Username problems[Resolved]

server code:

VB Code:

Private Sub socket_DataArrival(Index As Integer, ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
 
Dim strData As String
Dim strData2() As String
Dim Users() As String
Dim word1 As String
Dim word2 As String
On Error Resume Next
 
    
 
    Socket(Index).GetData strData
    
    strData2 = Split(strData, "/")
    
    word1 = strData2(0)
    word2 = strData2(1)
    
    If word1 = "name" Then
    
    Users(Index) = word2
    
    txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & vbCrLf & "User " & Users(Index) & " Connected with ip " & Socket(Index).RemoteHostIP
 
    txtMain.SelStart = Len(txtMain.Text)
 
    
    Else
    
    strData = Users(Index) & ": " & strData
 
    txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & vbCrLf & strData
 
    txtMain.SelStart = Len(txtMain.Text)
    
    Dim i As Integer
    
        For i = 1 To Socket.Count
         
             If Socket(i).State = sckConnected Then
 
              Socket(i).SendData strData
 
              DoEvents
    
             End If
         
        Next i
    End If

Client code:

VB Code:

Private Sub Winsock_Connect()
 
    ' we are connected!
 
    lbl1.Caption = "Connected"
    txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & vbCrLf & "Connected to " & Winsock.RemoteHostIP & " on port 1007"
    
    Winsock.SendData "name/" & USRName
    
    DoEvents
    
End Sub

this code is supposed to set a username for each socket, for a chat
when the client connects, it send name/(the username) and when the server recieves data starting with name/ it sets the username in an array with the same index as the socket. when i run the program, and connect to myself, it doesn't set a name. whenever i send a message it is just the message with no username. someone help please, thanks.

edit: ignore the weird indentations in the code, it was a copy/paste problem
edit2: upon taking out the on error resume next line of code, and moving the dim Users() as string to the top of the code and not in this event, i recieved the error: "Subscript out of range"

1. First of all remove On Error Resume Next
2. You have defined Users as a dynamic Array, and i can't see any Redim Statement which creates that array...


My Suggestion
If you want to associate a username with a specific Socket.....i would recommend that you use the Tag property of Winsock control...

Ok, i will use tag, thanks
