VS 2008 : Expose HTTP Access To A Background Service?
Dec 16, 2011
I'm creating an executable that will run as a background service.I want to communicate with this executable with a browser - similar to how you talk to sophisticated copiers in a big office.and was told to build an HTTP interface in that app.All the examples of httprequest and httpresponse I can find are about talking to web sites - or public services.How would I go about having my app "fire an event" when an async POST is made from a browser page? How do I wait on a port in the app?

I built a WCF service that exposes itself for a web application, it accepts an object and prints the data on the clients machine. Works fine on my development machine, and the service is up and running on any machine i install it on. I can enter ip address in clients machine web browser and see it is running. Problem is when i send the object to the clients machine it returns an error, that sounds like it could be because of the clients windows firewall. Where would i start at to deal with this problem ?There was no endpoint listening at http://192.168.1.168:2202/PrintLabel that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

I'm attempting to consume a HTTP Basic Auth Secured PHP WebService using VB.NET. I've so far managed to get 100% perfect integration by adding it as a Web Reference and doing the following:
Dim Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
Dim CredentialCache = New System.Net.CredentialCache()
CredentialCache.Add(New Uri(MyWebService.Url), "Basic", Credentials)
MyWebService.Credentials = CredentialCache
MyWebService.PreAuthenticate = True
I can also successfully add the webservice as a 'Service Reference' and this also works fine, as long as i turn off all HTTP authentication on the SOAP server.
My problem is that I can't find any documented means of sending basic HTTP Auth Credentials when using Service References as opposed to 'Web References'
Am I right in my understanding that 'Web References' are a legacy method of Web Service consumption?

I have a vb.net Windows application that calls a vb.net Web Service function. Both the vb.net application and Web Service have been in use for over 5 years and have worked well. The Windows App builds a text file consisting of a number of inserts into an Oracle table, followed by a call to an Oracle package. The Web Service call uploads the text file to the Web Server, loops through the statements in the text files and executes them. It then does a Select statement to put the resultant data in a string which is passed back to the calling program. We have both people on our local area network as well as external users where the call to the Web Server is over the internet.
The data string returned is the pricing for each of the lines inserted in the text file, separated by asterisks. Normal use of this call has anywhere from 1 to a few dozen lines, and the program works fine for this for both internal and external users.
Our problem right now is one external person is attempting to price a job with 491 individual line items. At first it would not price, whether the job was priced from a computer at the customers site or one of our internal people on the LAN. The problem turned out to be the timeout value was not long enough (it was set at 2 minutes, this job takes 5 minutes) so changing both the Timeout value in the Web Service call as well the httpRuntime executionTimeout value in the web.config file on the web server addressed the problem, but only for our internal users on the LAN. Our external customer wants to be able to price jobs of this size going forward, and I am at a loss as to why it errors on internet connected machines but not locally connected machines. Our customer is in New York, We are in Wisconsin, and I am able to recreate the error condition from my home computer.
The other thing is, if I create a VPN connection to our server from my computer at home, this job will price (again, it takes about 5 minutes) but if I disconnect the VPN connection, it gets an error after approximately 3 minutes, http 404: Not Found.The customer can otherwise price all of his other jobs with no problems, it's only this one, very large job that gets the error.

In VB.Net, how do I make a program to tap into the HTTP requests made by external web browsers? I don't want to edit or stop the headers, only 'read' them, i.e., access its contents. I'm speaking of something like Fiddler2, but I only want the 'reading' part. I also want to read the user-agent.

I have a per-call WCF service that serves a number of clients. I'm looking to speed up the services by running some background processes so they don't block or slow down the main function of the services.
One example is that the main function needs to return a set of data, while the background thread needs to record some statistics based on the parameter(s).
Code:
Public Function GetAccountDetails(id As Integer) As AccountDetails
Dim retVal As New AccountDetails
Dim a As New Accounts
[Code]....
If I use this background thread to record the statistic it doesn't block the main thread from returning the data to the client.
It's been working well in test scenarios, but my question is, are there any dangers with leaving this thread to execute without Joining it before returning the data to the client? Could there potentially be any loss of statistic data? Could there be potential memory problems on the server side?

