    [Given up]Connecting To A Server

    I'm useing vbe.net 2005 anyways I have no idea how you connect to a server but when I search all I can find is MySQL things, is this what I want? What I want to do is be able to send and recieve the protocol so would MySql thing be right for this and if not what would be?

    Define "send and receive the protocol." That seems quite vague.

    MySQL is a database. It's what you would connect to, not connect using.

    Re: Connecting To A Server

    Well I have no idea what I'm talking about, by send and receive protocol I mean connect to a server keep the connection open, then be able to send things and receive what it responds with..Just a basic connection, send and recieve no password or username things does that make any sense? I dont want the code to do this, just want to know what this kind of thing is called so I can google it ^_^

    Sound alot like sockets. If you're using VB.Net, there's a control called TCPListener that will listen to packets coming across on specific ports. It can also send packets back, but the problem lies in deciphering the content.

    I won't go on too far until I know which language you're using.

    I meant computer language, but I just reread your pot and it looks like you're after a tool; not necessarily the code. Am I right?

    ---Edit----------------------
    And I reread your initial post and it said VB 2005 .Net
    Sorry, I am just not paying attentio at all today....

    I have Visual Studio 2005 Pro at home ('m at work, we only have 03 here). I'll play with it and see if I can get something for you to look at.

    Re: Connecting To A Server

    Oh yeah whats the difference between studio and the express? the same commands would work for VBE.NET right? Did this tutorial somehow made an error when I was copying down what the guy was on the video and its funny in his it shows it without all this html stuff and on my mine it does, then ontop of that the crap doesnt even work for what I want it to.. I give up thanks for your replys though
