How would I make a Visual Basic application talk to a web server? Someone will press something on the site and I want the application to display the information that the web site passes along to it.
View 2 RepliesThe 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.

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 RepliesIm doing a little program (.net2) that need to get info from a server.For starters I just want the Client-program to send a "Hi" and receive a"Ok" from server when client-program is started.
View 4 RepliesI'm doing a small project. It works on a LAN. The working of the project is:In client side, a user would enters "username" and "password". It would sent that to the server, along with the time.The server would authenticates info on checking a db and writes some info to the db.Also, the server should be able to sent some commands or instructions to the clients.These commands on received by the client, it would invoke certain functions/subs on the client based on the command.So, would it be better to use TCP client & listener or WCF ?
View 6 RepliesI have a client/server program. There is a variable called readData that takes returndata and places it there. My question is, why can't I access this variable directly, for instance, varC = readData and then try to access a piece of it i.e. textbox1.text = varC(2), I get an error "object reference not set to instance of an object". Why is this happening? It is because the readData is a networking 'component'? How do I get around this? I can post more code from the server app if needed.

The client/server communication will only take place in the same network.I can use TCP, but then I have to configure separate IP ports for every server instance. I can however simply use named pipes so I don't have to think about port numbers and simply use the name of the server instance.There will not be very frequent and/or large data client/server communication. It's some sort of a ERP application that will only communicate once per 30 seconds on average.
View 2 RepliesI have a TCP connection code for client and server communication. It's not meant to be malware but it collects the clients computer information and then connects to the server.
It successfully "connects" but then immediately disconnects.Here is the code for the server:
Dim Listener As TcpListener
Dim Client As TcpClient
Dim ClientList As New List(Of ChatClient)
Dim sReader As StreamReader

I have port forwarding all done and it works if I run the client and server on my own machine. If I run the client on another machine though It gives me a message box saying that it connected with the clients remote IP and at the same time it tells me it disconnected. The client never sends the system information. What is the problem?
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()
Heres the Client:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("You must enter UN/PW!")

I want to make an application that can push ads (website) to client..
Here is the case : Client try to connect to internet via wifi. Once the client is connected, server send a website address to client, and a popup (website sent by server) will appear in the client's computer in default browser.
I can list all IP connected to server, but i don't know how to push the website to client
Here is the code to list all IP connected to server : (import System.Net library)
String strHostName = "";
if(args == null || args.Length == 0){
strHostName = Dns.GetHostName();

private string Extract_Source(string url)

string output = "";

It can fetch source properly but the problem is it fetch website source based on server from where script executed (i mean where website hosted), but i want to fetch content based on client information (ip etc)
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.

View 3 RepliesI am creating small application (desktop search engine) which uses sql server as back end. Sql server is used to store huge data using indexing (for quick search). Is it necessary that client should have sql server on his machine to run the application? I don't want to install sql server on client's machine, because my application is just a small utility.Is there any other way so that I can store huge data using indexing?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
how 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])

How can I find out if the application is now running on a server or client (programmatically)?
i currently have a project. The application created in this project will be located in a server, and some machines can access this application at the same time. The problem is, i don't know what's needed to connect that application to several machines. I know how to build this application and run it in a single machine, but i have no idea about running this on server.
View 3 RepliesI have developed 2-3 standalone windows application using VS2008(vb.net) + Sql server (2008,2005) and quite comfortable with stand alone windows application. Now i am trying to make a windows app which will share a server database on LAN. I googled alot about this but still no success. So i decided to make that as stand alone app and i just changes the connection string to use remote server database. Everything is working fine still. All the insert, update and delete query are same as stand alone n me not getting any problem while testing through one more remote client system. But while googling i heard abt "CONCURRENCY" control.So please guide me is anything wll b wrong in future wid my this application when i will deploy this to my users? What about locks and how can i implement this to my Insert, update and delete queries to control concurrency and maintain integrity ?Please guide me step by step becoz i m new be to client/server application.
