To blow your instructor's socks off:
-Chat program with file transferring, where users can browse other user's files (and display the associated icon for each file type). Include data encryption for the chat messages for extra sockoffage points.
-An FTP server or client (or both)
-An email server or client (or both)
-A wordpad clone, on steroids (full RTF compatibility, including automatic color schemes for code editing)

To fly under the radar:
-A network testing tool. Ping, Trace Route, etc...
-A LAN chat tool with broadcast (all computers) messages.


Best I can do off the top of my head.

Actually, how big a project can you do? Is it allowed using of ASP.NET for your project?


Cheers

As i am learning VB.net so i am not fully aware with that software. i wanted to ask u is it possible to connect hardware to software using vb.net. i mean taking data from hardware and using it in my project. And if its possible which book should i refer or any site. Again thanks for the project idea its sounding good.

Thanks dude,
But Don understand anyhting in this. It would be better if u give some detail on it.

Here are the details

A point of sale system is a bit of software they use in shops: when they scan the barcode in, it gets interpreted by the POS system, which adds the price, item name etc. It then comes up with a total, maybe edits the stock count of the item, that kind of thing. If you wanted you could make it really quite advanced.

The translator would have one textbox, and one output field (label or similar). You could enter a plaintext query, and it would come back with the answer. eg if you enter "50kmh in metres per second" into google, it will come back with the answer. It could also work as a translator eg "computer in french". It would need a db to store the conversion data, and a fairly clever bit of code in VB to interpret what kind of query it was and do it.

Yes, VB can interface with hardware. Im writing a bit of software at the moment to automate surveying measurements with a theodolite.

Only thing is, VB.NET 2003 doesnt include support for serial ports. Either use 2005 or a 3rd party plugin to do that.

I like the idea of POS and to make it advance i can use it as EDI software.

Well, it depends what the hardware is. For the devide Im using, its a case of sending plain-text commands through a serial port, which is fairly simple to set up. Id be happy to help you with this if you wanted... Beyond that I know very little about actual hardware interfacing, the internet would be a great place to start..
