[Server question] - 08-25-2008

Hello,

I was wondering how to let more then one client connect witht he server using TCP.
Here is what I have right now.

Server
Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text
Module Module1
    Private Const port As Integer = 3724
    Private Const MAX_SLOTS As Integer = 20

    Sub Main()
        Dim tcpServer As New TcpListener(port)
        Dim stream As NetworkStream
        tcpServer.Start()
        Console.WriteLine("Server started.")
        Console.WriteLine("Waiting for connections...")
        Dim tcpUser As TcpClient
        Try
            tcpUser = tcpServer.AcceptTcpClient()
            stream = tcpUser.GetStream()
            Console.WriteLine("Connection accepted.")


            Dim bytesText(tcpUser.ReceiveBufferSize) As Byte
            Dim strText As String
            Dim i As Integer = 0

            While True
                stream.Read(bytesText, 0, tcpUser.ReceiveBufferSize)
                strText = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytesText)
                Console.WriteLine(strText)
                strText = Nothing
                i = i + 1
                Console.SetCursorPosition(0, 3 + i)
            End While
            tcpUser.Close()
            tcpServer.Stop()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine("Fail to recieve from client. " & ex.Message)
            Console.ReadLine()
            Main()
        End Try
    End Sub

End Module
client
Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text

Public Class Form1
    Private tcpUser As New TcpClient
    Private stream As NetworkStream
    Private bytesText As [Byte]()

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Try
            tcpUser.Connect("127.0.0.1", 3724)
            tcpUser.GetStream()
            stream = tcpUser.GetStream()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Unable to connect. " & ex.Message, "Error")
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub cmdSend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSend.Click
        bytesText = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(txtMessage.Text)
        stream.Write(bytesText, 0, bytesText.Length)
    End Sub
End Class

What I do in VB6, is that I load a new instance of another winsock control when I get a connection to the first winsock control and then I accept the request on the later one.

I think you could do something similar in VB .NET?

Actually, winsock doesn't exist in vb.net, but you CAN still do a number of things to do requests (namely webrequest and webresponse). I'd say your principle is right, though. Just create another when one gets connected to.

That's what I meant, for him to use the principle with whatever works in .NET
