Simple peer-to-peer? for a simple life!
Hi everyone;
I am having problems with setting up my own accross the web peer-to-peer application. I am just looking for a very simple code! inVeryBasic language (Visual Basic
)
This is going to be a software that allows users to share files when they are online, well something like bittorent. However I want my software to identify the files without having to worry about downloading a file like a Torrent file before it could fo it.
I just want the code to use a specified value for the Mesh ID and share files accross the web with all the other people who are using the software at the same time! That is all to it, VeryBasic, but could somebody help me please?
Thanks
I assume you are referring to PeerChannel in WCF, not unmanaged p2p SDK.
If this assumption is correct, here's your basic sample (in VB.NET and C#):

However, it is worth noting that P2P is not really as simple as ABC, so I would strongly recommend that you grab a good book which has a chapter that explains how to write p2p apps.
I would recommend
http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Communication-Foundation-Unleashed-WCF/dp/0672329484/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/103-3024305-8379809?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189080685&sr=1-3
and/or
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-WCF-Practical-Microsoft-Implementation/dp/1590597028/ref=sr_1_16/103-3024305-8379809?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189080722&sr=1-16
I have both of these books (and 2 more which do not explain p2p), and I liked them both.
However, the best book to start with (if you have not worked with WCF yet) is
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Communication-Foundation-Developer/dp/0735623368/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-3024305-8379809?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189080685&sr=1-1
