We Keep Coding

I am trying to get my GUI to receive messages from another application. However, nothing works

As the title says, I have been given a simple flight simulator and I have been tasked to create a GUI which connects to the flight sim (Through Socket Programming). Then I can send Control Updates to the flight sim through a button by using TCPClient and writing to the stream (already done that).
However, the flight Sim I have been given sends telemetry information and my GUI is supposed to receive that information and display it on a datagridView. I have tried running a thread in the background to invoke the ReceiveMessage method and then the DisplayMessage method is supposed to activate but nothing works. The Flight Simulator sends a JSON string and from what I understood, my GUI needs to deserialize it and present it on to the Data Grid View.
Sorry if my explanation is not great. Here is the code:
The process of listening when the programs are connected should work in the following sequence:
public void ConnectProgram(string IPaddress, int port)
{
tcpClient = new TcpClient();
tcpClient.Connect(IPaddress, port);
}
private void start()
{
messageInThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReceiveMessage))
{
IsBackground = true
};
//thank you LarsTech for pointing out to write .Start() but it still doesn't work
messageInThread.Start();
btnListen.Enabled = false;
}
private void ReceiveMessage()
{
//netStream = tcpClient.GetStream();
string JSONmsg = " ";
int i;
using (netStream = tcpClient.GetStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
int numBytesRead;
while ((numBytesRead = netStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
ms.Read(buffer, 0, numBytesRead);
}
JSONmsg = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms.ToArray(), 0, (int)ms.Length);
DisplayMessage(JSONmsg);
}
}
}
private void DisplayMessage(string JSONmsg)
{
if (dataTelemetryInfo.InvokeRequired)
{
object[] args = new object[] { JSONmsg };
this.Invoke(new StringArg(DisplayMessage), args); //StringArg is a delegate with a string as a parameter
}
else
{
lblTest.Text += JSONmsg;
telemetryInfo = serializer.Deserialize<TelemetryUpdate>(JSONmsg);
dataTelemetryInfo.Rows.Add(telemetryInfo.Altitude.ToString(), telemetryInfo.ElevatorPitch.ToString(), telemetryInfo.Pitch.ToString(),
telemetryInfo.Speed.ToString(), telemetryInfo.Throttle.ToString(), telemetryInfo.VerticalSpeed.ToString(),
telemetryInfo.WarningCode.ToString());
}
}
Once I connect the programs, and I click on the Listen button of my GUI (which starts the "start()" method), nothing changes and my datagridview isn't updated. Thank you in advance.

Change ReceiveMessage to:
private void ReceiveMessage()
{
//netStream = tcpClient.GetStream();
string JSONmsg = " ";
int i;
using (netStream = tcpClient.GetStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
int numBytesRead;
while ((numBytesRead = netStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
ms.Write(buffer, 0, numBytesRead);
}
JSONmsg = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms.ToArray());
DisplayMessage(JSONmsg);
}
}
}
You must .Write to your MemoryStream.

Sending and receiving files keeps hanging

my program should be able to send and receive files but for some reason whenever i click on the send (button1) and receive (button2) buttons, it keeps hanging. Not sure if its something wrong my my codes? Also, I feel like my codes are pretty long as compared to other examples i found online but I'm not sure how to rectify.

Generally speaking
...try to approach the problem differently.
You can't just copy paste stuff from the Internet and hope for the best. You need to understand what you're doing thoroughly.
Regarding your exact problem
Take a look at the button2_Click method.
It contains a while loop which apparently never finishes.
while (true)
{
data = receiveData(socket);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(data);
break;
}
It does finish because of the break command. But this is all very hard to read.
When you copy paste code around and then apply quick fixes you end up with a pile of code which is very hard to debug.
It took me about 10 minutes to notice the fact that the client defines it's "message verbs" like so:
public const string SEND = "[SEND]";
public const string RECEIVE = "[RECEIVE]";
public const string QUIT = "[QUIT]";
while the server defines them like so:
public const string SEND = "[SEND]";
public const string RECV = "[RECV]";
public const string QUIT = "[QUIT]";
This is maybe not the only problem, but it is sufficient to create a deadlock,
because the server never executes the positive branch of this if statement:
else if (request == RECV)
{
receiveFileFromClient(filename, client);
}
so the client believes it is about to receive something, which proves to be false.
Also make sure you send the "SEND" and "RECEIVE" message verbs when you should and not mix them up.
Good luck!
PS: I would suggest you take a look at more simpler to use techniques for sending and receiving data, such as:
WCF
ASP.NET Web Services
Web API

