VS 2008 Developing A Network / Server Ping Status App
Jan 3, 2010
I work as an IT Administrator and manage a few Servers, Routers, VPN Connections over a number if locations. What I am wanting to do is create a vb.net app that will go out and ping say every 2-5mins each of the servers, routers, that are listed and then shows beside the Hostname a Green Circle which means online and if its a Red Circle its offline, and the screen refreshes if their is a problem or a device / service comes back online.
Then if its offline email a particular email address showing the hostname of either the server or router and which location saying its offline. If possible to make it easier to change the devices to show possible have a txt file or something like that with the Hostname, IP Address, Location.

I have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.

I have this code below that pings a hostname and responds with the status of the machine:
vb
Public Function PingHostname(ByVal strServerName As String) As Boolean
Dim blnPingResult As Boolean
Dim objPing As New Ping
Dim objIPStatus As IPStatus
[Code] ......
My question is... whenever the machine is not available it hangs as it times out and eventually fails and catches an exception. Is there a better way to do this so my application doesn't hang? What I have is a treeview with a list of computers and when I hit F5 it executes this code and pings the server.

Is there an easy way to just ping a server by IP or URL and return the minimum, maximum and average milliseconds? Actually the same results I get in CMD when using the ping command. Can't find any tutorial that describes it. So let's say I have a Textbox1 and a Button1 and a Label1 for the results. How can I do it?

how to develop unicode application in vb.net and sql server 2008 ?how to start develop and what are the things i have to consider to develop effective unicode application ?. this application should support japanees and english language based on user selection.i took steps but i don't know it is correct.
1. i created tables in sql server with fields, for strings - NVARCHAR, for integer INT, for datetime DATETIME,for numeric NUMERIC.
2. i created another setting-table to have all screens name,label names ( for labels and grid column headers ) and corresponding japanees display names and another column for english display text.
so i'm just going to fetch Japaness/english display names from setting-table on form load and change the labels.Are these correct ? or anyother way to do unicode application effectively ?

i 'm develloping an application that uses a sql server database, in my computer where i'm programming i installed the sql server in the same language of the OS, in the tests of the application everything worked fine. Biut after migrating the db to the main server, the values went crazy.. After some research and tests, i saw that the language of the sql server was in english and that was the problem.
My language settings says that the decimal separator is "," and the agrupment digit it's ".", and the sql server works in the other way "." is the decimal separator and the "," it's the agrupment digit. In my code i was using the CDEC to pass the values to the DB, to solve this i removed the cdec and send the parameter as a string (So if i send 2,33 to DB with CDEC i get 233 if i send the 2,33 string i get 2.33). This works for now, but i don't know if in the future i'll have problems...

I have developed a VB.NET program using a strongly typed dataset. This dataset has its connection to a SQL Server 2008 R2. The software should now be additionally used offline. The database should be exported to a *.sdf database. If no connection to the SQL server is produced, the software have to try to connect to the *.sdf database.I would like to achieve:
1. Export the data in the SQL Server 2008 R2 database to a local *.sdf file.
2. This *.sdf file has to work as an alternate connection string in the strongly typed dataset.

I am trying to write a program to ping computers on my network to see if they are turned on. So far i have the following:
Code:
If My.Computer.Network.Ping("192.68.0.5") Then
MsgBox("Computer is on.")
Else
MsgBox("Ping request timed out.")
End If
If i use ip addresses, this works fine but i would rather use hostnames due to the ip addresses being dynamic (something which is outside my control). Using the hostname, it reurns "Computer is on" if the ping is successful, but if the hostname cannot be found, instead on returning "Ping request timed out", an error occurs as follows:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingException' occurred in System.dll

Iam developing a Windows application using Visual Basic 2008 with a SQL Server database. Throughout the program I give the user as many options as possible and have no problem with either the database or the windows forms. The program does not initially require a Login and I want toprovide the User with the opportunity to add a Login to the system. The default Login form is perfectly satisfactory.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to program the change sothat the Login from isopens the program rather then th form designated as the StartUp form. this forum I am able to prgrammatically change the form but I can't figure out how to make the requirement a permanent factor. I tried using a Constant, but if the User wants to change, you can't change the constant. Its an apparantly simple yes/no situation but if I set a varable to yes and then change it to no the next time the program runs, the change will be lost.

I have a server which has around 300+ users on it. Though the problem is that its coded in VB6, and if somebody has a bad ping, everybody has a bad ping. I need a tunneling server which will tunnel the incoming and outgoing connections and make there ping appear to be 0 in the server. Client to Server, Server to Client.

I have designed a website using ASP (Visual Basic) which our staff use both interally and externally (i.e. on and off our network). Browsing network folders is available to the user when using the site on the network. However, if the user has a laptop which has not synchronised with the server, network folders set for synchronisation appear empty when they are not.
I understand the reasons for this, however I would like to be able to present the users with a friendly warning if they have not synchronised their laptop. Is there some sort of system flag I can access which will tell me whether a given laptop client has synchronised with the network or not (the same trigger which makes the Synchronisation Manager icon appear on the task bar)?

I found an example of a simple irc client, but I'm really confused about how it sends data back to the irc server. In the example, this is the code used to respond to the server's PING request. it lies in the onDataArrival event of a sockets client:[Code]
However with this simplified code, as soon as it tries to respond to the PING request it is disconnected from the irc server with the reason "Excess Flood". So I was hoping someone could explain to me the difference between the pretty complicated method and my simplified one which doesn't work.

A new client has recently asked me to develop a Windows service that will monitor whether or not his server has internet connectivity. The service should log when the connection goes down to Local Only and back up to Internet Access as shown in Network and Sharing Center.
My original idea was to have the service ping a website like google every 5 minutes or so, but I don't know how to retrieve the results of the ping, so I then thought I could code a WebBrowser control into it and write the log entries based on the results of connection attempts from that.
This also seems like a rather impractical idea though, so can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?

I have a problem when trying to detect the computers network connection status.
Here is the code I have used:
Dim IsAvalible As String = My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable
If IsAvalible = True Then Label1.Text = "Connected" Else <code>
<code>If IsAvalible = False Then</code> I <code>
Label1.Text = "Disconnected"</code></code>
End If [/ICODE] End If[/ICODE]
But for some even when the network is disconnected or the computers wifi is turned on I still get the result of "Connected". I think there something wrong with the code.

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:

im trying to do is ping a server and see if there is a response. If there is a response then i would like to set an integer to 1 if there is not a response set the integer to 0. I would also then like to gather any servers that had a response into a list box. I know how to build a list box just having trouble getting the code to set a variable if or if there isnt a response.

I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.
