Client server Application

Hello,

I'm not sure where should i post this topic, if i was wrong. Forgive me please.
I want to create a client-server application in a network. I will use visual basic in visual studio 2005. In my system environment, I have 2 servers, i want to link from server A to server B and and retrieve its database information.

I'm new to client-server application environment. Is there anyone provide some source and helps to me. I'm urgent to develop this before august 15 due date coming.

From an article i have read, it tell me to use winsock in vb 6.0. But i can't find any winsock in visual studio 2005.

I hopes this make sense and anyone could helps me.
Your helps would be appreciated.

Client server Application

Dear,
Sorry for my fault,

Actually, i want all the processing done in the server. Databser retriving and all the thing is donw is server.
So i must have a thin client right
The client just connect to server and use its application. Is that i just need to develop a connection at client site. Then conect to server.

I'm using visual studio 2005 and visual basic programming panguages.
From my current research, i found out that i can use TCPClient, TCPServer, Socket Class to make connecttion. But i don't know which one must use.

Thanks for your reply.

There's no way I can make the call without knowing what you're actually trying to accomplish. You just said you needed a client/server architecture but haven't said anything about what the server needs to do, other than just hosting a database that is accessible by all clients. Answer this question: what does the server need to do that can't be done in the client

No no...

Actually, i also don'y know whether the system architecture is coorect o not.

Senario 1
In my system, i plan to develop a server application, and the database is locate at server. Then the client just access to server and use its application. there are no installaiton in client sites. All the process is done in server.

Senario 2
I develop an application and install in server and client site. The database is also locate in server. But the client is jus open the database connection throught server the use its data.

From the above two(2) senario. Do you think which is correct
Then you just only tell me how to start it. I totally don't know how to start.

Thanks in advanced

Use the Socket class in .NET to replace the VB6 Winsock control.

I'm using old VB languages, not .NET. Is that different

Ok, thank to you.

But could you provide the detail step by step way/instruction/tutorial to guild me to create a client server application. Otherwise, you could just give me some link from internet. I really cannot find the relevant link.

Thanks in advanced.

After re-reading your message, it sounds like you just need to access a database on another server. That is pretty easy, Google for OleDbConnection if you want to access a Microsoft Access database, SqlConnection if you need to talk to a SQL server.
