i built a web based task manager / scheduler using vb.net
i need to add a small communication part to it to allow users to send messages to each other.
below is my concept design. the question is: is this the correct way of building a simple communicator or do you have better

View 1 RepliesSince I am answering 2 threads about communication between 2 applications and that I talk about memoryMapFile in these posts I am posting this for those that can be interested Even if the MemoryMapFile exist since a long time in the native code world, it is new with the framwork4 in managed code.I would start by saying that if you look at the examples showed in the documentation, the control is done using Mutex ... It is what you DON'T want to do The right way is to use window message to automate The example here is: 2 applications, one with 2 buttons and a label.
Button1 ask the second application to start Notepad and Button2 ask the second application to stop it When the second application has executed the command asked by the first application, it send back a string that the first application show in the label The buttons are only enabled when both application have show that they are ready for the communication

I have a desktop and web application connected to same database. Which is the most preferred method to make them communicate with each other?

View 2 RepliesI am starting a new project in VB, a card game modelled to be similar to a real card game.
I have the majority of the program planned out and have even started coding parts of it; my problem comes with the networking.This is a real-time card game (not turn-based) and I want to be able to play with real people (family mostly, so over LAN is what I'm after).
I have tried searching for code samples but I everything I have found seems more complicated than I feel is required for the task, introducing a lot of new concepts and not explaining them.
What I'm after is a simple way to exchange the information in real-time, I don't care so much for efficiency (at the moment) just ease of use - though if I need to wade through a heap of documentation I will. A perfect answer would tell me what the names of some of the controls/methods that would be appropriate are, even if it just re-affirms a bit of the complexity, you do not have to detail anything if you don't want to I just feel a bit at loss as to what exactly it is I am looking for!
I've got a problem to make two applications to send text-data between themselves.
The message is transmited without any problems, the awnser is received too. But, there is a lot of a "New line" char in the end of the string send/received on each side. I guess it's because of i'm readeing the full buffer; i've tried to remove all Chr(10) and Chr(13); I also tried to trim the string, but it didn't worked.
Here the code I use :
Client Side :
Dim cl As New TcpClient
cl.Connect("127.0.0.1", 2000)
Dim str As NetworkStream = cl.GetStream
[Code]....
UTF8 works on 4 bytes, and when I read the stream and I put it into a buffer, if there is no char, the 4 bytes stay on a 0 value.
A piece of code that will allow the user of my application, to enter the text "unemployed" into a text box and also allow them to enter numbers for how many years the person had been employed for.
View 2 RepliesI have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]

What kind of objects should BLL and DAL use for communication - DataTable or List<Customer> (for example)? In first case, BLL logic should transform Customer object to DataTable and send it to DAL. In secod case, DAL layer should be aware of Customer class, which is in BLL layer. But originaly DLL references DAL and not opposite...
Should I put all classes into seperate assembly, which is referenced by all others (Common, BusinessObjects, ...)? In this case I could use Customer class in all my projects. Should I even bother to seperate DAL and BLL when I know, that only one BLL will use my DAL. In this case I could merge them together into one project. PS - I am reading about DataTables and a lot of people say that we shouldn't use them at all. What are better options? Maybe it is time for me to learn some ORM mapping tools :)
I need help in how to save text to a file in the text editing application I created. Well, I tried using the code below but it didn't do the work:[code]
View 3 RepliesI first want my program to get the text from a text file(I know how that's done), but once it gets it, I want to somehow save it that it won't need to get the text again(for example, if you restart the application, it won't need to get the text from the file because the text is already saved).

View 1 RepliesI have 2 projects (P1 and P2) in a VB2008 solution, with each project compiled to a separate EXE.P2.exe is started via a button on P1 and while P2 runs, certain aspects of P1 are disabled. When P2 closes, P1 needs to reactivate those disabled aspects.Question: How do I communicate with P1 from P2, seeing that they are 2 separate EXE files, even though part of the same solution?

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to read out the contents of a page that has already be loaded into a webbrowser...say IExplorer...? On 'normal' windows programs there is a way to externally control a program and its contents.

View 2 RepliesIs there a best practice way to communicate between a service and a GUI? Both will be created by myself so I'm not wanting to communicate to a service which belongs to someone else.
View 4 RepliesI;m making an application (who ins't xD), anyways, I'm using some encapsulation objects to transport stuff to the BLL. i was wondering (and might be sound stupid, I know) what you guys think is better practice:Either use Objects for transporting lots of stuff (like a BLL object to transport all its attributes) Or-handle around Strings through the GUI and only create objects when strictly needed.
Another question that just popped my mind: I'm using a Validation class in the BLL in order to validate stuff like "This particular object is already mapped, error" or "This is not well formed", and throw exceptions, instead of boolean values, since I'm at BLL level. Do you guys use a Validation class or perform the validation from the object itself? The old "who's responsible" problem.

I made a device (it's a remote-control your computer thing). Is it possible to interact with it using USB & VB.NET? If so, how? I've looked around and it doesn't seem to be part of the framework, but maybe there's some API I could use? I could always use serial ports, but I don't really want this device to require a battery. Is it possible, and if not, is there another way I could do this?
View 16 RepliesI am currently using the code from this thread:Click Here Using the code how would i allow the user through the client to send a message to the server which specifies the user the message is intended for as well as the message. I know how to send messages as there is a function for that in the code supplied in the link.Though how do i associate usernames with each client?

Looking for serial port communication using ASP.NET 4.0. I have a cardwriter/reader from IDTECH which talks through a comport. Is there any way to accomplish with .net through the web.
I read things but most of the topics on speaking about .net 2.0 and I was not sure if they created something to handle this in .net 4.0
I made some code in vb.net which checks if a certain process is running, and returns a 1 if it is, or a 0 if it isn't. Now I want it to send a packet to my server or something which would log the IP of the client, or something similar.
View 1 RepliesI have a device that communicates with the pc via a serial to usb cable. So I have made windows form with a serial communication to speak with it. The communication is every 125ms so every time it checks if the com port is open and sends the new message. The problem is that if the usb is not connected the program tries every 125 ms to connect to the serial port and the busy cursor appears always and the form is not responding to any action (for example enter into the menu or refresh a listbox). I have tried multiple times to connect and disconnect the usb while the program is running. That's mean that the serial connection stopped and started all over again several time. The problem is that occasionally it shows an error "unable to open com port".
