I've looked on how to do it but none of them worked for me, or were server to client. I want to make it client to server to clients but I don't know how! I know I shouldn't tell you to give me code but maybe give me a few tips on this. Me and my friend share files nearly everyday.
View 11 RepliesHey 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 want to know how you can export data from a disconnected database that could be access or ms sql to an sql server database.
Here is the scenario:
I have several software in a remote sites on either sql or ms access databases as back-ends...and I have another sql server database that i want to consolidate data from the remote sites.
One solution I have been thinking about is to use email to send incremental backups of the databases to the main database using a separate piece of software and have another one on the main server to pull that data into the database.
Basically am looking at setting up the remote databases as linked servers at the main database and then having incremental backups sent by email to the main database.
I have thought of replication but the internet link at the sites is terrible.
Is that a good implementation? If yes
How do i get to send the incremental backups and get them imported?(the code)

View 4 Replieshow to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])
View 9 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI have a small program which is a tcp client. I send a string from this client to a device over ethernet (it acts as the tcp server). As soon as the device recieves the input string it will respond back with response data. My problem is i am not getting the entire response data back from the server. (device).
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream = clientSocket2.GetStream()
Dim outStream As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("my-cmd")
serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)

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.

I have programmed a chat application in VB but as soon as I send any data from a client the server will send it to all. It should send a reply only to a particular client. This is the function I have used.
[Code]...
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.
[Code].....
basically i just want client to say "C: emp" ENTER
then, server must reply with all its files in c: emp
The problem I have is: When I click on cmdListen in the server form and cmdConnect in the client form,both programs won't respond and they crash for some reason I don't know.
Client source code:
Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1

Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text

I need to encrypt some basic data being sent from server to client.
I was going to open a file in bytes, convert it to chrs (Modify odd numbers by adding 2 and even numbers by adding 3) then use Base 32 (Triacontakaidecimal) or Base 16 (although base 16 will occupy twice the space). Convert the data back to bytes and after do the same with the decryptor.
About using base 32, is there some sort of class in vb.net or maybe an api?
For example, i installed the windows application in more than one pc. All the pc's are in network. I want to save the data in a single database. How it is possible?
View 7 RepliesI developed a simple examination system with registration forms. I used VB.Net as the programming language. I haven't tried manual coding for my problem yet.Anyway this is a project for the company from which I am an intern. The plan is to get every client pc to have this examination/registration application and this application will send the personal info and the score to a central database(server pc).I used MySql as the dbms and developed the application on the same machine which means that the Database server I used is only on the local host.
Now I was about to try to implement the application to one client pc(as a beta test) and installed the necessary files(.net framework) and I also installed MySQL Server(and workbench) in the server pc.When I run the application in the client PC it didn't detect/connect to the ServerPC's MySQL server instance and therefore was not able to record the dummy values I input in the client application. Take note I changed the connection string of my app to point to the ip address of the serverPC.
Should I install the MySQL Server(and Workbench) to every ClientPC so that I can create a server instance that uses the REMOTE HOST option and configure it such that it will connect to the SERVERPC's Database?How should I setup the server so it gives access to the application I installed in all clientPCs?
I need to solve the following problem:- Create a server application which generates a random number every second- Have any number of client applications access the current random number through a dll (associated to the server) at anytime How would I do this? Anyone has a prototype VB.Net code for the server which does this kind of thing? I'm pretty sure I know how to write the client code.

Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration><system.web><httpModules> section in the application configuration.
I should also mention that this same master page works elsewhere in the site. Session is used throughout the site as well (not just in the master page).

I'm not sure what I have done wrong, I am trying to get my program to send data (UsernamesPasswords) from client to server, then the server says if it's right or wrong.
The error is on this line:
Dim networkStream As NetworkStream = TcpClient.GetStream()

In our project we've decided to put an exam generator using vb.net and after generate you can send it to client computer/students. *server computer/teacher will the one who will use exam generator and send it to the client computer/student*student will recieve it and then send it back again to the server computer/teacher*teachers will going to generate an exam depends on the type of exam, so i think im going to make it a wizard type environment

I am facing problem in asynchronous socket communication.
1)I wanted to perform connect(from client to server) operation on enter button and send the data whatever client want to send and disconnect from server. And again client should get connect to server whenever client wanted to send data. this is the mechanism.
i.e how to reuse the socket.
2)Again Server should able to send the data to client.
I'm creating a reporting web page as part of a standard VB.NET web application. The page is data driven, with jquery making calls to a web service local to the application to get values of elements that are dynamically created in the DOM. Ultimately these dynamic elements and their values are all wrapped up in a JSON object, so that part of the client side is fine.
Right now, I can pass that JSON object to a method in the web service which creates an SQL Data adapter from the values and queries a database. My ultimate goal is to have this client JSON data be used to query the database and construct an excel file to send back to the user, or failing that a CSV file.
It's my understanding (from working with PDF file generation) that this type of function can only be done on the server side of the web application, not even from the web service (i.e. I can't have the web service return an array of bytes and have JavaScript/jQuery present that as a file).
So, how do I go about this? Now I have my JSON object on the client side, where should I be sending it, how, and how do I go about returning my file?
I've read about either storing the JSON in a hidden field and having the server take the elements value and go from there, or using AJAX to send the JSON to the server just before a postback is made to fire off the server-side function to run the query and return the data.
I just need a little guidance, and a little help understanding where to use the hidden field, or what I am actually doing with the pre-postback AJAX call.
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.
