I'm trying to update an application from vb6 to vb.net. The orig app used the winsock control. Unfortunately I can't nor do I want to use it in the re-write. Are there any decent public classes with events that wrap the Socket class?
View 1 RepliesI am using VB 06 code for MS winsock and no im not supprised its not working properly but I cant find any tutorials anyware for VB 08 and its starting to anoy me. I have managed to reorginise some of the code so it works but im at a loss to know what to do to correct these errors. .

sckmain.SendData("[" & txtname.Text & "]" & txtsend.Text)
txtlog = txtlog.Text & "[" & txtname & "]" & txtsend.Text & vbCrLf

I have an application in vb.net which will connect with an hardware device and test its functionality. The hardware device basically spits out data continuosly through Ethernet. That is it recieves some data via com ports and spits out the processed data via ethernet.So my application does both. Thats pretty much the entire app.My problem is i am using tcpclient sockets. Now when i connect a tcpclient to the device using
tcpclient.open(ip,port);
Immediately the device sends some data which comes and get stored in the clientsocket. Then i send a command to it ,only then i read the data from the clientsocket using
tcpclient.getstream().read()
at this time the entire data that is the one which flowed immediately when connected to the device and the one that i actually need after passing command is both acquired. This is undesirable. I need the data which i read only after sending the command. So i was wondering if there is any way to clear the tcpclient socket before we do a read. The manual doesnt show any such method.
Recently I was handling a TCP/IP server-client window-based program in VB.NET. But in VB.NET. after I include the winsock on it, it cannot check the state. Normally, in VB6, to check the state is as below: If

I have written some code to check if a port is open. I'm currently trying to work with the system.net.sockets name space.I know that the easy way out would be to use AxWinsock, but I don't think the AxWinSock is very cool, nor do I think it's very professional when trying to make network applications in VB.NET.
I've got this Error message : Socket Exception Was unhandled, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:1 IDK, Like I said, I'm new to the System.net.sockets namespace, I'm pretty good with other stuff in VB.NET, but when it comes to the serious stuff like the system.net.sockets namespace, I'm not so great.look at this code and tell me what I am doing wrong, I've manged to get this far, and I don't want to just give up and continue watching my movie.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get a VB2008 multi thread application working that connects to a local server program using sockets. Server requests for this particular system can be more quickly handled by a number of connections, so I've written some code to run any number of data request threads that I choose. The problem that I'm having is that the data returned from the server is getting mixed up and is often returned to a different thread/socket than the one that requested it. Other than that, it seems to work okay. If I use just one thread, then the system works as it should. Pls. see incuded code, which is heavily edited to remove all the other fruit salad. Is there any way to set up the sockets so that data returned to the socket/thread that requested it?

Ive been trying to get this tcp server to work it uses winsock, I can connect to the server fine but as soon as i send a messege It errors with this messege Unable to determine size of incomming packet. It's possible you may need to use Legacy SupportWinsock_Orcas.AsyncSocket.ReceiveCallbackWhat does this mean?note: vb isnt making this error the program itself is, a link to the project is:I think error might be the cause of all the failures of Tcp servers i have tried how it would only recieve

Info about my computer:

i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
i have added a winsock control to my program. I know that vb 2008 dosent really support winsock no more but its needed for my project.Anyways i have form1 with a button that does "form2.show"This works as it should and opens form2 but when i add a winsock control to form2 then i get this error when i click the button to show form2
"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))"
I dont get it, there are no classes apart from the form class.

I have a program that writes unhandled exception detail to a log file stored in the same directory as the program itself. I am wondering how I can have keep the file in the same location, and not have to worry about a file write access. With Vistas User Access Control enabled, the file is not accessible unless the program is run as an administrator, which I don't need it to be for anything else. The file does not exist all of the time, it only exists after an error occurs. Users are encouraged to email the file to me and then delete the file. Thus the file should only exist if their is a error that the user has not emailed. I really want to keep it in the same directory as the program itself, or within a subdirectory of the programs directory, since the portable version is exactly the same program executable and I would like to keep it that way. I am not sure how to go about setting the file security, set it when I create the file if the file doesn't exist, prompting for Administrator privileges to create it with the security. I was also thinking that I could just set the entire folder containing the program executable when it is installed, and then it would be able to create the file without having to have administrator privileges.
