I'm relativley new to programming in VB.net 2005, and i'm thinking of doing a project for work and making a chat client. I have been searching and the only way i have thought about doing it is with the port-listening function.
Is it possible to do this using VB? And what would i need to do to have this running in my project?
Thanks,
Nick Rawe
Hi Nick
Yes listening to Ports and making client/server applications are very much possible in VB 2005.
i would suggest you to use UDP protocol rather than TCP to make a simple chat application.
Other possible ways to make a chat application in VB2005 is via remoting and Named Pipes/
