Hi!
I have created two applications communicating over sockets, one being the client and the other being a server. I want someone to tell me how I can control the client from the server.
Please tell me where and how to start.
Thanks in advance!
this is server code
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.IO
Public Class broadcast
Private conn As Socket
Private readthread As Thread
Private socketstream As NetworkStream
Private writer As BinaryWriter
Dim c As String
Private reader As BinaryReader
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
readthread = New Thread(AddressOf RunServer)
readthread.Start()
End Sub
Public Sub RunServer()
Dim listener As New TcpListener(5234)
Dim counter As Integer = 1
Try
listener.Start()
While True
Dim b As String
b = "C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\Wildlife.wmv" '
conn = listener.AcceptSocket
socketstream = New NetworkStream(conn)
writer = New BinaryWriter(socketstream)
reader = New BinaryReader(socketstream)
Dim theReplay As String = ""
Select Case c 'here i need to control the clinet play,pause,mute....etc but this select statment did'nt worked
Case "play"
frmMain.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play()
End Select
Try
writer.Write(b)
writer.Write(c)
'Catch inputputputexception As IOException
Catch inputputputexception As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Clinet application closing")
Finally
writer.Close()
reader.Close()
socketstream.Close()
conn.Close()
counter += 1
End Try
End While
Catch inpitoutputException As IOException
MessageBox.Show("Server application Closing")
End Try
End Sub
End Classthis is clinet code
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Threading
Public Class recieve
Private output As NetworkStream
Private reader As BinaryReader
Private writer As BinaryWriter
Private message As String = ""
Private readthred As Thread
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
readthred = New Thread(AddressOf runClinet)
readthred.Start()
End Sub
Public Sub runClinet()
Dim clinet As TcpClient
Try
clinet = New TcpClient()
clinet.Connect("127.0.0.1", 5234)
output = clinet.GetStream()
writer = New BinaryWriter(output)
reader = New BinaryReader(output)
Try
Dim r As String
message = reader.ReadString' Here must recive the video and action of the controls
frmMain.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = message
frmMain.Playlist.Items.Add(message)
MessageBox.Show(message & ":" & frmMain.Playlist.Items.Count)
Catch inputoutputException As IOException
MessageBox.Show("Clinet application Closing")
Finally
writer.Close()
reader.Close()
output.Close()
clinet.Close()
End Try
Catch inputoutputException As IOException
MessageBox.Show("Clinet application Close")
End Try
End Sub
End Class
