Im not sure how to go about this but i want to connect using Form1 to a tcp connection then when i open form2 I wish to be able to type a string in a textbox say "Help!" and then click on a button to send this throught the connection I make in Form1.
I have coded the following but its not working, I have missed something but I dont know what and how to fix this! Please help!
In my first form "Form1" I connect using....
try
{
myclient = new TcpClient(ipaddress.Text, 1001);}
catch{
MessageBox.Show("TcpClient Failed"); return;}
networkStream = myclient.GetStream();
streamReader =
new StreamReader(networkStream);streamWriter =
new StreamWriter(networkStream);
I then open a new form to send a message like so....
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
Form2 f2 = new Form2();f2.Show();
}
I then use a textbox "t1" where I enter the message and a button "b1" to send the message. On clicking the button "b1" the following code is used....
private void b1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
if (t1.Text == ""){
MessageBox.Show("Please enter something in the textbox");t1.Focus();
return;}
try{
Form1.streamWriter.WriteLine("1,msg," + t1.Text); Form1.streamWriter.Flush(); } catch (Exception ee){
Console.WriteLine("Exception reading from Server:" + ee.ToString());}
}
This seems fine to me, but im not sure when using different forms, why doesnt it work any ideas
Thanks