Ignoring any logic errors that may occur in your programs, the way you are handling things in your client whenever it is doing an action it is doing it on the GUI thread. This will make your application seem like it is locking but instead it is executing your logic on the GUI thread.
The same problem is occurring on the server. It accepts a connection, and then goes on to receive the file. It will not be able to receive any other connection until it finished receiving the file.
The server is not without problems either because it is never checking if it receives 0 bytes from the socket. Which means that the client closed its end of the connection. You are simply assuming that if you receive less than 1024 you are receiving your last part of the file. This is simply not true for TCP. You only know you received the last part if you receive 0 bytes. TCP is a byte streaming protocol you cannot assume you will be receiving blocks of 1024 bytes. It is likely that this will be in fact the case, but you should not code it like that. Check for reception of 0 bytes. On the client you did check for 0 bytes, I am puzzled why you did not do the same on the server. The problematic part is this :
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
int size = client.Receive(data);
output.Write(data, 0, size);
count += size;
if(size<1024) //you can only break if the size is 0
{
break;
}
There are probably more bugs. As the other answer also indicated some other issues.

Loosing one Byte over TCP Socket

So I'm trying to make a chatroom. I use TCP Sockets to send all information. But when I send a byte array the receiving socket's buffer has the last byte missing. it's 0 cause the byte array is 255 big, so the left over bytes are 0. I've checked through debug mode, at the point when the packet was sent, the array is correct. But at the break point when the sockets finished receiving it's missing that last byte. Any reason why this would be happening? I saw another thread which said you had to stop the thread till the sockets finished receiving, but I'm using AsyncCallBack which to my knowledge is called when the socket has finished receiving.
Also the first byte in each packet is supposed to be the string size (To account for the extra empty bytes).
PacketClass:
public class Packet
{
public byte[] Buffer;
public Packet(string message)
{
Buffer = new byte[255];
byte[] messageArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message);
Buffer[0] = (byte)messageArray.GetLength(0);
for (int i = 0; i < messageArray.GetLength(0); i++)
{
Buffer[i+1] = messageArray[i];
}
}
public Packet(byte[] buffer)
{
Buffer = buffer;
}
public string GetMessage()
{
List<byte> messageBuffer = new List<byte>();
for (int i = 1; i <= Buffer[0]; i++)
{
messageBuffer.Add(Buffer[i]);
}
return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(messageBuffer.ToArray());
}
}
SocketClass:
class Client
{
public static List<Client> connectedClients = new List<Client>();
public Socket Sock;
public byte[] Buffer = new byte[255];
public Client(Socket pSock)
{
Sock = pSock;
Sock.BeginReceive(Buffer, 0, 255, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(RecieveCallBack), null);
}
public void Send(byte[] pBuffer)
{
Sock.BeginSend(pBuffer, 0, pBuffer.GetLength(0), SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(SendCallBack), null);
}
public void SendCallBack(IAsyncResult AR)
{
Console.WriteLine("Sent");
Sock.EndSend(AR);
}
public void RecieveCallBack(IAsyncResult AR)
{
Sock.EndReceive(AR);
Packet recPacket = new Packet(Buffer);
Console.WriteLine(recPacket.GetMessage());
Sock.BeginReceive(Buffer, 0, 255, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(RecieveCallBack), null);
}
}
Main Server Program
`class Client
{
public static List connectedClients = new List();
public Socket Sock;
public byte[] Buffer = new byte[255];
public Client(Socket pSock)
{
Sock = pSock;
Sock.BeginReceive(Buffer, 0, 255, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(RecieveCallBack), null);
}
public void Send(byte[] pBuffer)
{
Sock.BeginSend(pBuffer, 0, pBuffer.Length, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(SendCallBack), null);
}
public void SendCallBack(IAsyncResult AR)
{
Console.WriteLine("Sent");
Sock.EndSend(AR);
}
public void RecieveCallBack(IAsyncResult AR)
{
Sock.EndReceive(AR);
Packet recPacket = new Packet(Buffer);
Console.WriteLine(recPacket.GetMessage());
Sock.BeginReceive(Buffer, 0, 255, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(RecieveCallBack), null);
}
}`

Solved
The error was in the send method which I didn't include.
sock.BeginSend(sentBuffer[0].Buffer, 0, sentBuffer[0].Buffer[0], SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(SendCallBack), null);
sentBuffer is a list, to be a queue. I changed it to 255 and it workd

