Hi Ppl, I have a small question. Is it possible to use sendto to send entire structs / arrays with a few commands? Right now i have a function to create one long string and an other one to make it back to an array but this kind of in efficient and the data u can send is pretty limited. Can anyone tell me how to send data in an efficient way? Kind regards , Jacco

Any idea how i can fix this ? Greetings , Jacco

Yo Mik, Tnx a lot for you're answer. I have read some tuts on threading but they are not really clear to me. If u have time and u know one please tell me :). I'm not in a big hurry so ...... Again tnx.

I have a question. Right now i have made a server. It works just fine but there is a problem. I need to push a button in order to recieve data. I would like suggestions (and examples) how i can create a server wich regularly (always?) listens if data is sendt. Can anyone help me with this?

I have build a server application with Sockets. My question is simple. Is it possible to see how many and what clients are connected? If yes then how? Kind Regards , Jacco

I ow u one Tnx a lot :D

I guess this means its a prob on the server. Here is the server code. private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { sokje = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream , ProtocolType.Tcp); IPHostEntry ipHostInfo = Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName()); IPAddress ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0]; localEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 11000); sokje.Bind(localEndPoint); sokje.Listen(5); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { sender = new IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(IPAddress.Any.ToString()).AddressList[0] , 11000); EndPoint senderRemote = (EndPoint)sender clSocket = sokje.Accept(); int ontvangen; //sokje.Bind(localEndPoint); byte[] data = new Byte[256]; ontvangen = sokje.Receive(data); } I'm really sorry but i dont understand most of the explanation. Could u give a hint what to place where? Because i onestly dont know Kind Regards, Jacco

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("This is a test"); sokje.SendTo(data, eindPunt); } This is the code i use for sending data to the server. This goes without an error (Though im not shure if its correct so comment is welcome). /* IPHostEntry survur = Dns.GetHostEntry("Jacco"); sokje.Connect(survur.AddressList[0],11000); eindPunt = new IPEndPoint(survur.AddressList[0] , 11000); */ private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { sokje.Listen(5); sender = new IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(IPAddress.Any.ToString()).AddressList[0] , 11000); EndPoint senderRemote = (EndPoint)sender; int ontvangen; //sokje.Bind(localEndPoint); byte[] data = new Byte[256]; ontvangen = Convert.ToInt16(sokje.Receive(data)); } This is the code i use to recieve messages. This gives me this error : An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in System.dll With the following comment : Socket is not connected and sender has not given an adress The purpose of the program : It doesn't really have a purpose yet. Im just expirimenting with c# a bit. For the future i plan on creating some gaming stuff (poker or so) freeware offcourse. My question : Can someone explain to me why this is not working and the way im supposed to make it? i started networking only 1 week a go so i would preffer a (relative) easy explanation. Kind regards Jacco
