Hello guys, I'm Sijmen Schoon and I'm new here. I have signed up for this site because I think it is a good forum with a lot of much knowing guys. I hope I can learn a lot here (and teach other guys with the experience I already have)

OK, to go on to go on with my question:

I want to let two PCs speak to each other using sockets, so my friend can do things with my PC, for example killing or starting a specific process.

I've researched a lot, but I don't really understand the tuts I find on google.

So do you guys know a good tutorial (or write me one) so I can continue coding?

I know I need to use sockets, but I don't understand how to implement them into my program.

Welcome, Sijmen!

Have you done some basic reading online already? I would suggest Socket Class (System.Net.Sockets)

[sijmenjan]

Yeah, I know I need to use sockets. But I have no idea how to use them (at least, how to implement them in my program).
And yes, I used Google until the results started being irrelevant...

Cheers, Sijmen

Probably better if you post some code first so the members can help you figure out what you want to do. It is unlikely someone will post a solution for you without you first trying some coding.

OK, but I don't think it will be easy for me, because these sockets are the base of my program :)

But I'll try my best at the command-processing part, I don't have any other projects to do (so happy to be a 13 year old: free VS2005/08/10 pro, lots of time).

I think I'll restart tomorrow (because the code I have at the moment is everything but usable :cool:)

Greets, Sijmen

What you need to do is googling, there are MANY MANY ways to use sockets, I prefer "Asyncronous". search google for "Asyncronous Socket Chat".
Play around, make misstakes, this is the only way you'll learn about sockets, understand delegates, events and most important how a socket works.
Don't be affraid to try.. I've been writing plenty of socket softwares, I started out rough, The Direct Connect Protocol...
Good luck
