Can't get to connect clients to server
Hi, I'm trying to build a media server where 4 clients can connect to it simulateously. Each client can choose a video channel and control its playback. However, the following code does not seems to connect/work. The error is " cannot convert from 'WindowsFormsApplication1.Client' to 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket' ".
Other than that, I cant get to use the BinaryWriter in my code.
Code:
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private volatile int channelNo;
private TcpListener server;
private List<Client> client = new List<Client>();
private Thread serverThread;
private Thread listenThread;
private NetworkStream buffer;
private ManualResetEvent stopThread = new ManualResetEvent(false);
private BinaryWriter writer;
private NetworkStream socketStream;
private List<AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer> mediaPlayers = new List<AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer>();
public Form1()
{
try
{
InitializeComponent();
mediaPlayers.Add(axWindowsMediaPlayer1);
mediaPlayers.Add(axWindowsMediaPlayer2);
mediaPlayers.Add(axWindowsMediaPlayer3);
mediaPlayers.Add(axWindowsMediaPlayer4);
server = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 3811);
server.Start();
listenThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(listenServer));
listenThread.Start();
}
catch (Exception error)
{
MessageBox.Show(error.Message);
}
}
private ManualResetEvent quitEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
public void listenServer(object obj)
{
while (quitEvent.WaitOne(1000, false))
{
try
{
if (server.Server.Available > 0)
{
Client localClient = new Client(server.AcceptSocket());
client.Add(localClient);
NetworkStream buffer = localClient.GetStream(); // get NetworkStream associated with Tcpclient
NetworkStream serverSockStream = new NetworkStream(localClient);
socketStream = new NetworkStream(localClient);
writer = new BinaryWriter(socketStream);
serverThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(startServer));
serverThread.Start(localClient);
}
}
catch (Exception err)
{
MessageBox.Show(err.Message);
}
}
}
private void startServer(object obj)
{
try
{
Client client = obj as Client;
Debug.Assert(client != null);
string[] cueNo = new string[5];
int countNo = 0;
int videoPlayingNo = 0;
bool isEjectClick = true;
while (!stopThread.WaitOne(0, true))
{
int length = client.ClientSock.Available;
if (length > 0)
{
byte[] receivedCmd = new byte[length];
client.ClientSock.Receive(receivedCmd);
string cmdReceived = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receivedCmd);
if (cmdReceived == "CRAT00042011\n")// to connect to channel 1
//imagine you have the crat command here
client.Channel = 0;
if (cmdReceived == "CRAT00042012\n")
client.Channel = 1;
if (cmdReceived == "CRAT00042013\n")
client.Channel = 2;
if (cmdReceived == "CRAT00042014\n")
client.Channel = 3;
}
}
}
catch (Exception error)
{
MessageBox.Show(error.Message);
}
}
protected override void OnFormClosed(FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnFormClosed(e);
quitEvent.Set();
client = null;
server.Stop();
writer.Close();
stopThread.Set();
}
}
}
Code:
{
public class Client
{
private Socket clientSock;
public Socket ClientSock
{
get { return clientSock; }
}
/// <summary>
/// make sure channel is between 0 and 3
/// </summary>
private int channel=0;
public int Channel
{
get { return channel; }
set
{
channel = value;
Debug.Assert(channel >= 0 && channel <= 3, "Channel out of range");
}
}
public Client(Socket sock)
{
clientSock = sock;
}
}
}
Can anyone help? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
