The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Need VB.Net code - client/server system. Server must be multi-threaded.

Asked by davidmwilliams in .NET

I need to implement a client/server system in VB.NET.

The bulk of my experience is in C on UNIX, Java and Delphi. What I'd do in any of those languages/environments is make a multi-threaded server that takes socket connections via TCP/IP. On a Windows environment, I'd make the server a service so it is always available and running. Now, I have done this sort of thing before in those other languages, but I'm having trouble getting started, in VB.NET.

I also need the server to perform periodic work on the file system - and not just process incoming TCP/IP connections. Presumably this should be in a thread of its own.

There are various code samples on MSDN for socket servers and simple services but I'm having trouble particularly working out how to create and manage threads in VB.NET.

What I would like is working code for a client/server system that meets these requirements. That is, I want the server to be a service and to be multithreaded. It must be capable of listening for incoming socket connections and to perform other work apart from the socket side of things.

If EE allows me to, I'll award extra points for swift and helpful solutions!!
