I have been working on a server and client tcp/ip program and am having some issues. I start the server and then start the client, and the connection always fails. I don't know what's going wrong. Here's the
Server:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.IO
[Code]...
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]...
Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1
[CODE]...
I have been reading through Atheists posts in regards to client-server and TCP client/server connection's. But how do i go about writing a program with 1 client and server where the client side creates a text file.Once the server sees there is a text file it connects and downloads it to itself or the client pushes the text file to the server.Once on the server i will read the text file and put its info into a sql db.

View 1 RepliesI made a simple TCP server (I've found the example on the web) in VB to receive data from about 40 TCP clients.The clients are not synchronized but sends data about every 18 minutes; the problem is sometimes several clients sends data at the same moment, so I can't receive data.I also made a second program that reads the data (server program writes data on a file, read from the second program) scheduled.
My question is this: I've seen on the web examples about Multithreaded Server Socket Program, so I suppose this could manage my 40 clients (but now the clients are syncronized and send data at the same time in client mode) or is better get data (I have a central client that asks data to all 40 devices in server mode)?
Second question: can I make a single program where I run both TCP client and TCP server at the same time?
I am creating a very simple Voting System, that will be use on electing new set of officer in a teacher cooperative...
So I have to create two separate program, a Server Program that will manage all the information in the election and a Client Program where voters will vote their selected candidate...
The election officers wanted that the Server Program will display the Voting Results at real time... So when the Voter finished voting, The Voting Result displayed by the Server Program will also be updated every time the Client Program Insert the data to Database....
An action listener in Server Program that will execute if new data is inserted in a Table in the Database made by the Client Program...
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])

View 1 RepliesI have been a web developer for a number of years now and I am making the move over to form based applications. I am trying to do what I believe should be relatively simple, yet I have no idea where to start.At home I have a machine that family members tend to use P2P programs, which causes my online gaming to suffer with glitches.I want to create a server and client program.where the client app (on my laptop) consists of only one button, when the button is pressed I want the server app (my Desktop) to kill the P2P program.I already know how to kill/start the application in question.I have previously done something similar but I had used winsock (not in VS2010) and was a long time ago.
1) Sending a value/string from the client app
2) receiving the value/string on the server app

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a server/client program in vb.net. What I am trying to do is test a battery that is running on a handheld (which runs Windows CE 5) by connecting to a "server" and sending information every 10 seconds or so. I am very new to .NET, and am not really sure how to go about doing this. I want two separate applications running, with the server-side keeping all of the data, since the battery is going to die, and I will lose any information if I keep it client-side. I am also new to networking, so I was not sure of whether I should create a Socket, or if I should try to do something else.

The client would need to be able to communicate with the server for several simple tasks, such as checking if the file on the client is different from the file on the server. Or issue a "create folder" command. And of course the file transfer itself.[code]...
I'm trying to make a Client that will automatically run a .DLL that I have created and send information over port 80 to my Server program that will take that data and import it into a database for me. Problem is, I don't know where to start as I have never done this before. I want to do this in VB .NET as this is the programming language that I know. What are methods of doing this? Is there sample code out there for something like this? My google searches are failing me.
A better layout of what I'm trying to do:1. Client Runs .DLL, retrieving information from an Excel file.2. Client takes these properties with the data it contains and sends it to a program outside of the local network through port 80, my boss refuses to let me use any other port.3. Server accepts the data and builds its own properties to be imported into my Access Database.4. Repeat over, and over, and over, and over.
I plan for the server application to be a console application, and the client to be a windows form.
I am trying to code a client - server program. I have 4 winsock controls on my main form. The client is able to connect to a free one just fine, and can figure out if they are all in use. When testing my program, I found that when I try to send data through a socket, then send different data directly after, it jumbles the data together.
CODE:
That is the code I am using. When the client is connected to the server, and ready for data, it sends the packet "@Ab". When the server receives this packet, It is supposed to send the welcome alert, and then current events posted in the server.
On the client side, there is a message box that is supposed to show the welcome alert, and at the bottom on a status strip, the current events are supposed to be listed.
When the welcome alert shows, it contains the alert text fine, but then shows the packet for the events after it.
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 was wanting to make a simple client-server program.I saw some code for it and it was easy to understand but it was with winsock.
The program is:
Client: Clicks button.
Server: Recieves Text written in clients textbox.
Is there a reasonably easy way to do this?Maybe Net.Sockets or something similar?
basically i just want client to say "C: emp" ENTER
then, server must reply with all its files in c: emp

View 3 RepliesI'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.
Im using the code from [URL] as a starter, most of the code is the same. the chat system works fine but on the client a added a disconnect button "clientSocket.Close()" and as soon as i click that i get errors, on the client, this is the code...
Private Sub getMessage()
For infiniteCounter = 1 To 2
[CODE]...
And this line...
serverStream.Read(inStream, 0, buffSize)
gives me "Unable to read data from the transport connection: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall."
Now im talking the server, after the client clicks disconnect or closes by task manager, looses connection, etc the server crashes and gives me.

I wrote a VB code to call a sp in sql server 2005, which returns a recordset as follows:Dim objRecordset As ADODB.Recordset Set objComm = New ADODB.Command
Set objRecordset = objComm.Execute If Not objRecordset.BOF And Not objRecordset.EOF Then
Set objRecordset = objRecordset.NextRecordset I need to continue to get next recordset since there are many select statements inside the sp which I need to get the data. The code works fine when I create the DSN using SQL Server but it does not work when using the connection string or SQL Server Native Client DSN. It either breaks at Set objRecordset = objComm.Execute ( connection string )or at If Not objRecordset.BOF And Not objRecordset.EOF Then(SQL native client )
I have worked on this for a couple of days now and could not figure it out.Is this a bug in SQL Native Client or something related to some configuration on the database side? IS there a way I can change the connection property to get this working using SQL native client or connection string?

View 6 RepliesI'm currently "trying" to make an app that gets a certain text from the client and sends it to a server and the server sorts it out every text that he gets from the client into a different label every time he gets a text from a client. For example :
Client1 sends certain text to Server and server puts it in label1.text
Client2 Sends different text to Server and server puts it in label2.text
Client3 sends different text than 1 and 2 to Server and server puts it in label3.text
and so on.
