VS 2008 Create A Client / Server Chatroom Using TCPClient In Visual Basic
Jan 6, 2010
However I have hit a massive brick wall with my program. My program that I'm trying (can't emphasis this word the importance of that word) to create a Client/Server chatroom using TCPClient in Visual Basic. So far I can get my client to speak to my server. However, i'm trying to get the returned data to display in a listbox which never happened, i then tried a label, which again never happened then a text box which I'm sure you can figure out how that went! I'm not great at networking programmers nor am I not bad I'm terrible but duty calls when it comes to projects.
The code I currently have was mostly taken from the net but when I have the program fully work and I understand how the software works I intend to heavily modify for it to suit the needs of what I need to achieve. where I can get my client to display the data from the server that I have already sent to the server (which displays successfully within the server).
I am a student and trying to start a programming career, my colleague asked me to make a multi tier or multi client desktop application for the schedule tracking using xml as a database; however the desktop application would be deployed in one or more computers but my leader can monitor the info from her office in addition she wanted me to put administrative privilege to avoid unauthorized access in some database features of the system. an info regarding multi-client desktop app.
using visual studio 2008 and programming in visual basic. i need to create a ftp server and am not sure where to start...i've tried to find anything that would help but all i come up with is the system.net.ftpwebrequest object but nothing really about how to use it. i need it to download files only, show connections, the ip addresses connected and the progess of the file transfer.
One of the client requirements is that the server generate files and store them on a special folder. This files created can not be modified by users or deleted.So the only way I thought is to generate this files with elevated privileges so a normal user can't delete or modify them.But the question is how can I generate a file with this privileges that normal users can interact with this files... only download from server.I use this code to generate the file... But I don't know how to configure it for elevated privileges.This is the button which generate the file and allow to download it:
Protected Sub ibtGenerar_OnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ImageClickEventArgs) oArchivoTelecredito.NombreArchivo = txtNombreArchivo.Text oArchivoTelecredito.SesionDetalleArchivosTelecredito = New List(Of
I've basically made a basic tcp server/client application. The thing is that I'm behind a router and so will be the other people that use my clients. I've had to use port-forwarding or the software "rinetd"to run quite a few applications online.
Let me explain: I'm on a lan network that connects to the internet. Whenever I want to host a server - for instance a basic ftp or http server. If I give my external IP to anyone, they won't be able to access my server. Even if I portforward, it doesnt work. I have to use rinetd here. For other applications, portforwarding works. I'm not sure how these things work at all.
Anyway, my issue now is that I have created this server/client application. I'm having serious doubts that if I run the server, I'll have to either a) portforward or use rinetd to get people to connect to my server. IF I need to portforward, that's fine. However, using rinetd would really suck... My 2nd concern is as follows: IF the person running the client is in a similar situation as me (i.e he's on a lan that has a router which connects to the net), will he have to portforward or use rinetd as well? If he portforwards that's fine. But I don't think I could get people to use rinetd.... Also, if there are more than 1 person on a lan trying to connect to my server, there is a big problem when they try to portforward: they will only be able to allocate one of their internal ip to that port, and the others won't be able to connect, right? How does this work? I mean, I use many softwares like msn/skype/(some games)/firefox that do not need portforwarding/rinetd. Yet they work. My housemates(other people on the lan) use the same softwares, and it works fine. There's no clash/probs watsoever How come these run fine?
Anyway, back to my issues. Given I have no knowledge about how the above work, I was wondering whether there was a way to host a vb .net server application on an external website (external to my house) so that I might *avoid* the above mentioned problems, and to what extent that would be a sound solution.
i want to add TimeOfDay (Time) in Table Record which datatype is use for add Time.i am created a field "JoinedTime" DataType "time(7)"[code] "Specified cast is not valid.Couldn't store <1/1/0001 3:35:42 PM> in JoinedTime Column. Expected type is TimeSpan"want store like "3:40:14 pm" How Can I do?
I'm a college student and starting to use Visua Basic 2008.Unfortunately couldn't find the right algo for adding a database in vb 08. T_TMy problem is that how to add a database access 2007 in visual basic 2008.
