Can VB 2005 be used to write client server applications? If so are there
any good books that document how it can be done?

Thanks,
Ben

Sure it can be used for client server apps. I'm not aware of any
specific books on the topic - so, I can't help you there. You'll want
to take a look an the documentation and examples in the System.Net and
the System.Net.Sockets namespaces.

Ben,

Almost every windowsform wich uses a database is a client server
application.
(Therefore look for books about AdoNet)

So can you give a specificaton what your idea is around a client server
application.

It is a basic eventlog monitor. I have to write a client that monitors all
three logs (application, system, and security) and sends the warning and
error messages to the server. Yeah I know there are many applications out
there that already do this, but I have to write one myself. It is part of a
grad course I am taking. I have two weeks to write this program. I have
the client mostly written but I can only monitor one of the three logs. I
started the thread eventlog monitoring asking for help and I did receive
some help but the help either did not work or I did something wrong. Most
likely I did something wrong.

Thanks,
Ben
