    Checking for Server

    Thank you and after using a free c# - Vb.net converter I am trying the code, but it don't seem to work for me. It throws an exception whether the client is connected or not - eh I think. I really don't understand the code. But I can set the time delay before it does what it does to the thread ...

    Checking for Server

    I'd like to continue this thread, but rephrase it: "Checking for a Client" and changing the timeout. If I: Dim client As New TcpClient("10.0.0.19", 5067) and there is nobody with that IpAddy on my local network, the Dim timeouts after 20 sec. I want to set a shorter Timeout. Is that possible?

The code below demonstrates my thoughts. For testing purposes I use a "Hard Wired" IpAddy where I know...

    Why square brackets [ ] in a declaration

    Shifting the topic to braces: Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message) 'Code calling TcpServer ' Receive the TcpServer.response. ' Buffer to store the response bytes. data = New [Byte](256) {} What is the purpose of the squiggly ones?

    Why square brackets [ ] in a declaration

    Thank you very much gentlemen. Tom P.S. Even though I now know their proper designation, I reject them and substitute them with my own: () "Parentes", {} "C#type" and [] boks.

    As in: strServer As [String] as opposed to: strServer As String?

    I'm trying to "slant" a bitmap. Not rotate as in RotateTransform. Let me explain using an italics font as an example. The font is slanted at an angle, but horisontal elements remain horisontal, no matter how much the vertical elements are angled. (Look at the letter "t" in italics. The...

    Question Struggling with DirectoryInfo and FileInfo classes.

    That simple - huh? I should have thought about that - actually I knew that - I mean, I come from an environment where the importance of closing files is second nature. Guess I thought the garbage collector in .NET was intuitive enough to know when I don't need stuff any more. Thank you very...
