of the code using the "serial class" but then i read that this would not work with a USB port.
How would I go about communicating with this USB port on my computer?
I am sending data to my server (MyServer.com) from microcontroller device using socket connection, I want to receive data using Socket and store in access database need a tracker for this work
View 3 RepliesI have created a program to send and receive data from a serial port, some of the data needs to be stored in certain strings for a export to excel. However the data takes while to to send be sent back. So in order to get the right information in the right strings I have to put pauses in my code. I have added a timer to my form:
On my timer's tick event I have the following code:
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
iTick = iTick + 1
End Sub
I need to send data via serial and wait for and answer (VB.NET).Right now i'm doing it this way:SerialPort1.Write(sel & Chr(13))Thread.Sleep(50)aaa = SerialPort1.ReadExisting()If i do not thread.sleep, i get nothing, i supose it's because the machine is too fast.

I have written a windows service that uses sockets to send receive data, it works fine when the server has been running and all other services have started, but after a reboot it does not work. Now I know its probably dependant on another service and I know how to add dependencies, but how do I work out which services its dependent on?

View 8 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 Need to be able to read an unknown number of serial ports (I plan to limit the number to 10). I'd like to use a datareceived handeler for all of them. This is what I came up with, that seems to work with my test ports. However I'm wondering if thiscould cause any problems if more data is received than I'm currently testing with. It is possible that one or two ports will be transmitting 16 records per second each. Here is the code I'm testing with:

Here is a statement from the Main part of the program...
mylist.ForEach(AddressOf ProcessLink)
What this statement says is the following.... "For each item in the ArrayList "mylist" send item to the sub program "ProcessLink"Note that ProcessLink is going to receive multiple groups of data from the ArraList "mylist".ProcessLink then takes each value sent to it and turns it into "P.myName" and P.myValue".I need ProcessLink to then add these values to an array. And each time it receives a batch of data from the ArrayList "mylist" it will add those values to the same Array. ProcessLink will then sort the array based on "P.Value".I then need ProcessLink to output the name value pairs in the array and output the result as...Response.Write("<tr><td>" & P.myName & "</td><td>" & P.myValue & "</td></tr>") .What should the code in ProcessLink look like?
Have several USB RFID readers that use keyboard wedge to pass info to MS Excel. That works ok. However I want to have the ID of the USB reader (port) that it came from for each read.
Need to intercept the 'read' going to the keyboard wedge and insert a USB ID number. Any reference ok as long as unique to each USB RFID reader .
There are a lot of USB devices that collect data and setting them up as a keyboard wedge is one of the easiest ways to do it. That said, I really do not want them set up as active all the time. So is there a way to set up multiple keyboard
wedge USB devices and then through code turn them on or off. For instance, using a scanner I want to read an ID card. However once the ID has been read, I want to turn off the ID scanner so that it will not be used in the wrong field on a
different screen. Perhaps on a different screen I want to read a Credit Card set up as a wedge input device but only when I am in the correct field for the input. So in this case i would have two wedge devices
Perhaps a different way to phrase the question is, "can I set up multiple USB keyboards and through VB.net turn them off and on?
I have an array of IP addresses, and I want to send the same data to all of them. I could just send the loop code that sends data but I think there's a better way of doing this.
View 1 RepliesHow can I make multiple instances of System.IO.Ports.SerialPort and declare them on the fly? I need to monitor multiple RS232 ports based on the EU's selection. EU will select ports e.g. 1,2,6,9,11 and rename them as necessary. Selections will then be stored in a settings file.I would like to declare these at runtime e.g
Com1 is renamed LabelPrinter
Dim comLabelPrinter As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
With comLabelPrinter
[code]....
Or if not, make multiple instances based on the number of ports selected and renamed.The declaration based on the rename would just make it easier to work with but can be committed?
I am creating an application to configure some modems through the serial port. I have no problem sending a single string of data to the serial port and displaying the immediate response to a rich text box. I have 2 problems
1st: how to update the rich text box for any delayed response from the modem
2nd: how to react to the response from the modem, in other words I want to send the next command based on the response from the modem witch is usually "OK"
This is what my code looks like currently to send ans receive data from the serial port. (sport1 is my serial port and display is my rich text box)
sPort1.Write("AT+WOPEN=1" + Environment.NewLine)
With Display
.AppendText(sPort1.ReadExisting())

I have a large class that I built to act as a TCP server for one of my silverlight applications. When a user connects it stores the tcp client into a table for later communication. The problem is that when I send data, with more than one client connected, it loops through both open TCP Clients but some how sends the data twice to the same client.... the other tcp client never receives his data. This isn't a logic issue as I can step through the code and see that it is clearly taking each individual TCP client out of the table and sending it the data. They all use the same port... could that be the issue? And if so how do I make it so that it can connect on one port then transfer to another? I have tried using different computers for connecting but still the most recently connected client receives all of the packets of data.

View 1 RepliesI need to send and receive a large image between programs running on different machines within the same network.
I've looked at using upd however ran into problems with the size of the packets and
(after breaking the image into smaller pieces to get past this problem) the number of packets needing to be processed all at once - and ultimately packet loss.
I've also thought of sending the image by storing it in a common file folder and receiving it by using file watcher as a trigger. However, this just adds further complexities in setup where common folders don't already exist.
Assuming I'm barking up the right tree looking at tcp, can someone point me to/provide an example of how to send an image file using it (vb.net would be ideal). Also, are there practical limits to tcp package sizes?

I'm using asynchronous to send/receive from a website I want to block the BeginGetRequestStream method which I have done, using
Code:
WaitEvent.WaitOne(1000 * 20, false);
the problem is that it blocks the UI, which I thought it did not so it basically works like GetRequestStream which does block the UI.
