If all the computers are on the same LAN, you could use the broadcast address so that any computer can pick up the messages:

If they're on different networks, or you don't want the overhead associated with broadcasting, then you'll need to use multicasting:

Thanks! It will probebly be on the same LAN.

The error occurs when I try to send a message. It occurs on both computers.
When I send from one computer the error shows on the other.

I'm guessing that's the line that's causing the problem. The callback method will be called on a background thread; you will need to use InvokeRequired and Invoke to get back to the UI thread when you want to access the form's controls.
Invoke((Func<object, int>)listMessage.Items.Add, "Friend: " + receivedMessage);
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Thank you both!
I think that is the problem. Will check it out and get back.

hey OG, please enlighten me more on this.

Sorry Rahul, but it's a huge subject - I couldn't begin to do it justice in a small text box! 
There are some good tutorials out there which explain threading and the UI pretty well:
http://stuff.seans.com/2009/05/21/net-basics-do-work-in-background-thread-to-keep-gui-responsive/[^] (Backgound and why to thread)
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/246911-c%23-multi-threading-in-a-gui-environment/[^] (Fairly advanced)
But basically when you start to use multiple threads you can't touch any controls, except from the thread that created them - which is called the UI thread (for User Interface) and is the original thread the form started on. If you try, you will get a "cross-threading" error telling you not to do that. The only way to get round it is to Invoke the control - which basically requests the UI thread to do the work for you.
Have a look at the BackgroundWorker thread - it provides a way to update the display without invoking via the ProgressChanged event, which is executed on the original thread.

Can you mark a question as solved.
You really solved it Richard but Griffin also helped.
I am working on a game for XNA and need both computers to have access to the same "board".
Do you know anything about that?

I am reading file and after validation i am saving data in properties
Now i was hoping to use properties for validation and then save if validation succeed for e.g.
const string AN2Mandatory = @"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\s\S]{2}";
const string AN70Optional = @"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\s\S]{70}"; these are for validations
and these are properties
public string VersionNumber { get; set; }
public string ClientName { get; set; }
this is sample logic
Match m = Regex.Match(Line, AN70Optional);
VersionNumber = m.Value;
can i apply attributes or something so that while puting value in property my validation is evaluated first and then fill property. instead of validating separately and then storing it
|

|
|

I can offer you two ways...
1 - Put the validation into the property setter (simple).
2 - Write (or find) an attribute that gets the regex as parameter and validates the property decorated with (much powerful).

|

i am also trying the 2 approach and for that i have to write a custom attribute.

Great - when you ready made it into an article to share with all!!!

This is a win form application
i have created a class
public class ValidateProperty : Attribute
{
string _pattern;
bool _mandatory;
public ValidateProperty(string Pattern, bool Mandatory = false)
{
_pattern = Pattern;
_mandatory = Mandatory;
}
public override bool Match(object obj)
{
Match m = Regex.Match((string)obj, _pattern);
if (_mandatory == true)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(m.Value)) return false;
else
{
return true;
}
}
else
return true;
}
}
and then applied on property
[ValidateProperty(@"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\s\S]{70}",true)]
public string ClientName { get; set; }
but it is not validating when i put a string with less than 70 char. even in debug mode code is not going to match function
|
|
|
|
|
{70} doesn't mean exactly 70, but up to 70!!!
The correct format of {} is {m,n} where m is from and n is to...
When you use only one number it interpreted as {0,n}.
For exactly 70 characters try {70,70}!!!

yeah that's fine but issue is that it is not fired even if i pass null or less than 70 char
less than 70 so it should return false or should not accept value in that property.
but currently it is not happenin

You attribute's Match method got hit?

No it does not get hit.
ClientName="dd";

this is good thanks but data i will have is something like this
RA01XYZ 201401231445012345611012345678998765432101234DESTINATIONNAMESIZEIS70
RA is one field
01 is one field
XYZ is on and so on
so i will have to extract and then validate
any suggestions

With regex you can validate without breaking it apart...

|
|
|
|
|
yeah but then we will have to validate through regex and store it in property separately
i guess this is what they call catch 22 
|
|
|
|
|
I think not.
You should pass the regex as a property to your new attribute...

that's what i am doing
but see
i need to first
extract
validate
store
[RegexValidator(@"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\s\S]{2}", ErrorMessage = "ok")]
public string RecordType { get; set; }
[RegexValidator(@"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\s\S]{2}",ErrorMessage="ok1")]
public string VersionNumber { get; set; }
[StringLengthValidator(1, 50, MessageTemplate = "Last Name must be between 1 and 70 characters")]
public string ClientName { get; set; }
-----------------
string Line="RA01XYZ 201401231445012345611012345678998765432101234DESTINATIONNAMESIZEIS70 SENDINGENTITYIDENTIFIER SENDERNAMESIZE70 ";
p.RecordType = Line;
p.VersionNumber = Line;
Now issue is that it will always start from 1 character it will not increment
RecordType will start from 1 to 2
so VersionNumber should start from 3 to 4
and ClientName from 5 to 50
i guess i'll try mentioning this using StringLength validator but then datatype validation will be a case
|
|
|
|
|
|
thanks
now i guess i cant do evs in one step so i am extracting first using substring
and then validating and storing using attributes [EL]
[RegexValidator(@"[a-zA-Z@$^�-9\S]{2}", MessageTemplate = "RecordType Validation failed")]
