Getting a console server to do more then connect

[bigjoe11a]

What II have is a small server that I been playing a round with. It's just that I can connect to it and that's about it. I been trying to do is get it so I can log and go to a menu and well doesn't look like I can get my answer from some of the other places. So I thought I would try here. Can some one please help me set this up. the code is below. static void Main(string[] args) { int recv; byte[] data = new byte[1024]; IPEndPoint ipep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 1605); Socket newsock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); newsock.Bind(ipep); newsock.Listen(10); Console.WriteLine("Waiting for a client..."); Socket client = newsock.Accept(); IPEndPoint clientep = (IPEndPoint)client.RemoteEndPoint; Console.WriteLine("Connected with {0} at port {1}", clientep.Address, clientep.Port); string welcome = "Welcome to my TCP server (© 2008)"; data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(welcome); client.Send(data, data.Length, SocketFlags.None); do { string menu = "L)ogin Q)uit V)iew Log"; data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(menu); client.Send(data, data.Length, SocketFlags.None); string choice = "Command : "; data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(choice); client.Send(data, data.Length, SocketFlags.None); switch (choice.ToUpper()) { case "Q": break; case "L": Login(); break; case "V": break; default: string NotThere = "Wrong Choice"; data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(NotThere); client.Send(data, data.Length, SocketFlags.None); break; } } while (choice != "Q"); while (true) { data = new byte[1024]; recv = client.Receive(data); if (recv == 0) break; Console.WriteLine(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, recv)); client.Send(data, recv, SocketFlags.None); } Con

Would you please rephrase this, what are you trying to do?

[bigjoe11a]

What I want to do. Is log in and have a menu with choices. The only thing I could do with this server is connect and thats it. I wanted en option that when I connected to the server. I could log in and it would take me to a menu. Then I could do some thing or log off. Sorry I been up late nights so my typing may not be all that great. Joe

Your menu would have to be on your client and then your client would forward the command to your server.

[bigjoe11a]

Ok, so would you need my client source code to show me how to do that or what do you need.

[ScottM1]

No, I've already told you what to do. Try it and let me know where you have problems.

LOL. Right. If I new how to do that I wouldn't have posted a message asking for help.
