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 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 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 want to send image from server to client via .net Sockets and assign it to a picturebox. but I got problem in receiving data, it's 'Server' side code:

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 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.

I'm trying to setup an asynchronous client and I can send/receive one command and response, but when I try to send the second command, the command is sent (I verified by code inspection), but I am getting no response.
Heres the code, a majority of it is from the Microsoft example.

In our project we've decided to put an exam generator using vb.net and after generate you can send it to client computer/students. *server computer/teacher will the one who will use exam generator and send it to the client computer/student*student will recieve it and then send it back again to the server computer/teacher*teachers will going to generate an exam depends on the type of exam, so i think im going to make it a wizard type environment

View 8 Repliesi have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
This code will allow you to send Emails using only .NET Sockets. This code was adapted from sample code on[code]...
View 7 RepliesSo basically I would like to know what goes on behind smtpclient, webrequest and all those.
I would like to know if its possible to connect to an smtp server with sockets. Also, can anyone recommend a good OOAD(object oriented analysis and design) tutorial or book?
first asking an question and then introducing but i kinda need some help in here.First of all im not new to VB, But i am to VB.NET and espessially socket programming.Now i need an way to send the lenght of the string being send in bytes before the string itself so <lenghtinbytes><string>.
ive tried so many things, and its possible because the client itself does it too...but just cant find an way.

I'm writing a replacement for an old library we use at the office to communicate with a rather clumsy and old custom-made C++ framework that takes requests via sockets in order to communicate with a bunch of other systems. The problem is that it will only take plain text messages containing a string which must be formatted in a very specific way.The problem I'm facing is that I haven't found so far a way of sending plain text through the socket. The Send method of the socket will only take byte arrays, and while the listening point receives the data, it gets there completely scrambled, and there's no way I can mess with that in order to convert the byte array back to plain text. I need to be able to send plain text, not byte arrays.[code]
View 1 RepliesSince a few months I want to learn how to receive and send packets. Since WinSock doesn't work I think it'll be quite hard to get an easy way to do it.
I want to be able to send and get packets as a client. (TCP) I know that I need System.Net.Sockets, and that's quite everything...
I was going over the Screen Saver Tutorial for VB Express 2005 and i Noticed How the Screen Saver app excepts params at startup... and depending on the startup param it will display the screen saver or the options form... lets say that i want to start up a screen saver from my program, how would i send it to the screen saver to display the options form the param is "/p" or something.

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 have these following lines to send bytes using socket

As in the code, I am supposed to retrieved "Halo". Instead I keep receiving sth like "[]".
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.
Do you know how to create a program to send and receive sms and call from PC from and or to any devices?
View 1 RepliesI have created an application which listens for strings being sent to my pc from a remote unit. I now need to add the function of sending strings back to the remote unit on a button press. I've searched for ages to find a solution but I'm not knowledgeable enough yet with vb.net to solve this solution.
I'm getting the error with the line opensock2 = New IO.StreamWriter(client.GetStream) saying its not connected. So I seem to need to pass the connection from the background worker to the button click, or have it somewhere else in the code to make it accessible. [Code]
as above how to do that man? I will also want to extract the information to be sent from the database. An example of what i am going to do is something like this:
