Translating to VB.net

[Gangreen]

How do you translate this to VB.net? I don't know what to do with 'SocketAdress'

Thanks

   public static void main(String args[]) 
    {
 
        try {
            ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName(ipAdressString);
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {System.out.println("error: cannot find valid ip address");
        }
 
    Port = 12203;
        socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(ipAddress, mohserverPort);
 
        startCommunication();
    }

It looks like socketAddress is declared elswhere in the program. If you are using Visual Studio, right click it and click "Go To Definition." That'll take you to where it is declared.

That's simply a SocketAdress...The code is java. I'd like to know how to make thesame thing in vb.net

 
static private SocketAddress socketAddress;
 
public static void main(String args[]) 
    {
 
        try {
            ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName(ipAdressString);
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {System.out.println("error: cannot find valid ip address");
        }
 
    Port = 12203;
        socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(ipAddress, mohserverPort);
 
        startCommunication();
    }

Try the System.Net.Dns, System.Net.IPAddress or System.Net.IPEndPoint classes.

Although I wouldn't base anything off that code, it looks to be rather poorly constructed. If the ipaddress triggers that exception, it continues to try and use it regardless.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you were trying to port existing code that you were unfamiliar with. Sorry I couldn't help.

[Gangreen]

That IpEndPoint seems to do the trick.

how about java's DatagramPacket ? Is there a VB.net equivalent?

[Plater]

Just create and use a socket set for UDP

Yes, ok, but the datagrampacket....is there a equivalent in vb.net? cause usage of that datagrampacket seems to be quite essential in the java program

[Plater]

Everything is sent as bytes, just convert the datagrampacket to a byte[] and you'll have no problem

Look at the UdpClient class.

[Gangreen]

I'll do that, thanx for the info

[Gangreen]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I have never worked with bytes before.

how do you write this in Vb.net?

Java:
Byte oob = (Byte)0xff

[Plater]

Well that would work in C#, in vb.net the syntax is different.
(Going from java to c# woulda been easier as the syntax is very similar)
I think it's like

Dim oob as byte=0xff

Dim oob As Byte = &HFF

[Gangreen]

could you explain the conversion from 0xff to &HFF for me please?

[Gangreen]

could you explain the conversion from 0xff to &HFF for me please?

Didn't the & stand for adress of, or is &H just the leading code for a byte?

[Plater]

&H in VB must be the same as 0x in all the other languages.
