I am trying to send and receive packets over the LAN (i.e. NIC port) using VB.NET. I found some code that uses Socket wrench, but problem with such solutions is that users will need to install extra drivers and all which I do not want. I am looking to use drivers native to the .NET environment to send and receive packets through the LAN port. My windows forms application is in VB.NETneil
I am looking to send and receive packets from the LAN port using some kind of WIndows Native object so that the user of my Windows Forms control does not have to install any third party software.[For example, for Serial port I use MSComm, i want to know what I can use for LAN port?]
I have written a programm with visual basic 2008 express edition and I'd like to use the parallel port to communicate with my self-made circuit. I want to controll 120 LEDs with the parallel port but I don't get it how. I know how to activate the databus but not how to activate the controle lines of the parallel port.
I have a problem with something.I have a Arduino board I wan't to communicate with by serialport. In "Form1", I'll retrieve values from the Arduino board, and I want it to calculate and display data in TextBoxes.How can I do this?[code...]
I will be using .Net to communicate with a small unit that outputs data via a serial port. I have used an application that monitors the data between an application and this little box. What I see is functions such as IRP_MJ_CREATE, IRP_MJ_READ, etc. At first I thought I needed to build functions and I would send these via the serial port (a novice thought) now I see that the above functions are part of the Windows Driver Kit. So is it true that I call these functions in my code and then the underlying drivers communicate to the serial port and the approppriate data is seen at the serial port. So for .Net (VB) I need to find and use the appropriate functions and communicate to the serial port.
I have developed a microprocessor based devise. It can communicate with laptop through RS232 as a VB application. Now most of laptops have USB port only. So I want to use USB replacing RS232 port on laptop side but not change anything on the device side. Can I do this using a USB-RS232 converter? How to change the VB software?
I have a Windows form.in windows form have a combo box that give me a list of available port serial with it code (Dim ports As String() =SerialPort.GetPortNames())for example( Com1,Com8,Com15,...).but I want to give me fullname of serial port in device manager for example in dvice manager is these (Comunication Port(COM1) - Printer Port(LPT1) And USB Serial Port(COM8)).how to Get it?
If I uninstall the COM1 and reboot, it works. If I shut down (power off) and restart, I get the message below. If I uninstall then click on Scan for Hardware Changes,The given port name does not start with COM/com or does not resolve to a valid serial port. Parameter name:portName
I am trying to get my 4 port USB relay board to work in VB.net using the COM PORT. I found some code from a poster who has the 16 port USB relay version. When trying his code i can only get it to turn on relays 1-3 all at the same time. The product can be found here: USB 4 port relay
"01+//" - Relay 1 is switched ON "01-//" - Relay 1 is switched OFF "02+//" - Relay 2 is switched ON "02-//" - Relay 2 is switched OFF
[code].....
So i am confused as to how to separate each relay out with that code above and just be able to turn on any number 1-4 relay on or off independently from each other!

I wish to communicate over usb in vb.net i realize i might need to use openfile windows api or createfile windows api but im doing a generic mouse driver which should be miles simpler to do since microsoft and usb.org already have the report descriptors available so all i want to do is just send data to the device directly using my program.
I'm working on a little app which needs to recieve information from a script on a web server. I tried to have the vb.net app pole a php web page for a command every half of a second. This worked but, the app is streaming video and every time the app needs to pole the webpage the video stutter stops. I tried setting the pole timer to 5 seconds and still every 5 seconds the video stutters. I thought that maybe sockets would be the answer, so I looked for examples of vb.net socket servers and php socket clients. I tried implementing a solution but the php cannot seem to connect to the vb.net server. I googled around and saw that maybe php cannot communicate with a vb.net application.
Im having problem with the Serial Port. When i run my program, "Access to the port 'COM1' is denied". What does that mean? Im not sure whats happening because theres no error in my code. Someone suggest me to use 'COM2'. Which is also the same result. I have a microcontroller, programmed and run it. And i need to capture the data onto my vb, which is on a multiline textbox. How to i do that?Just to double check my code?
If I control both applications, what is the best way to communicate between 2 exe's written in VB.Net. For example, I want to drop an XML file from one app, and pick it up with the other, but I do not want poll for the file. I've heard of named pipes, but I found it was complicated. What's the most effecient way to do this?
I'd like to know what the best way to communicate between two applications via a LAN would be? ..and would it work over multiple versions of Windows (XP, Vista, NT etc..)?
I have a Digi Modem connect to a device. How could I sent the code through the IP address what the Modem create to get communicate with my device? how to defined the IP, 2) make the communication 3) sent the code?
I`m working on a project where i have connected a FPGA chip to the PCI bus but now i am trying to figure out how to communicate in VB to that device? Normally the device has memory assigned to it in XP (address h00000200 to h0000037F) but i don`t know how to read/Write to that memory directly in VB...
I have a library that interacts with our phone system, ie, Hey phone, call this number for me. This library is used in one of our in house products. I would like to put this instead in a service, so that any of our in house products can send the service a message to place a phone call. So basically I want to communicate from a program built in .Net 3.5 with a service running on the same machine also built in the 3.5 framework. I have done some work with WCF and was considering using this but thought I would ask what others have done or would do.
Recently, I Developed an Experiment Application with VB.net(in Windows platform), When the application collected the data,I want to use R to Analysis the data, But I don't know how to Communicate with R (In other word, I want to send R script to R in my own application).
I have a program that opens the command prompt and sends commands. I need to leave the first CMD open, open ANOTHER cmd and send more commands to the second one.
Then I do some processing and can close them both. How can I open more than one, and how do I refer to the first or second one?
I'm coding a restaurant program where every table, server and guest is a different object - Is there a right way of getting objects to communicate with each other?For example, one server might have 5 table objects, each table might have 2 guest objects. Is there a way to neatly tie all this information together. If a guest moves to a different table I have to change a large number of variables (number of guests served by server, table set to empty, new table sat...etc etc.)?
I am writing a VB.Net application wherein I would like to be able to communicate with it from a remote computer. Specifically, I would like to be able to send (from a remote computer) both text data and also images (jpg, png, etc.) and then have the application use the sent information by displaying it to the user. How would I code the VB.Net app to be able to handle incoming data like this?
If possible I'd like to not be dependent on .Net technology on the "sending" side so I'm not sure if I would just use sockets or a web service or what.
I have a problem I have a project that needs to have a communication of asp .net to vb .net my project is i want to access or control(like a remote control) the vb .net application(server) using asp .net(client side) asp .net is like a remote control and the vb .net is the application that needs to control i need to use internet to do that.
I do not know how to communicate form VB.net with a webpage, meaning that when I send a data string, then the results shown on the form VB.net, so the webpage of the server sends the data string to form vb.net.
