Why broadcasting? Multicast is the way to go - has less overhead and more efficient since only the clients who actually want the cast will receive it.
Broadcasting is like shouting at everyone in a room when you only want to attract the attention of a few.

You should purchase a book about networking programming vb.net at amazon.com or try to check the result[^] from google.

Look on CodeProject for some articles about DShowNET, this is a wrapper around some of the DirectX stuff which may be able to help you.

Hi all,
I have a problem using multithread application with vb.net .
I am opening a thread ,inside that thread i am calling third party DLL function . but that function internally opening child threads . whenever I am aborting the main thread , child thread is not aborting . is that any function to close the main as well as child thread.

Not unless you are getting a handle on those internal child threads and can then call abort on them.
Seems to me that those internal threads should have been created with the background attribute set or the library should provide you with a method to call to close them down.

Are you sure the DLL is spawning threads? If that were the case, destroying the main thread should kill all other threads created by it.
Most likely the DLL is spawning a new process which runs independently of your main code and hence it will not terminate when your main thread terminates. In this case you'll need to manually kill the spawned processes as already described in the previous post.

I was wondering if there is anyway to change just a group box line color. I want to have a group box with a transparent background but I want the boxs' border line to be orange. Someone, Anyone, please help me out with this one. Thank you in advance for your replies!!!

There's no property you can change to get the GroupBox lines to draw in a different color. You'll have to create your own GroupBox control, inheriting from the normal GroupBox class, and supply your own drawing code to draw the GroupBox. Considering the effort involved, is the color of that line really worth it?

I seek an internal end of module to a program which is used to block this program during a time of use. Can somebody give some to me?
Thanks

This doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. You're looking for code to do what?

Hello,
I tried to search 'the net', but all i can find is C++ code. I don't understand C++, so you know. I need to disable my Secondairy Master/Slave (which are my DVD and CD drive). Could someone give me a hint? Or perhaps a little code, my tagret is to disable and enable my Cd-rom drives with just executing my program.
Much appreciated!

I recently bought a MSDN Visual Studio 2005 Professional Subscription and I am trying to learn VB.NET, specifically how to do use the ADO.NET stuff for database operations.
I have bought a reference book titled “Beginning VB.NET 2003” and I’m trying out this example:
'Import Data and SqlClient namespaces
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim objConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local);database=pubs;user id=sa;password=")
Dim objDataAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter()
Dim objDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet()
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Set the SelectCommand properties...
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand()
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection = objConnection
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = _
"SELECT au_lname, au_fname, title, price " & _
"FROM authors " & _
"JOIN titleauthor on authors.au_id = titleauthor.au_id " & _
"JOIN titles ON titleauthor.title_id = titles.title_id " & _
"ORDER BY au_lname, au_fname"
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
'Open the database connection...
objConnection.Open()
'Fill the DataSet object with data...
objDataAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "authors")
'Close the database connection
objConnection.Close()
'Set the DataGrid properties to bind it to our data...
grdAuthorTitles.DataSource = objDataSet
grdAuthorTitles.DataMember = "authors"
'Cleanup
objDataAdapter = Nothing
objConnection = Nothing
End Sub
End Class
I’m getting an error on this line:
Dim objConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local);database=pubs;user id=sa;password=")
The SqlConnection statement after the New is giving me the error “Type ‘SqlConnection’ is not defined.”
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? The contructor for the data operations are imported at the beginning of the project. I have no idea what is wrong, or how to correct it.
Thank you,
Quecumber256

The namespace imported is correct so you might want to check whether the project has a reference to System.Data (System.Data.dll). If there is none, just add a reference to it by going to Project > Add Reference (if you are using Visual Studio) and choose System.Data or System.Data.SqlClient.
Or, if it still doesn't work, try typing the fullname of SqlConnection class (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection) instead.
Hope that helps.

Hi Edbert,
Doesn't the Imports System.Data and Imports System.Data.SqlClient take care of this for you? The code I included in the question is exactly like that in the Beginning VB.NET 2003 referance book. There where no instructions in the 'Try-it-out' to add such a referance.
Thank you,
Quecumber256

Did you use the VS2003 provided by the book?
It might be that the VS2003 version is an older one, therefore you might want to try System.Data.Sql instead of System.Data.SqlClient.
I'm quite sure it's a namespace problem, so check that you have added the correct references and imported the correct namespace (use the intellisense).
Otherwise, try Resharper[^]. It usually finds the correct class and namespace for you to use.