I am trying to create a quiz on visual basic 2008 with two buttons : true; false that present one question at a time. At the end of the quiz, I would like the program to add up the number of correct questions.
how to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])
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 can connect to only one Data Base with dataset in Visual Basic . but i want Have Dynamic connection to data base i mean in want to my appliction users have ablity to connect to any data base they want (For Example : Choose file from menu and then open and then Select any Data base.)
I am going to create a gaming platform primarily with flash,flex and was also looking to create a windows client that could communicate with my server using these protocols. Could someone point me in the right direction on any possible .net libraries available that could handle the communications between client and server?
I need to encrypt some basic data being sent from server to client.
I was going to open a file in bytes, convert it to chrs (Modify odd numbers by adding 2 and even numbers by adding 3) then use Base 32 (Triacontakaidecimal) or Base 16 (although base 16 will occupy twice the space). Convert the data back to bytes and after do the same with the decryptor.
About using base 32, is there some sort of class in vb.net or maybe an api?
I would like to ask how to connect our application to connected computers in a LAN.Will I use the winsock control?How can I run queries using a server database?Any answers are welcome.
Im trying to make a basic Client/Server. The server can handle multiple clients and each client can send /recieve messages from the server.It works fine with just 1 client. but as soon as i connect with a second client. The first one no longer works. Anything sent from the first client is ignored by the server and when running the server in debug mode it gets errors from the client 1 stream.
Its as if the server will only hold one stream at a time and whenever another client joins the other streams are shut but the new client works fine. Even though i never close a stream.
[Code]...
Edit: FINALLY FOUND IT! Stupid mistake i forgot to put the ClientN variable up by one for each new client.So i was creating a new space in the array but erasing the first slot for the new client
I am making a server - multiple client windows form application using Visual Basic Express 2005.
I was wondering if there was a way that I could debug multiple instances of the client at the same time?Ashray Lavsi If my post answers your Question, don't forget to "Mark it as Answer"
I have herd that a new type (or old type) of connection when the server connects to the client. Is it really possible to do such a thing with mulit-Servers trying to connect to one client.How would I make one like that O.o.
I have a simple tcpclient/server messenger running. Everything works great, except for when a client exits the software. When someone exits, is crashes the server with various exceptions and the server has to be restarted, as well as the clients. What I am looking for is a way to properly "log out" a client BUT leave any other connected client on so that is no break in the chat. Then the person that logged out or a new person can join back in whenever they choose.
CLIENT ''CHAT SERVICE Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient() Dim serverStream As NetworkStream Dim readData As String Dim infiniteCounter As Integer [Code] .....
I want to make a basic winsock chat server and client, and I just need to know the basics, like.How do you determine where to send the data?How do you determine where to receive data from?How to actually send and receive the data?I just don't want to read from a website that has a lot of extra information. I just want to start off with the basics so I can actually learn.
I am building a VB 2008 Express Edition application.I have built a database (with a single table) using SQL Server Compact 3.5 and have connected it to the project. I am able to view and edit the data using a DataGridView on a second form (tutorial made this very easy). I need to work with the data in the table within the application. how to easily load the entire table into an array or even read the table a row or cell at a time so that I can make all of the data available for manipulation within the application (the tutorials only seem to show how to display the data).
I am planning to make a multi-user chatroom client. I have got a web hosting, but I don't have the server. I want to know how to create the chatroom from my webhost and what type of method that I would need to connect it?
Im using the code from [URL] as a starter, most of the code is the same. the chat system works fine but on the client a added a disconnect button "clientSocket.Close()" and as soon as i click that i get errors, on the client, this is the code...
Private Sub getMessage() For infiniteCounter = 1 To 2
[CODE]...
And this line...
serverStream.Read(inStream, 0, buffSize) gives me "Unable to read data from the transport connection: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall."
Now im talking the server, after the client clicks disconnect or closes by task manager, looses connection, etc the server crashes and gives me.
i have wanted to create a TCP/IP Lan chat program in visual studio 2005. i have already created an interface for it but no codes yet. Attached are images of the client and the server.
this is my first time here and im a little lost - so i'm hoping this is the right area to post this (I have used other forums before, but jumping in and out of various msdn area's makes figruing out a site map very differcult at first).