ASync TCP Client/Server issue

I have this Server method called when client connected:
class Server {
protected override void clientIn(TcpClient client)//Called when a Client comes in
{
NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
byte[] y = new byte[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
objectState state = new objectState();
state.buffer = y;
state.user = client;
stream.BeginRead(y, 0, y.Length, read, state);
}
public void read(IAsyncResult ar)
{
Console.WriteLine("GetData");
objectState state = (objectState)ar.AsyncState;
byte[] buffer = state.buffer;
TcpClient client = state.user;
int byte=client.GetStream().EndRead(ar);
client.GetStream().BeginRead(buffer, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize, read, state);
String text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer);
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
}
class objectState
{
public TcpClient user;
public byte[] buffer;
}
I send two data from two different client and my problem is this:
If I don't execute the instruction "Console.WriteLine(text);", in Console I get 2 times the message "GetData"(it means that I get the data from 2 clients),
but If I execute the instruction "Console.WriteLine(text);", in Console I get 1 time the message "GetData" and below the data just got. It's the first client's data and the second client's data was lost but I don't understand why.
Can you help me?
Thank you for your time
UPDATE:
I edited the code in this way and it works fine , but I don't understand why:
protected override void clientIn(TcpClient client)
{
objectState state = new objectState();
state.user = client;
state.buffer= new byte[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
client.Client.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize, 0, new AsyncCallback(read), state);
}
public void read(IAsyncResult ar)
{
Console.WriteLine("GetData");
objectState state = (objectState)ar.AsyncState;
TcpClient client = stato.user;
int dataSize = client.Client.EndReceive(ar);
String data = "";
data = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(state.buffer, 0,dataSize);
Console.WriteLine("\n "+data);
client.Client.BeginReceive(stato.buffer, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize, 0, new AsyncCallback(read), state);
}
I don't understand where was wrong before.
UPDATE 2:
public void read(IAsyncResult ar)
{
Console.WriteLine("GetData");
objectState state = (objectState)ar.AsyncState;
byte[] buffer = state.buffer;
TcpClient client = state.user;
int dataSize=client.GetStream().EndRead(ar);
String text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer);
state.buffer = new byte[client.ReceiveBufferSize];//new buffer
client.GetStream().BeginRead(state.buffer, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize, read, state);
Console.WriteLine(text);
}

How can i get more than one jpg. or txt file from any folder?

i have two Application to listen network Stream : Server.cs on the other hand; send file Client.cs. But i want to send more files on a stream from any folder. For example. i have C:/folder whish has got 3 jpg files. My client must run. Also My server.cs get files on stream:
Client.cs:
private void btn_send2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] paths= null;
paths= System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(#"C:\folder" + #"\", "*.jpg", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
byte[] Dizi;
TcpClient Gonder = new TcpClient("127.0.0.1", 51124);
FileStream Dosya;
FileInfo Dos;
NetworkStream Akis;
foreach (string path in paths)
{
Dosya = new FileStream(path , FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
Dos = new FileInfo(path );
Dizi = new byte[(int)Dos.Length];
Dosya.Read(Dizi, 0, (int)Dos.Length);
Akis = Gonder.GetStream();
Akis.Write(Dizi, 0, (int)Dosya.Length);
Gonder.Close();
Akis.Flush();
Dosya.Close();
}
}
Also i have Server.cs
void Dinle()
{
TcpListener server = null;
try
{
Int32 port = 51124;
IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
server = new TcpListener(localAddr, port);
server.Start();
Byte[] bytes = new Byte[1024 * 250000];
// string ReceivedPath = "C:/recieved";
while (true)
{
MessageBox.Show("Waiting for a connection... ");
TcpClient client = server.AcceptTcpClient();
MessageBox.Show("Connected!");
NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
if (stream.CanRead)
{
saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
// burası degişecek
string pathfolder = saveFileDialog1.FileName;
StreamWriter yaz = new StreamWriter(pathfolder);
string satir;
StreamReader oku = new StreamReader(stream);
while ((satir = oku.ReadLine()) != null)
{
satir = satir + (char)13 + (char)10;
yaz.WriteLine(satir);
}
oku.Close();
yaz.Close();
client.Close();
}
}
}
catch (SocketException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("SocketException: {0}", e);
}
finally
{
// Stop listening for new clients.
server.Stop();
}
Console.WriteLine("\nHit enter to continue...");
Console.Read();
}
Please look Client.cs: icollected all files from "c:\folder"
paths= System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(#"C:\folder" + #"\", "*.jpg", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
My Server.cs how to get all files from stream?

It's not a typical way of doing things.
Usually you would write a single file in a single stream and repeat the process for multiple files. You risk data corruption this way as you'll have to place some kind of marker in the stream to know where to split it.

The easiest way is to use multiple sockets, one for commands and one (or more) for sending files.
The below code have NOT been tested, just wrote it up to show what I mean. It's multithreaded and can receive multiple files from the same client, just call sendfiles multiple times in the client.
You might want to add error/exception handling if you decide to finish the code.
