hey all, im attempting to make my pocketpc into a remote control for my desktop pc through the network.
what i want to do is have a windows service that listens for connections through a tcplistener and recieves commands then executes some code according to what the command is. i would like the server to stay connected to the client the whole time so that it can recieve more than one command.
the problem is that i really don't know enough about tcplistener or the way that sockets works in vb.net to be able to do this.
why can't it be as easy as winsock was in visual basic 6!!
could someone please enlighten me on this matter and possibly post some source code so that i have something to go by?
my email is curseddagger@hotmail.com if you want to talk to me on msn about it.
thank you in advance
Regards
James

Perhaps Winsock.NET[^] might do you some good. If not, Google for "VB.NET sockets tutorial".

i didn't know that there was a winsock in .NET, thankyou.
i have spent many hours trying to find a descent tutorial for .net sockets and cannot come up with one.
i really would like to learn how to use sockets so if you know of a good tutorial, please point me to it 
|

I haven't had the need to search for one. But since sockets is such a LARGE topic, there's not going to be any one tutorial that covers all applications for sockets, and possibly not yours.
I would suggest picking up a book on sockets, such as Network programming in .NET : C# & Visual Basic .NET[^]

That winsock control was absolutely fantastic but how do i use it with Pocket PC? when i add the control to my toolbox in a smartdevice application it shows up as disabled and i cannot add if to my form.
your help is much appreciated

No idea. I don't really do any Pocket PC development.
It's entirely possible that the library won't work with the .NET Compact Framework because the CF doesn't support the full set of classes, and doesn't support all the methods and properties of the classes it does support.

My company, has a network domain name for the LAN,
Just named "abc-asia".
How can I get this domain name in VB.NET?
I found no method in Environment object.
Please help, and Thanks.

Environment.UserDomainName isn't giving you what you want? If the logged on user is in the domain, it'll show...
...Unless the machine is not yet in the domain??? More specific details about your situation would help.

I agree with you, RageInTheMachine9532, but this system constant will not work with systems using Win98 or lower...
|

I am going to design a application for three offices,
Difference office has its own domain name,
For example, "abc-asia", "def-asia", "xyz-asia".
I means my login name would be "abc-asia\cylix2000".
I would like to get these three domain names.
Environment.UserDomainName return me cylix2000,
just the same with Environment.Username.
My office use Win2K/WinXP.
Thank you for help!

Why didn't you say this in the first place?
You can find some code to enumerate the domains from this[^] page, here on CP. About half way down the page, under the heading System.Net.IPAddress, there is code to enumerate the domains, but you'll have to pick it out of some extra code to enumerate all the machines in those domains too.

Hallo
i have a VB6 application, from which i'd need to launch a VB .NET form application (not command-line) passing it a value. Something similar to the POST/GET arrays in HTTP.
Any way to achieve this?
Thanks and happy new year to everybody!

Make your VB.NET app accept variables on the command line, then use ShellExecute, or whatever passes for that in VB6, to run it.

Do you want it to start when Windows starts? Then you have to write your app as a service.
If you want to start this app when the user logs on, then you need to launch it from either the Startup folder found at either:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or you can launch it from the registry key found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and create a REG_SZ value with the full path to the .EXE and its command line parameters.

If you've never been in RegEdit, I suggest Googling for "RegEdit Tutorial" before you start messing with it in code.

You can get most of the source back by using .NET Reflector[^] on the EXE file. You'll have to piece the project back together from the source code it reveals.

You can try Reflector[^]. It converts .net exe and dll back to C# or VB code.
And next time, do yourself a favor by making lots of backups!

Is there any opposite keyword for the "extern (C#)" keyword in VB.NET?

In VB.NET, Declare is the same as extern in C#.
There is no opposite to delaring something "extern".

i use the user32 to set a bmp as desktop wallpaper,
but at runtime nothing happen...no exceptions, no
error and no wallpaper is set and the current
wallpaper remains.
as the MSDN i create this class:
***************************************
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class user32
Public Shared SPIF_SENDCHANGE As Integer = 2
Public Shared SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPRER As Integer = 20
<dllimport("user32.dll", charset:="CharSet.Auto)"> _
Public Shared Sub SystemParametersInfo _
(ByVal uAction As Integer, ByVal uParam As Integer, _
ByVal ipvParm As String, ByVal fuWinIni As Integer)
End Sub
End Class
***************************************
and i call it from another class like this:
***************************************
Dim SPIF_SENDCHANGE As Integer = 2
Dim SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPRER As Integer = 20
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPRER, 1, BMP_path, SPIF_SENDCHANGE)
****************************************
so can anybody help me did i miss something to use?
should i pass all of the DLLImporter Paramerter?
