I've created a new class which inherits the TcpClient
class :
Public Class MyTcpClient
Inherits Net.Sockets.TcpClient
Private _ClintName As String
Sub New(ByVal host As String, ByVal port As Integer, ByVal ClientName As String)
MyBase.New(host,port)
_ClintName = ClientName
End Sub
Public Property ClientName()
Get
Return _ClintName
End Get
Set(ByVal value)
_ClintName = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
I tried to connect to an instance of TcpListener
:
Try
client = New MyTcpClient(ip, port , "ClientName")
Catch ex As Exception
xUpdate("Can't connect to the server!")
End Try
However on the server side, there is a problem with the EndAcceptTcpClient
function. The server side code is something like this:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim NewClient As MyTcpClient
Listning = New TcpListener(GetMyIP, 3818)
Listning.Start()
UpdateList("Server Starting", False)
Listning.BeginAcceptTcpClient(New AsyncCallback(AddressOf AcceptClient), Listning)
End Sub
Sub AcceptClient(ByVal ar As IAsyncResult)
NewClient = Listning.EndAcceptTcpClient(ar)
UpdateList("New Client Joined!", True)
Listning.BeginAcceptTcpClient(New AsyncCallback(AddressOf AcceptClient), Listning)
End Sub
The error is occuring on the first line of the AcceptClient
sub :
NewClient = Listning.EndAcceptTcpClient(ar)
The error message is:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient' to type 'ServerChat.MyTcpClient'.
If I change MyTcpClient
to TcpClient
everything will be ok.
Should I do any changes on the TcpListener
object or is my attempt wrong?
