trying to get simple connection to irc
im trying to send a logon string to a irc server and capture the return how do i do this
ive been trying with the below code but it does not work...
Connect(txtServer.Text, txtPort.Text, "NICK " & txtBaseNick.Text & Index & vbLf & "USER TEST tst text :text" & Index & vbLf & "PONG :mkv" & vbLf & "JOIN " & txtChannel.Text & vbLf)
Sub Connect(ByVal server As [String], ByVal irc_port As Int32, ByVal message As [String])
Try
' Create a TcpClient.
' Note, for this client to work you need to have a TcpServer
' connected to the same address as specified by the server, port
' combination.
Dim port As Int32 = irc_port
Dim client As New TcpClient(server, port)
' Translate the passed message into ASCII and store it as a Byte array.
Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII .GetBytes( message)
' Get a client stream for reading and writing.
' Stream stream = client.GetStream();
Dim stream As NetworkStream = client.GetStream()
' Send the message to the connected TcpServer.
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length)
Console.WriteLine("Sent: {0}", message)
Form1.ListBox1.Items.Add(" Sent: " & message)
'My.Application.DoEvents()
' Receive the TcpServer.response.
' Buffer to store the response bytes.
data = New [Byte](256) {}
' String to store the response ASCII representation.
Dim responseData As [String] = [String].Empty
' Read the first batch of the TcpServer response bytes.
Dim bytes As Int32 = stream.Read(data, 0, data.Length)
responseData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII .GetString (data, 0, bytes)
Console.WriteLine("Receive d: {0}", responseData)
Form1.ListBox2.Items.Add(" Received: " & responseData)
'My.Application.DoEvents()
' Close everything.
stream.Close()
client.Close()
Catch e As ArgumentNullException
Console.WriteLine("Argumen tNullExcep tion: {0}", e)
Catch e As SocketException
Console.WriteLine("SocketE xception: {0}", e)
End Try
'Console.WriteLine(Control Chars.Cr + " Press Enter to continue...")

What error do you get, and where?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
or you could use it's compiled dll in your vb.net application without converting it :)
if that code, works he can even add the whole C# code as a separate project on his VB application and it would work too.

im not getting a full connection..it send the info, and gets back the info
maybe im missing the logon itself.. besides what im sending to login to join a room

Perhaps you could give the library from mohzedan a try. It also looks to be well documented, with some examples as well.

You don't need to convert it. ... you should just build the project and add the dll as a reference to your project and use it as is