Has any one used BITs in VB.NET? If so, do you have code samples? I was looking at SharpBits but I have a VB project that I wanted to use BITS for. Is it possible to use it with my VB.NET program? (.NET 2.0) I was tempted to try to convert each class to VB.NET in the SharpBits.Base folder but figured I'd ask in case someone has headed down this route before.
In case you run across this question. What you can do is in the Sharpbits.Base folder (that you download from codeplex) there is a DLL you can reference in the Bin directory. You can add that into your references to access it. Marking Konrad as answer since he was kind enough to post.
I managed to get sharpbits working with some quick code which I pasted below for anyone who might stumble upon this question. Like I mentioned above add the DLL to your project.
Dim b As New SharpBits.Base.BitsManager
Dim mynewjob As SharpBits.Base.BitsJob = _
b.CreateJob("jobname", SharpBits.Base.JobType.Download)
mynewjob.AddFile("\servershareigfile.zip", "c:igfile.zip")
mynewjob.Resume()
You'll need to write some logic to check for the status of the job. Once it hits "Transferred" status you can then mark it as complete. This will write the file from a .bin to the file name you listed. Something that helped me was installing the Windows Support Tools (you can get it from a Windows 2003 Cd/DVD in the sup tools folder)and using Bitsadmin.exe to view the status of the job while debugging.

I have two classes clsRoute and clsStop. Each route has a collection of stops. So I created a Stops collection in the route class and a method to add stops and remove stopsThis seems to work for me. owever, the clsStop properties that I declared are not showing in intellisense.i.e. oRoute.Stops.item(i).StopName and oRoute.Stops(i).StopName
Public Class clsStops
Private _stopNumber As Integer = 0
Private _stopName As String = String.Empty

I will use the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to transfer files from a client (laptop) to a shared folder on a server within our local network.The problem is a very slow network bandwith, if we transfer a file, the other clients canīt work, all requests to other clients (application) or viewing internet pages needs a long time.My idea is to use BITS in my tool to copy/transfer a file from client to server, also I hope to get more performance for the internet requests.

I am creating a simple XML web service and have run into something I can't quite explain.My web service class has the following structure :
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.ComponentModel
[code]....
Invoking my method using the built in VS web service test harness works fine. I created another project, in another solution, to test consuming the web service. I added a web reference to my project and set it so I could reference my web service by using "localWS". Then in the page load event of my consuming class I tried to instantiate an object of my web service:
Dim srv As New localWS.MyWS
But there was no "MyWS" type found. There is however a localWS.MyWSSoapClient class. When I use it I can invoke my web methods. My question is, why can't I create a straight up version of MyWS class? In the tutorials I'v read, and in the book I have, example consuming classes for .NET XML web services can instantiate objects of the web service class they are consuming. As a further test I added a new web form to my web service project and from there I was able to instantiate a MyWS class.

I'm a newbie to this forum and want to make sure I don't muck things up and irritate everyone as tends to occasionally happen in some forums.I have a very solid background in MS Access (I use it as a front end to an Oracle database and use DAO methods to create native Oracle statements via pass through queries). I am going through the tutorial on VB 2008 Express download the MS site. I have a number of questions that generally have to do with "I did this with VBA in Access, how do I do the same here?"

i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

I am using Async socket class to handle HTTP data. The OnRecieve event handler looks like this:
Private Sub sck_onDataArrival(ByVal sData() As Byte, ByVal BytesTotal As Integer) Handles sck.onDataArrival
Try
Dim ms As New IO.MemoryStream(sData)
Dim returnImage As Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
Picturebox1.Image = returnImage
Catch ex As Exception
Debug.Print(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
I realize this will not work because the byte array still contains the header information from the response from the server. How to strip this data without converting the byte array to a string. I need to strip the header response information and just be left with the image data and from there convert that data into a stream so the stream can be loaded into an image and displayed in my picturebox.

I have a program, and a string is generated. something like:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_imdb CONTENT= [URL]
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_urls[] CONTENT=[URL]
Now I need this to be:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_imdb CONTENT=[URL]
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_urls[] CONTENT=[URL]
v=ACFXQPGT
I know this might look easy, but I already trid so much but it doesn't work.
Now I was trying a regex:
Dim pattern As String = "CONTENT=|?http"
For Each m As Match In Regex.Matches(Data, pattern)
MsgBox(m)
Next
But I don't know what the "|?" or pattern should be.

I have developed a web service on my LAN PC, then I hosted that Web Service using IIS and now I can access that web service on that Local PC using http://localhost:<PortNo>/Service.asmx and similarly I can access this service from another PC on my LAN network using http://<ip address>:<PortNo>/Service.asmx, all is well.
Now I am trying to access this web service from a VB.net Program on another PC on my LAN. I added the Service to my VB.net Project using the Add reference in solution Explorer, all is well again. Now the problem is I don't know how to access that service in my code? When I try something like this:
dim myService as new WebCalService
'Webcal is my service running on a network PC.
I get an underline under WebCalService and it says Type Expected? How to use a WebService on a LAN in VB.net??
