Client and Server Program - C# Discussion Boards

I'm not sure if this will help with your problem, but here's a link to examples that uses encodings with conversions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.convert(VS.71).aspx[^]

The Encoding class supports multiple Unicode encodings, and I was hypothesizing that the wrong one could have given the symptoms you're seeing.

Why won't the worm just leave me be?

Hi All,

Image I have a collection of items that is populated when a load function is called. This load function can be called multiple times based on user interaction.

My questions are...

Should I clear the current instance of the collection at the start of each load or should I simply create a new instance each time?

Are there any benifits or disadvantages to using one method over the other?

I cant image its going to make much difference either way... but you never know what you dont know

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

AFAIK using the same collection instance each time is a better way. While creating a new instance will force to use new heap space, clearing the existing instance will avoid this. I read about this topic when a new object was created in a for-each-loop, just to do a calculation. The author of the article mentioned to use the same instance but call a reset()-method within the loop.

Well, you forget to close the server port when you app shuts down.

hi SeMartens first of all thx for replyin
but frankly speakin i checked out ur article but cudnt catch a word can u explain me in simpler words
plzzzz....
..
help me with the solution

Okay, let me try.

Your server opens a socket at port 8080 with

byte[] recieved = server.Receive(ref ip);

This socket will be open all the time your program is running. You have to close this socket when your application exits.

So you have to use following instruction:

server.Close()

Check that every instance of the app is closed before you start a new try.

By the way, does something else is running at port 8080? Maybe Apache Tomcat or something similar? Could be that your app is in conflict with another one.

so how am i supposed to know wether the port is already occupied by some other application
and which other port can i use

There's a list of standard ports here, but that doesn't include ports opened by applications which don't follow standards. Your best bet is going with something unlikely, like 65535; alternatively anything over 49151 should work

thx i used port 8080 n its working perfectly fine thx for ur help
but now there is another problem
is it possible to use the same udpclient object for sending as well as recieving data
i mean
if i create a UDPcleint object like
void send()
{
UDPClient client = new UDPClient();
client.Connect(server, 8080);
cleint.send(nedata);
}

void recieve()
{
UDPClient client = new UDPClient();
IpEndpoint ip = new IPEndponit(server, 8080)
client.Recieve(ref ip)
....
}
void main()
{
thread thd_send = new thread(new threadStart(send));
thread thd_send = new thread(new threadStart(recieve));
}
}

On windows you can use the "netstat"-command. This will list all applications and the ports the occupy.

hey thx Sebastian ur soluion worked perfectly fine

you do know that error messages are not just random characters?

mostly they tell you the problem and nearly always you can throw them into google and get an answer that will fix your problem in minutes.. both apply in this case

hi musefan
i tried googling but cudnt find proper ans
if u cud help me with the coding then i wud be really grateful to you
thx in advance

Text speak dictionary...
'u'='you'
'cud'='could'
'cudnt'='couldn't or couldnt'
'thx'='thanks'
'wud'='would'
'ans'='answer'
and my personal favorite
'help me with the coding'='do it, send it to me for free, and I probably will stop trolling until I find something else I'm to lazy to research and fix'

Check out the CodeProject forum Guidelines[^]

I am new to C# so I've been browsing the MSDN libraries to see how to use certain classes. After reading your post, I looked for and found the description of the UdpClient class.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.udpclient.aspx

There are examples on that site, but specifically you need to close your server connection, as the others were telling you. So, somewhere before the user closes the program, you have to call server.Close()

I would recommend a finally block in your receive() method and closing the server there. But you would have to define server before the try block for this to work.

thx Mia Logan
the actual problem lies with the server itself my client sends data properly but when i comes to receving the server throws an ecxception
"the port can be used only once" this exception
i'll check out msdn documentation of UDPClient as well thx for the advice

Guys,

I need your help here. Appreciate any advice as I am not familiar with matrix. Everyone is asking me to use matrix.

I have a rectangle that are draw using the on_paint function.

The users can rotate or resize the rectangle.

Currently I am using the m_graphics.RotateTransform(node.Angle);

If the user DOES NOT rotate and just resize, everything is good. Just like MS Office.

But once it is resize, everything when haywire. I am not able to use the mouse coordinate to track the height and width of the rectangle.

Anyone can help?

Thanks
Daniel

[joke] Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. [/joke]

Seriously though, what matrix are you talking about? What are you trying to emulate?
