Okay so i am dreadfully bored in my Visual basic class at school and thought it would be fun to write a lan chat program for all of my class mates to use. So I was wondering what would be the best way to go about it. I have read up on Winsock but i can't tell if it even exists for Vb 10 or if it is usable if none of our computers cant talk over the internet. If winsock is not a viable option then what would be an alternative.

View 2 RepliesSo, in another related post, i got the chat to send to a java server, cool.Now, it's a matter of sending it back to VB.on the server side of things, (in java), I am using the following
JAVA
public static void sendback(String what2send) throws IOException {
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(mySocket.getOutputStream());
[code]....
1) I have a chat Program.
2) To access the Chat Program one has to put in ones Username and password in a Login Form.
3) TextBox1 = Username TextBox2 = Password
4) One clicks the "Log In" button.
5) HERE is the problem. I do not know how to check if the specific username and the password are correct. I have a file called "Users.dat". In there every valid Username(marked with a *) and it's Password(marked with a #) is contained e.g.*Username#Password.
I want my "Log In" program to check if the Username matches one of the usernames and if the username is found in the file, if the password provided is the same as the one standing behind the Username in the file.
6) If both the Username and Password are valid, the Chat Programs shows up.

View 11 Repliescreate a chat room? My current hosting is a linux server with mysql. I want to make a client that can connect to the database.(already done) and if the user exists, to open a chat form. I want this to be multithreaded, that way I can have up to 500 people chatting with each other at the same time, from different locations. (realistically will usually be around 50)I have found some winsock type examples, but I dont understand how I can adapt that to work with a linux server... Can anyone help give me examples? I guess I basically want an IRC.(Which I dont know how to implement.)

View 4 RepliesI have made a GUI for my chat program and I'm going to finish the server stuff later. I am using Emoticons ( ) in both ASCII form and picture form. The ASCII ones work perfectly. I have taken the picture ones and put their pictures on buttons so their click event copies and pastes the picture to the rich text box I'm using for text input, but when i hit the submit button, it doesn't copy the picture.I'm using this code to copy the image from the buttons:
Clipboard.Clear()
Clipboard.SetImage(Me.btnSmi.Image)
Me.rtbIn.Paste()
ive tried making it so it copies the picture from the rich text box but that didnt work. i tried declaring a global variable (imgEmo as image) and the setting the variable = to what ever emoticon button is pushed at the time (click event) and using the following code in the submit button's click event:
Clipboard.Clear()
Clipboard.SetImage(imgEmo)
Me.rtbChat.Paste()
This is the code for my submit button:
rtbChat.Text += ((txtIn.Text + (" --") + (TimeOfDay)))
As a side problem, how do i make it so that every time i hit the submit button it starts a new line and formats the comment like this:
James says: (what ever the message is) --(TimeOfDay)
Kristie says: (What ever her message is) --(TimeOfDay)
I understand that for her answer to be there i need a server and all sorts of other code but i am not interested in that yet. I just need that format.
(Name) says: (string) --(Time)
(Name) says: (string) --(Time)
The name is coming from a separate form, the login form, and it is displayed in the top of my main form as "-- Welcome (Name)". i used the text changes event of the main form to then close the login form. I tried using this line of
'This was a global
Dim strNom As String = Login.txtUrn.Text
'in the submit button's click event
rtbChat.Text += ((strUrn) + ("says: ") + (rtbIn.Text) + (" --") + (TimeOfDay))
strUrn = strNom
This did nothing, in the chat box it returned "says: (message) --(TimeOfDay)".
From all the chat applications I successfully made each and every one of them required me to port forward my router so that the data can be received. Now my question is how can I make my chat program work on computers that have routers with most of the ports blocked, how do traditional chat programs do it? Perhaps The chat program intercepts packets then sends it to a known port such as 80?
