Advice needed on socket programming...

Hello, C# gurus!

I and my friends are planning to make a socket program just for practice of
C# programming.
It will be made up of a client program and a server program using a specific
tcp port (e.g. 10000).
The client program will send a connection string and a sql statement to the
server program.
(The DB is on the server side, of course)
The server program will return the result set of the sql statement as a form
of either a comma-separated value or something like that.

My question is what is the most common spec of the messages for this
situation.
XML or just customized parsed string or just stream of the dataset object or
whatever?

I have no experience with socket programs.
I know just the basics of sockets.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Sam

On comp.lang.java.programmer we are discussing problems created for Java programs by pop-up blockers (in the thread "showDocument blocked by new microsoft pop-up blocker").

The showDocument method is blocked even if the user clicked a button in a Java program to call showDocument. As a result, a type of user-initiated...

Hi all, I am not sure that I am posting this in the right group but here it goes anyway. I am new to socket programming and I have been searching on the internet to the questions I am about to pose but have been unsuccessful in finding the answers so far. Either because my understanding of sockets isn't where it needs to be or my questions are too basic. My programming environment is Windows XP, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and C#. So here it...

Thanks to everyone that responded to my previous Socket Programming question. Now I have run into some behavior that I don't quite understand. Programming environment. VS.NET 2003, C#, Windows XP.

This class(server) can be started or stopped by calls to the appropriate functions. The server class has...

I read a network programming book (based on framework 1.1) which indicated that you should 'never' use the RecieveTimeout or the SendTimeout 'socket options' on TCP sockets or you may loose data. I now see the socket.RecieveTimeout 'property' in the visual studio 2005 help documentation (framework 2.0) and it has example of it being used with TCP socket. This propery is also listed as 'new in .net 2.0'. 1) is the socket.RecieveTimeout...

Hi! I have a problem programming a simple client-server game, which is called pingpong ;-) The final program will first be started as a server (nr. 2) and then as a client. The client then sends the message "Ping" to the server, which reads it and answers with a "Pong". The game is really simple and the coding should be also very simple! But for me it isn't. By the way, the program uses datagram sockets (UDP). And, I'm using

Hai, I am new to VB.Net programming, directly doing socket programming. In C, I will be able to map the message arrived in a socket directly to a structure. Is this possible in VB.Net. Can anyone please help me with some sample codings and guidance? Can you also suggest some other news group available for socket programming in VB.Net?
