Basically, I have an app that communicates with a server. I need a way to monitor all the sent and received packets that are being transmitted through the app. I've been killing myself the past two days trying to figure a way to hook into ws2_32.dll to monitor these packets but I can't find a way!

I'm not sure if this is where I should post as to this is my first time on these forums. But, I am creating something that communicates to a server, and on the server part it's giving me troubles, and I am confused on how to fix it. I did rip the code off some where online.The line that I am getting the error "Warning2'Public Sub New(port As Integer)' is obsolete: 'This method has been deprecated. Please use TcpListener(IPAddress localaddr, int port) instead.[URL].. on is this line:
Dim tcpListener As New TcpListener(portNumber)

I am hoping to get some advice on a project that I am wanting to work on. I have never done a web service/windows service or anything along the lines of what I am thinking so I would like some advice from some more experienced developers.I will be using VS2008 and VB.NET. My company currently mostly works in .NET 2.0 for our commercial application, but since this will be used mostly in house I would be able to use .NET 3.5 if suggested (am just not overly familiar with the additional features in .NET 3.5).What I would like is to have a server/service that communicates with multiple PCs. I want to create an application/web page (not familiar with web development so would probably start out as a winform app and possibly move to a web app to consume the service) that would query the web service/remoting service/whatever to retrieve information from each of the PCs (track the version of the application that is running, retrieve log files, push an update program to the PC (to be run manually)).
Not being too familiar with this type of scenario I was thinking something to the effect of:Each PC run a Windows Service that monitored the local PC. When something changes (software update installed?), tell the web service that the new version is installed.A service (web service? remoting server? other?) running on a PC that would be the interface to the windows service (not sure how the web service would talk to the Windows service without the Windows service initiating, though, unless it is also running a server) on the individual PCs. The service could request an update from the PCs (get the software version, request a file). The service would also be able to push an update program to the PCs to be run manually.
I am trying to write an app that communicates with a server that was written in C. Not knowing C at all so i have some problems understanding the messages in c-style struct format that i need to send from the vb.net side.

In my application, I've built an object that communicates with an OPC server and whenever the value of a certain OPC item changes, it logs all the OPC items to a database. This all works beautifully. However, I'm having a problem with disposing of the instances of this class. Whenever I want to remove an instance of this class from the application, I'm dereferencing the object (objDevice = Nothing) and letting GC take care of the rest. I've inserted breakpoints and am monitoring to ensure that the object is dereferenced (it is).
Problem is, even after the object has been dereferenced and is CONFIRMED to be equal to Nothing, the object is still logging data to the database. I'm still trying to get a handle on disposing of objects properly, but most everything I read tells me to dereference and let Garbage Collection take over.
I want to make a program that can communicate with other programs, Like a tcpserver/client.But i don't know where to start. I want the user to be able to submit several urls to pictures on the internet and for other users to be able to view those pictures. How can I do this?
View 1 RepliesI Have a problem with vb.net. Basically I created an application that communicates via system.net.socket. on the server side of client connect, and a thread checks whether there are new incoming data. if there are data, puts them in a few tread declared variables, together with the "index" of the server. once this is done through "INVOKE" calls a routine that checks the incoming data andperforms an operation based on the data. I'll see what I do not work
Dim returndata As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data)
TextBox1.Text = ("DATA : " & returndata & "Socketindex =" & socketindex.ToString & " Index=" & index.ToString)
But that does not appear in the texbox, appears only "returndata", the rest c 'is same thing with the messagebox, individually, can display a messagebox with variable,but when I try to make a messagebox that displays them together, the texbox same thing!
And the same thing if I want to compare them with each other, for example
if index
= 0 then msgbox ("OK")
It does not work ...

View 1 RepliesI have been working on a project for some time now and I am stuck. I am trying to sense when a navigation software speaks so i can mute the volume of everything else on the computer.
my problem is that i cant properly sense the audio of the software. i am using windows 7 and vb.net. i have done a good amount of research, but i have not come up with an answer.
i am almost positive that i need to intercept the win32api call of the software to trigger the mute that i will use. i dont know how to do this, all the information i can find that is even close to this subject is for 98, nt and 2k.
does anyone know of any books (or websites) that contain information on this subject?

Is there a way in vb.net to subclass/hooking in to any controls scroll bar and change it is colours etc (I saw this once in C++ but lost it). It�s ok for MS giving us user owner drawn controls, or at the very least allowing us to draw the controls information but it looks dam write awful if the scroll bar does not fit into the GUI.

View 1 RepliesI am not very familiar with VB.NET so I don't know if this is possible.Some code I am working on is setting the properties of a very large class. In the setter of each property an event is raised to indicate that the class data has changed. An event handler then serializes the instance of the class to a database.Obviously I do not want this to happen after each property is set, so I need to either have a delay before saving, or something else.I am keeping a large list of instances in a cache implementation already, so one option would be to only process the cache every now and then and save all unsaved instances in cache to the database.So I tried to see if I could derive a class from Application (and override DoEvents), but it is NotInheritable, so no luck there.

I currently have software that sends out plain text(i.e. 'X') to comm 1 port and was wondering if there was any way to capture that plain text and also respond to that port on the same compute as the port without having anything plugged into the machine (i.e. 9 pin serial cable). I am trying to avoid buy any more hardware as this is an objective to acutally cut down on hardware.
