Hello,

I have 6 devices, price checkers. I have a project which the client in a supermarket will scan a product on this device and it will return the price of the product. I have managed to connect with one device, get the bar code and send data. But I can not seem to do to connect with multiple socket connection.
This is the code when I receive and send data:

Connecting with the device:
C#
private void connect1(string adip, int porta)
        {
            try
            {
                IPEndPoint ip = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(adip), porta);
                connect1 = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
                connect1.Connect(ip);
            }
            catch (System.Net.Sockets.SocketException se)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
            }
        }


Getting the barcode:
C#
private void getbarCode()
        {
            byte[] data = new byte[1024];
            int receivedDataLength = lidhje.Receive(data);
            numberCodeBar = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, receivedDataLength);
        }



Sending data to device:
C#
private void sendData(string price1)
        {
            try
            {
                Object objData = price1;
                byte[] price = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(objData.ToString());

                connect1.Send(price);
            }
            catch (System.Net.Sockets.SocketException se)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
            }
        }


I want to make this with muliple decives in the same time. I have searched Google but no luck.

Have you got a multithreaded server? http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2477/Multi-threaded-Client-Server-Socket-Class

It is in C++ . I do not know C++ . I used to learn only on university. :/

Initiative needed - CP has dozens of socket server articles in all languages - just pick one: eg http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/416448/TCP-Socket-Off-the-shelf

I did see the articles but i can not understand. :/

1 solution

I would suggest to write down one broker service/ message queue which will collect product scan results from the devices in async manner and then fetch it to the price service to return appropriate price of product.
