Hi guys,
I need your help. I am working on the client-server on my application and I am unsure which one of those method that I should use for the chat server.
When I tried this:
Code:
Dim port As Int32 = 13000
Dim localAddr As IPAddress = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1")
server = New TcpListener(localAddr, port)
' Start listening for client requests.
server.Start()
Try
MessageBox.Show("connected!")
Catch ex As Exception
'reconnect to the server
End Try
And also when I tried this:
Code:
Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream
clientSocket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 13000)
If clientSocket.Connected Then
MessageBox.Show("connected!")
Else
'reconnect to the server
End If
I found that both of these methods are the same, I can connect to the server when I use either of them. Please can you tell me which one of them is the easy way and which one of them that I should use to connect to the server, send message...etc?
Thanks in advance
