I've come from the VB 6.0 world where, when I wanted to make a client/server
applet, I'd use the built-in Winsock ActiveX control. Now I'm trying to move
on to Visual Basic .Net (if that is, indeed, what comes with Visual Studio
2005). I've noticed that there isn't a corresponding Winsock-like control
for creating network applets that use non-standard TCP/IP-based protocols
(such as HTTP or FTP). So my question is simply how do I create a
client/server application which uses a custom TCP/IP-based protocol? Or is
that simply not the way developers do things these days....

I think you will find a much more robust library that what we had in VB 6 in
the System.Net.Sock ets namespace.
There are examples all over the web from complex to mundane.

Take a look at System.Net Namespace. The socket classes (HTTP, TCP, SMTP)
are in there. FTP and other protocols will require custom code (i.e. manual
socket parsing) or a 3rd party component.
Or you could us WCF, Remoting, or Web Services. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello,
I'm in the design stage of an application that will consist of two or more processes that will be either on different computers in a network or on the same computer and will have to communicate with each other. I don't have much experience with networking, inter-process communication or client-server architectures, and I'm wondering what is the best way to do it.
These are the basic functions that need to be:

Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question regarding access to a file from disparate

where CHAR_BIT is one value (let's use the value of 10) and then
reading said file from a system where this value is different (let's
say the common value of 8)?
I'm just curious how this would play out with respect to the standards,
etc. So for example, if I have a system where...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
