I am basically after some information on what you would believe to be the best way to send strings from a mobile device (possibly a windows mobile phone) to a PC and vise versa. Just so you know the distance could be upto 4 miles and no direct line of sight.

I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to move a windows form app to a windows mobile 5 device and I was able to get every thing working except this piece of code.
[Code]...
I need to communicate between multiple applications (one server and multiple clients) in the LAN. While googling I came across 3 concepts (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and WCF). I also understand WCF needs lot of study for a starter like me. I need to have one (server) application running on one machine, the values generated by it should be displayed immediately on the other (client) application which will be running on multiple machines in a LAN. Also when the user pauses the process from the client application, it should pause the process on the server application.
View 2 RepliesI am building a client-server type applications and they are communicating over sockets. This is the first time I am doing such a program and I have been learning off a web example and thought I understood it all but it would appear I am missing something as it starts to work then errors. Here is what I have:
VB
Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(ListeningPort)
Dim clientSocket As TcpClient
Dim netStream As NetworkStream
Dim BytesFrom(1024) As Byte
Dim DataFromClient As String
[Code] .....
All of the above works and if I open up a telnet command window I can connect to my machine running this code on my specified port and in the command prompt window 'IDENTIFY' appears as it should from the above code. But it then gets to this block an errors on the second line:
VB
'RECEIVE FROM CLIENT
netStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
netStream.Read(BytesFrom, 0, CInt(clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize))
DataFromClient = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(BytesFrom)
Now as far as I can tell it shouldn't be processing the first line
[ netStream = clientSocket.GetStream() ]
Until I send something back from the client because then going on to the second line its trying to process something that isn't there yet.
The actual error I get is:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: size
On the line:
netStream.Read(BytesFrom, 0, CInt(clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize))
I have a need to be able to communicate with a VB6 application (I have the source code) whilst it is running. I just need to get it to display some predefined forms. Any tips on how I could achieve it. I was thinking along the lines of using Sockets.
