VB 2005 Socket Processor / News: Recent posts

I have released the Beta "A" code.

Enjoy!

I have activated the Wiki feature with the intention of using it for detailing and discussing the use of the socket server in other projects.

I have released the Beta version of the Socket Processor. I would like for somebody to break it.

The "A" code has been released, if I don't find any serious problems, it will be released as beta code in a couple of weeks.

I took a break and didn't work on this for the last few weeks, but I am back.

I have taken the binary versions off-line because I think it is better to just work with the code directly. If you want a complied version, let me know. Once I get the code ready for production, I will produce a binary release.

Alpha v0.0.1.9 has been posted. I will be releasing it as a beta version unless somebody sees a problem with it.

I will be starting work on the "A" code in the very near future.

I did some testing with the "B" code, async listener with multi-threaded blocking clients.

With the Debug traces REM'd out, it run on an order of 40 times better with the testing application, much better than I had expected. It runs even better when compiled. It is still not performing where I want it to be, but it is acceptable for the time being.

The big advantage of this format is the ability to move higher level connection specific code into the connection level. This could include formatting/parsing, authentication, Address validation, encryption or anything else. ... read more

After looking around a bit for a fair TCP server for use in VB 2005 and not finding one, I decided to build one from scratch.

I started on April 18, 2007 and it is starting to shape up into something useful.

I will hopefully have the first piece of the code up this evening (04/26/07).
