View 16 RepliesI have very well knowledge about vb.net but I am suffering from 32 bit code and 64 bit code problem. I had done the code for how to check internet connection but it display's LAN connection but it doesn't shows that the Internet access, so I can't understand that what can I do to solve this problem and also I want to calculate internet speed, I put the 64 bit code but it displays the LAN speed but I want to display internet access speed.
The code is:
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation
If NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable Then
lblstatus.ForeColor = Color.Green
lbltype.ForeColor = Color.Green
[Code] .....
i have a program that calculate a download and up load speed for internet , and i'm doing this by the following for download
1. but the whole code in a timer with interval 1 second
2. calculate the total byte recieved and store it in a variable (s)
3. calculate the new value of total byte received and store it in (s1)
4. s2=s1-s
5. s2 represent the difference in an interval within 1 second is that a download speed ?
i test it with downloading some files from internet using mozilla firefox the values is so close to each other but is that the right way to measure the speed ???
I'm going to create some command line tools that make use of some large library DLL's. For security reasons I plan to embed the DLL's in the command line's EXE. Example:Suppose the CL's (command line tool) functionality is to just copy a file from A to B. The procedure to do this is included in a 100MB library DLL. If I would just take out the lines of code from the DLL and paste them in the CL's code then the CL would only be 10Kb.But I don't want to do that, so I embed the full library in the CL's EXE, which will make it 101MB in size.I once read somewhere (cannot remember where) that Windows would only use the part of the EXE that's actually used. So if that's true then it shouldn't matter if the EXE size is 10Kb, 100MB or 1GB.I own the code of the DLL, so if the best solution is to not include the whole DLL but just only link to or include those code files, of the DLL project, that are used by the CL then I will go that way.will the 10Kb CL run faster and consume less memory than the 101MB CL?
View 2 RepliesI have a ftp download in a background session that updates to a progressbar, file download takes about 2 minutes and it works great, gives me the length that has been downloaded, total size, and the bytes remaining.I thought it would be cool to have the speed show as well but not sure I have all the info to work with, or how exactly to do it. This is my loop, and what I do have works fine just want to have the speed show as well if possible:[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a TCP connection set up and I know how much data is coming in etc. I was wondering if there was a direct way to measure the current bit rate or a best practice to measure it accurately, say over a couple of seconds?
View 2 RepliesI have an app that reads a directory to get the filenames in a directory for each File in Directory(process file) next file. I want to know if the file size makes a difference to the time it takes to get the filenames.eg if a folder contains 10,000 photos of 1 megapixel and another has a folder of 10,000 photos of 8 megapixels will it take the same time.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a VB.NET app that connects to a legacy application using TCP.
The communication is working fine and is very quick once connected, but there is always a delay (of around 2.5-3.5 seconds) when I create the new connection even though I am connecting to my local machine[code]...

View 2 RepliesI need to check whether If the Internet Connection Is available or not
If My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable = True Then
Return My.Computer.Network.Ping("8.8.8.8")
Else
Return False

View 2 RepliesWhat is the best practice way of detecting internet connection?
From Windows Vista onwards, a status is set in windows that is displayed in the task bar. However, I cannot call this function/api/whatever, since some of the client pc's are still on xp, and only due for upgrade in 18 months.
so do i use and request something like [url]... to try and see it it works, and on the catch block set the return value to false, or is there another way?
Second part of this question, If no network connection is available, I can use [url]... to dial a connection. Will this use internet explorer's settings, or dial the connection marked as default in DUN?

In my application, there is sending email feature using Rebex. Sometimes, it cannot send email. So I tried to browse IE and I'm beware if 3G connection signal appears, sending works properly.
Around connection signal on Screen, there is "H" symbol. What is it?
For my case, it's not good to switch 3G connection by browsing IE. how to handle it.

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a Silverlight 4 application and would like to check when opening the installed out of browser application, whether there is a valid internet connection (to then download some data from my website). I realise that I could put a try catch around a WebRequest but that seems a bit hacky to me.
EDIT: What I meant by valid internet connection is just connected to the internet
is there a way I can proxify my application's connection to the internet??
I want it to be able to select a random proxy from a list of proxy IP address in a text file.
I just can't seem to establish a connection between my two P2P applications over the internet(LAN works perfectly fine).
I have tried the following.
- Disabling Firewall
- Changing Port
The only way I can establish a connection is if I'm connecting to the same computer using the universal IP or the local. Does anyone have a fix for this? Oh and here is the error that I receive when trying to connect over the internet:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 255.255.255.255:8787
at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port)

How I can check if the internet connection is working or not? i have to check every few seconds without getting stuck.
View 9 RepliesThis is the work of one responder for the most part, and is not indicative of the quality of most of the posts.But you can judge that for yourself.
If you are writing a program that is used to monitor the status of your network, then this thread may not be of interest.
If you are an application programmer that uses network resources to accomplish your goal, i.e. you are using SMTP, FTP, HTTP, NNTP, NTP etc., and you think that you need to check for a connection first, then read on.Follow up to this.Before getting all geeky let's take a little detour...
Five days a week I get up, eat breakfast, check my email, forums, etc., take a shower, get dressed, and then drive to school.Many of you probably have a similar routine.What is interesting about that is not what we do, but what we dont do,because of our expectations and experience.Here is what I dont do.
I dont stick my finger in the electrical socket to see if there is electricity for the coffee maker and toaster.I dont fire up the command prompt and ping some host on the internet to see if I have connectivity.I dont check the battery, tires, water level, clutch fluid level, washer fluid level, etc.,before I drive off.
All of that is based on expectation and experience.So why would you write an application that pings the internet before it did something (SMTP, FTP, HTTP, NNTP, NTP etc)???? Is your experience or expectation that the network will be down?To illustrate and hopefully convince you that, like Oblio, it is pointless, create a new form with three buttons. In the following examples I use a WebRequest / WebResponse as my 'Something'.Here is what some think is a good approach, the classic ping-then-do, what I think you shouldn't do.[code]....What is wrong with this code is that all of the network IO is being done without a Try / Catch block.
I've project where i wanna check if user is connected to internet if he isn't then form must close and another form should show up ! Problem i'm getting is i can't use check it constantly, even if i use while loop
keep looping the following code until condition is wrong or until connection is made
While IsConnectionAvailable() = False
' code goes here for when connection to hotflask can't be made[code].....
but here form 2 keep showing up and it crashes system, is there any simple way to do it .

I cannot use any host like[URL]..to check internet connection because it increase network traffic.
is there a way I can proxify my application's connection to the internet??I came accross System.Net.WebProxy. Here is what I have with it so far:
Dim pr As New System.Net.WebProxy(proxy)Can I set the value of proxy to equal something like 127.0.1.2:80 or do I need to split it into the address and port?Also how do I force my application to connect to the internet through that proxy? Because this is ithe part that is really baffeling me.
