----------------------------------- w00rm Fri Apr 09, 2004 9:42 pm Network Program ----------------------------------- I am wanting to make a server/client program that can send messages back and forth. I don't know whether to use winsock or what? any help would be appreciated. ----------------------------------- wtd Fri Apr 09, 2004 11:17 pm ----------------------------------- Does the rets of the project require VB, because there are far easier languages for doing networking. ----------------------------------- rdrake Sun Apr 11, 2004 11:02 am ----------------------------------- Winsock would be the easiest way to go. www.winsockvb.com www.vbip.com ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:27 pm ----------------------------------- i can send u sample code for chatclient i made... oh memories(my unfinished trojan proggy =( ) ----------------------------------- Acid Wed Apr 14, 2004 9:14 am ----------------------------------- I tried making a program using the winsock control, but it won't work on the computers without VB after I compile it...something about winsock.ocx or some file like that... Actually, it won't work on any computers yet. I didn't finish it. ----------------------------------- Brightguy Wed Apr 14, 2004 4:37 pm Re: Network Program ----------------------------------- Place winsock.ocx in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. ----------------------------------- w00rm Sat Apr 17, 2004 2:32 pm ----------------------------------- Hey Homer, send it to admin@derproductions.com ----------------------------------- recneps Mon Apr 19, 2004 6:35 pm ----------------------------------- easiest way to make sure it works on anyone's comp is use the Package and Deployment Wizard its part of the "additional goodies" that come with VB. What that does is make a setup prog, just like when you install any other program, and it includes a cab file containing everything to install, so do that, then zip the setup.exe and the cab file together (sadly the winsock ocx is like 3mb so itll be pretty big) otherwise just send people your exe and if they get the error send them the cab/setup thing.
