VS 2010 Tcp Client Application Mixes Up The Order Of Received Packets?
Oct 22, 2010
I have written a simple Server application that transmits an XML string to all connected clients when the user updates/alters a datagridview. When I connect to this server with telnet I can see the correctly formed xml string.
I have also written a client application, which on reception of the Xml string, displays it in a datagridview. But When I look at the xml string it is either missing parts of in the wrong sequence.
Hey guys, I am trying to send data from client to server (encrypted) and the string sent from the client is not the same as recieved from the server. I've been killing my brain for hours to get this to work but I cant manage. Im converting everything to Base64 string.
Client:
Public Sub SendMessage(ByVal msg As String) Try SyncLock myclient.GetStream sw = New IO.StreamWriter(myclient.GetStream)
I'm writing a program which uses sockets, Now the issue I'm having is, If the packet received is over a certain size, the socket then fails to receive anymore packets/data after it.
I'm trying to sniff packets from a specific application. I searched around but couldn't find anything useful, but I did hear something about WinPcap. What is WinPcap and how do I use it? Also, is there another way to sniff packets?
Now i need to send separate packets from the server to the client.For the client I am using usual Tcp but for the server I am using Winsock Control. [code]...
I'm administering an application written in vb.net 2005 and running on windows XP but displayed to the client through citrix. The client has recieved a big red x over on of the tabs. I am unable to duplicate it?
I'm trying to cycle thru the emails in an Outlook Inbox, but strangely, when my code cycles thru each individual email, the order of each in the FOR....IN.... loop is non-sensicle. The loop seems to start from the email in the middle of the list, cycles down to the end, then starts at the last email received and cycles down from there. When viewed in Outlook and sorted by latest email first and descending, the emails seems to be in order. This is my code:
[Code]....
Should I have to sort the emails first by received date descending? If so, how do I do that? If you look at my code, I have attempted that but it doesn't seem to work.
i try to transfer packets from the PC to the Mobile phone~ my PC is act as a Server and Mobile as a Client. My Mobile is successfully connect to my PC, but when i try to pass a packets from Mobile, it went failed without any error. The Server didn't receive any packets from Mobile. i had test my code on PC to PC and it's work fine. Anyone have this kind of experience?
I have an exe file that I have copied to test workstations and would like to launch that application instantly when needed from a dedicated server. I could do an agent based (timer) application where client application checks every 2 minutes (or so) for a file on server, it there file is modifoed then it launchs the GUI app on the workstation.
I really want an agentless approach and have tried PSexec and MS SCCEM agent but it still takes 3-4 seconds to launch on each machine one after another. If we are talking about thousands of machines in my environment there could be delay of more than an hour to launch app on each machine.
I was wondering if socket programming is the best approach where instead of a timer; app listens to a port and when it sees it it launches local exe file. I am new to socket TCP/IP programming.
I've been working on this project for about a year now. It's a basic clientserver chat program. After a long time of improvement, I decided to test out the strength of my server.
On the client, I fired off 200 chat messages ("FLOOD# 1"... "FLOOD# 200") to the server as fast as possible. The result: Server immediately crashes. After some slight tampering, I was able to get the server to process 135 of the 200 messages before giving up. It no longer crashes, but something different happens. The data from the client is received in order, but when I pass that message to a function (myForm.OnLineReceived), The data is completely out of order. If I add a slight delay between the calling of the OnLineRecieved function, The messages are in perfect order.
Each message from the client is first encrypted, then encoded in base64. An "-" is appended to the end so that the server can easily find the end of each data "packet".
Server Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets Imports System.Text ' The UserConnection class encapsulates the functionality of a TcpClient connection ' with streaming for a single user.
Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again") Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.
This might not be so 'VB' as it is 'SQL using VB' I have an application with a built in MS Access DB. I have a table that has a column full of integers, I shoot the DB a SQL "order by 'column name' " string and it returns the table ordered by my column of integers.BUT it returns them like this, and I want them like this
0 6 1 5 2 4
[code]....
How do I get the OrderBY to do a descending list starting with the highest number?
I'm working on the exercise page 73 (VB 2010 in 24 hours). It's basically a form with 2 text boxes, 2 text labels and a command button. It's really simple and uses this loop to cycle through the items, and tell me the name of them in a Messagebox
Is it possible to monitor how much traffic my application has used? I'm interested to see how much data that has been sent and received over the internet from/to my own vb.net application.
Some people have argued that the C# 4.0 feature introduced with the dynamic keyword is the same as the "everything is an Object" feature of VB. However, any call on a dynamic variable will be translated into a delegate once and from then on, the delegate will be called. In VB, when using Object, no caching is applied and each call on a non-typed method involves a whole lot of under-the-hood reflection, sometimes totaling a whopping 400-fold performance penalty.
I write in VB2010, the software should work with the external hardware via RS232, the thing is when I send a command to the external hardware I have to wait for a reply from the device that command was received, just after I got the answer I want to continue send another command, I have a long sequence of commands i'm supposed to send, but I need to know for sure that the commands were received before I go on to the next command. I did the following code, but I think the code is not effective, because sometimes I do not get an answer and then the whole sequence commands destroyed. Maybe you can help me optimize the code?

Can't find any free ones so thought I would work on one on my own for the heck of the learning experience with TCP stuff.I'm about ready to start on the messaging aspect of it.The biggest thing I'm wondering about is figuring out when people are online.I'm not too sure how the whole thing works.Say I turn on my messenger. Would my messenger just send a message to all IPs on a certain port to say I'm online and then wait for a message back from the IPs that can return messages and then figure out who is online that way?
I'm developing a web application that requires the user to log in using forms authentication. inside the webpage you need to download a desktop application that requires to login to the same system too. Is there a way to transfer the current logged credentials from the web application to the windows desktop application without need to login again?. Both applications shares a Login object from an vb.net interface.I tried to save the IP address in the Database but that don't work for me because the website needs to be accessed inside and/or outside of the company and the user cannot login twice in different machines.
I have wrote an Application for a organisation and they had let the app run in their lan using Samba, it worked perfect. Now they want to work over the internet.The Problem is that I have written this app with Sqlite, that means its currently working so:They have a exe and the sqlite dll and the sqlite database on their samba server and they connected a network drive on their windows pc to run it. So that means every pc is writing over samba to the sqlite database.
I tried it over the internet, but like i thought sqlite is a local database and its very slow, even if the ping is under 50ms. I could create a tcp server, that handles all and writes all to the sqlite database, but I have already written around 20.000 code lines for the project, so that would be not the best option for the lazy me. I have used only one sqlite class in my client for querieng, so I thought that it could work without much work, if i would replace the sqlite database adapter with the mysql database adapter, since sqlite has nearly the same syntax then mysql.
Client/Server Application in vb.net 2010 i have created but it was just basic one. I need to show send data from client to sever and sever to client and and more functionality. (like showing price ot item or anything
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.
We are creating a Who wants to be a millionaire style game in VB. Our server is pulling information such as questions and answers from a Access Database and sending them to the contestants (Clients). All transfer of information is directly from the server to each client. One of the "Life Lines" we want to use is "Ask a friend", where one client is able to Instant message another client for a short time to get help on the question.
Visual Studio intellicence tell me that Order property could be typed, but when I do that the compiler throw an error "Order is not declare. It may be inaccessible due to its procetion level."
