: i am making a simple instant messenger system for LANs in VB6, : something along the lines of ICQ but not nearly so good :-). since : i am new to VB and client-server applications both, i need help of : all kinds. i am hoping to include message transfer between clients : thru DCC, chat, offline message storing and file transfer. the : database will be simple to begin with, in Access2000, and i will : use ADO to communicate with it.packets will be TCP. : those r the proposed features. if anyone has any ideas or : source that will help me in making this, please let me know. i am : new to all this so any and all help will be appreciated.someone : told my partner in this that the application can be made using ASP : or IIS. is this possible? i think it can probably be made with IIS : but what about ASP? Well, okay, about ASP :o) ASP is a programming language designed for the Internet Information Server (IIS) It's a language that 'generates' HTML pages. You can program in ASP using VBScript. You can also use any database connected thru ODBC using SQL commands. This way you can use a database to store most of your information while you use HTML for the layout and presentation in a web browser. You can also store the information a user enters in the HTML page back into the database. If you want I can send you some example scripts! Hope this helps..
