Re: [twsocket] Computer's name
I don't know how to make sure there won't be any other machines in between, I mean to make sure both data belongs to the same computer. My question is, How can I set both messages comes in the same time like one whole message or combine them by the server as one message? Is there any ways of doing this? You know that both messages are from same client because it is the same TWSocketClient instance which make it available to you. This is why I told you to store that information into your own class derived from TWSocketClient. This is shown in OverbyteIcsTcpSrv1.pas source in the demos. The derived class is named TTcpSrvClient and has only two members (This is just a demo which is kept as simple as possible). In that sample, see for example how ConnectTime member is handled and do the same with all your informations. In order for TWSocketServer to use YOUR class, you must initialize his ClientClass property. Again, see the sample code. The Client argument in TWSocketServer event are refering to the instance of YOUR class handling a particular and unique connection. The Sender argument in YOUR class events are always (as usual with Delphi) the instance of YOUR class handling a particular and unique connection. Iy your sever has N connected clients, then you have N instances of YOUR class existing. Each one is accessible thru Client or Sender argument and also from TWSocketServer.Client[] indexed property. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] Computer's name
Hi Francois, I had to comeback to this issue, I have understand that these 2 messages can be combined, " You can combine it when the message comes from the client. I don't see where the problem is. Or maybe there is something I misunderstood." Now, Here are these 2 messages, Client connected:|1| Remote:127.0.0.1:52541| Local:127.0.0.1:443 Received from:|127.0.0.1|Computer Name:|TROJAN.marketmedia.local|IP Address:|172.16.16.54|Language:|FIN|User name:|daniel cc|OS:|Windows 7 Service Pack 1|Date & time:|24.05.2011 13:53:08' First message "Client connected" comes when the client is connected Second message"Received from" comes right after from the same client. I might have difficulties of explaining this but, I need to have both info into the xml file as info of one computer because it is info of one computer. I can do all of that but what I can't do is, I don't know how to make sure there won't be any other machines in between, I mean to make sure both data belongs to the same computer. My question is, How can I set both messages comes in the same time like one whole message or combine them by the server as one message? Is there any ways of doing this?

No. The client can only send data when the TCP session is established and your first message is generated at server side form TCP session information. What I need is, to combine both messages and get the ID and computer name. You can combine it when the message comes from the client. I don't see where the problem is.

I am not sure if understand this but? I have an xml which is kind of database where I would like to keep the computer data and refresh the data everytime I get the "KEEPALIVE" message from the client which will tell me that client is working. Client is sending the keepalive data by informing it's name and from the name I will know who is alive and who is dead. It will be easier for me if I could just combine the messages and insert the data into the xml because I don't know how to store the data in clientclass. In the ICS demos, there are examples. If I remeber well, the demo simply record the datetime of connection. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Re: [twsocket] Computer's name
Hi Francois, Thanks for the response. I have tested, I can get the computer name if the computer is in the same network. I can send any message including the computer name from the client when it connects. Now, First, Server gives info of connected client with it's ip and the ID, the ID is very important for me because I need to use it for sending commands to the client. Second, Client sends a message where it tells it's name etc. when it is connected. I push client to send message to the server with lot of info.
