[RESOLVED] [2005] Checkbox trouble again...

Hi,

I have trouble with the checkbox I am using chkUseProxy. When I enter the address of the ip which the checkbox is false and when I click the button, it did not connect to the server. They only works when the checkbox is true. Somebody called christopherpm who helped me on my previous thread, I have told him the problem I have got and he got messed up which it is the wrong way round. The checkbox should be false but he made silly error with the checkbox which it is true. I am not really happy with him the way he have done is wasted my time to make another thread again! :mad:


here it the code:

Code:

---

    Private Sub FindServer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FindServer.Click
        If GetHTMLPage("http://www.whatismyip.com" & ProxyAddress.Text, chkUseProxy.Checked, ProxyAddress.Text, IIf(IsNumeric(ProxyPort.Text), ProxyPort.Text, 0), UserName.Text, Password.Text) Is "" Then
            TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text
        Else
            Textbox1.Text = ProxyAddress.Text
        End If
    End Sub


    Public Function GetExternalIP() As String
        Dim IP_URL As String = "http://checkip.dyndns.org"
        Dim strHTML, strIP As String
        Try

            Dim objWebResp As System.Net.WebResponse = objWebReq.GetResponse()
            Dim strmResp As System.IO.Stream = objWebResp.GetResponseStream()
            Dim srResp As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(strmResp, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
            strHTML = srResp.ReadToEnd()
            Dim regexIP As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
            regexIP = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("\b\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}\b")
            strIP = regexIP.Match(strHTML).Value
            Return strIP
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Can't retrieve external IP: " & ex.Message)
            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function

    Public Function GetHTMLPage(ByVal URL As String, Optional ByVal UseProxy As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal ProxyAddress As String = "", Optional ByVal ProxyPort As Integer = 0, Optional ByVal UserName As String = "", Optional ByVal PassWord As String = "", Optional ByVal Domain As String = "") As String


        Dim sResult As String = ""
        Try
            Dim objResponse As WebResponse
            Dim objRequest As WebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(URL)

            If UseProxy Then
                Dim oProxy As New WebProxy(ProxyAddress, ProxyPort)
                If Domain <> "" Then
                    oProxy.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(UserName, PassWord, Domain)
                Else
                    oProxy.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(UserName, PassWord)
                End If
                objRequest.Proxy = oProxy
            End If


            objRequest.Method = "GET"
            objRequest.Timeout = 120000 ' 20 sec.
            objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse

            Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)

            sResult = sr.ReadToEnd()
            sr.Close()
            ' when code-execution has reached this point without
            ' throwing an error, the html page is loaded which
            ' means all is o.k.
            MessageBox.Show("You are connected Success")
        Catch ex As System.Exception
            MessageBox.Show("You have failed connected")
        End Try
        Return sResult
    End Function

    Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        TextBox1.Text = GetExternalIP()

        If chkUseProxy.Checked = False Then
            ProxyAddress.Enabled = True
            ProxyPort.Enabled = True
        ElseIf chkUseProxy.Checked = True Then
            ProxyAddress.Enabled = False
            ProxyPort.Enabled = False
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub chkUseProxy_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkUseProxy.CheckedChanged
        If chkUseProxy.Checked = False Then
            ProxyPort.Enabled = True
            ProxyAddress.Enabled = True
        ElseIf chkUseProxy.Checked = True Then
            ProxyPort.Enabled = False

        End If
End Sub

I don't want to use the checkbox to be true and connect to the server, I only wants the checkbox to be false which connect to the server. That's the proper way what I wanted.



Hope you can help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark

Code:

---

If UseProxy Then

---

Code:

dont criticise anyone nobody forced you to accept solution given by him :D

Thanks for your quick advise, christopherpm did not use If Not UseProxy as statement. Thanks for your help! :thumb:



I am going to forgive him, he forgot to use that statement. ;)



Anyway, solved! :)
