I have created 2 vb.net applications in VS 2002, a server and a client using
the .net.sockets namespace. I can connect and receive data fine but the
client cannot tell when it has recived all the data from the server and close
the file.
I'm sending multiple request for data and I do not want to close the
connecting everytime the entire file has been sent from the server and then
reconnect. I'm sending binary data, is there anyway to tell the client the
size of the file the server is sending?

This is a useful article that may help: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/readbinary.html
In addition, it you are in control of both sides, you could add a size
indicator at the start of the data you send.

So add a piece of binary data at the beginning of the data to send with the
file size?
Does anyone know of a good book for sockets programming in VB.net?

Ok, I've figured this out. Like he said, I added the file size of the file
I'm sending to the front of the binary data being sent. I then strip it out
on the other side and write the rest of the data to a stream until the stream
has reached the size of the file. Works well but you have to remember to set
your buffer sizes correctly when sending and receiving the file so you only
write the data and no extra.

even when I send no data from the PocketPC constant blocks of 1024 with

Hello,
Could someone please explain why the Socket.Send is slow to send to the same
process it sending from. Eg. Process1 calls Socket.Send which sends to the
same IP address and port, the receiver is running within Process1.
If I move the receiver into Process2 then its fast.
Please can someone explain.

Hi,
I have a Java application which runs a server socket on a PC. Various
sensors (using microprocessors) can call it up and each gets its own thread
running the socket connection.
The sensors send in data at random times. This all works OK.
Sometimes one of the sensors fails or goes off-line. How can I tell from
the server end? If they fail I would like to close the link down.

I am writing a small client/server application and in it I want to

for sending strings. I tried to adapt this code so that the client

on the server side (i guess)...
The server starts listening, the client starts sending...
