Hey,
I am looking for help in solving a problem I have.

I have a code for client server application taken from the visual studio 2008 help. The thing is it is written in VB6 and I have been working for hours now trying to make the adjustments so it would work but still havn't been successful. I started thinking about leaving VB and just write everything in python.

Before giving up, I decided to try and get help in here.

The specific problem is that pressing the connect button in the client's form doesn't seem to have any result.
---------------------------------------
server 's code:

Public Class frmServer
Private Sub frmServer_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
' Set the LocalPort property to an integer.
' Then invoke the Listen method.
tcpServer.LocalPort = 8000
tcpServer.Listen()
frmClient.Show() ' Show the client form.
End Sub
Private Sub tcpServer_ConnectionRequest _
(ByVal requestID As Long)
MsgBox("333")
' Check if the control's State is closed. If not,
' close the connection before accepting the new
' connection.
If tcpServer.CtlState <> "8" Then _
tcpServer.Close()
' Accept the request with the requestID
' parameter.
tcpServer.Accept(requestID)
End Sub

Private Sub txtSendData_Change()
MsgBox("444")
' The TextBox control named txtSendData
' contains the data to be sent. Whenever the user
' types into the textbox, the string is sent
' using the SendData method.
tcpServer.SendData(txtSendData.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub tcpServer_DataArrival _
(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
MsgBox("555")
' Declare a variable for the incoming data.
' Invoke the GetData method and set the Text
' property of a TextBox named txtOutput to
' the data.
Dim strData As String
strData = String.Empty
tcpServer.GetData(strData)
txtOutput.Text = strData
End Sub
End Class
---------------------------------------------------
client's code:

Public Class frmClient
Private Sub frmClient_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
' The name of the Winsock control is tcpClient.
' Note: to specify a remote host, you can use
' either the IP address (ex: "121.111.1.1") or
' the computer's "friendly" name, as shown here. f45d87107
' tcpClient.RemoteHost = "192.168.2.201"
tcpClient.RemoteHost = "127.0.0.1"
tcpClient.RemotePort = 8000
End Sub

Private Sub cmdConnect_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdConnect.Click
' Invoke the Connect method to initiate a connection.
'tcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 1001)
tcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8000)
MsgBox("000")
End Sub

Private Sub txtSend_Change()
MsgBox("111")
tcpClient.SendData(txtSend.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub tcpClient_DataArrival _
(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
MsgBox("222")
Dim strData As String
strData = String.Empty
tcpClient.GetData(strData)
txtOutput.Text = strData
End Sub

End Class
-----------------------------------

I would highly appreciate any help,

Hey,

many thanks for the quick reply but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

For socket application in .Net I suggest you use the TcpClient and TcpListener classes found in System.Net.Sockets namespace.

__________________

Uhh check out
System.Net Namespace ()

TcpListener Class
TcpListener Class (System.Net.Sockets)

TcpClient Class
TcpClient Class (System.Net.Sockets)

those should help you..

a thusands thanks for the replyers.

But, it seems that the source of my problem is trying to use vb6 code in .vb application (visual studio 2008).

So I downloaded a code written in .VB and I'll see if I can get it work.

rgds,
