1. Chapter 22 – Networking: Streams-Based Sockets and Datagrams Outline22.1 Introduction22.2 Establishing a Simple Server (Using Stream Sockets)22.3 Establishing a Simple Client (Using Stream Sockets)22.4 Client/Server Interaction with Stream-Socket Connections22.5 Connectionless Client/Server Interaction with Datagrams22.6 Client/Server Tic-Tac-Toe Using a Multithreaded Server

2. 22.1 Introduction • Information system • The Internet • Networking technologies • Client-server relationship • Socket-based communications • Stream sockets • Packet-based communications • Datagram sockets

3. 22.2 Establishing a Simple Server (Using Stream Sockets) • Five step process: • Create an object of TcpListener • Binds server to port number • Call Start method • Begin connection request • Make connection between server and client • Returns a Socket object • Processing phase • Methods Receive and Send • Connection-termination phase • Method Close • Multithreaded servers

4. 22.3 Establishing a Simple Client (Using Stream Sockets) • Four step process: • Create object of TcpClient • Method Connect • Get a NetworkStream • WriteByte and ReadByte • Processing phase • Client and server communicate • Close connection • Method Close

5. 22.4 Client/Server Interaction with Steam-Socket Connections • Client/server application • Client request connection • Server application sends array of bytes • Communicate visually via TextBoxes

6. 1 // Fig. 22.1: Server.cs 2 // Set up a Server that will receive a connection from a client, 3 // send a string to the client, and close the connection. 4 5 using System; 6 using System.Drawing; 7 using System.Collections; 8 using System.ComponentModel; 9 using System.Windows.Forms; 10 using System.Threading; 11 using System.Net.Sockets; 12 using System.IO; 13 14 // server that awaits client connections (one at a time) and 15 // allows a conversation between client and server 16 public class Server : System.Windows.Forms.Form 17 { 18 private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox inputTextBox; 19 private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox displayTextBox; 20 private Socket connection; 21 private Thread readThread; 22 23 private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; 24 private NetworkStream socketStream; 25 private BinaryWriter writer; 26 private BinaryReader reader; 27 28 // default constructor 29 public Server() 30 { 31 InitializeComponent(); 32 Server.cs

7. Will invoke method RunServer Thread will accept connections from clients Terminate all threads Method Exit closes all thread associated with application Read strings and send via method Write 33 // create a new thread from the server 34 readThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( RunServer ) ); 35 readThread.Start(); 36 } 37 38 // Visual Studio .NET generated code 39 40 [STAThread] 41 static void Main() 42 { 43 Application.Run( new Server() ); 44 } 45 46 protected void Server_Closing( 47 object sender, CancelEventArgs e ) 48 { 49 System.Environment.Exit( System.Environment.ExitCode ); 50 } 51 52 // sends the text typed at the server to the client 53 protected void inputTextBox_KeyDown( 54 object sender, KeyEventArgs e ) 55 { 56 // sends the text to the client 57 try 58 { 59 if ( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter && connection != null ) 60 { 61 writer.Write( "SERVER>>> " + inputTextBox.Text ); 62 63 displayTextBox.Text += 64 "\r\nSERVER>>> " + inputTextBox.Text; 65 Server.cs

8. TcpListener to pick request from user at port 5000 Gets TcpListener to begin waiting for requests Infinite loop to establish connection request by clients 66 // if the user at the server signaled termination 67 // sever the connection to the client 68 if ( inputTextBox.Text == "TERMINATE" ) 69 connection.Close(); 70 71 inputTextBox.Clear(); 72 } 73 } 74 catch ( SocketException ) 75 { 76 displayTextBox.Text += "\nError writing object"; 77 } 78 } // inputTextBox_KeyDown 79 80 // allows a client to connect and displays the text it sends 81 public void RunServer() 82 { 83 TcpListener listener; 84 int counter = 1; 85 86 // wait for a client connection and display the text 87 // that the client sends 88 try 89 { 90 // Step 1: create TcpListener 91 listener = new TcpListener( 5000 ); 92 93 // Step 2: TcpListener waits for connection request 94 listener.Start(); 95 96 // Step 3: establish connection upon client request 97 while ( true ) 98 { 99 displayTextBox.Text = "Waiting for connection\r\n"; 100 Server.cs

9. Returns a Socket upon successful connection Pass the new socket as argument to NetworkStream For use with writing or reading data Indicate that a connection was received Execute until server receive connection termination 101 // accept an incoming connection 102 connection = listener.AcceptSocket(); 103 104 // create NetworkStream object associated with socket 105 socketStream = new NetworkStream( connection ); 106 107 // create objects for transferring data across stream 108 writer = new BinaryWriter( socketStream ); 109 reader = new BinaryReader( socketStream ); 110 111 displayTextBox.Text += "Connection " + counter + 112 " received.\r\n"; 113 114 // inform client that connection was successfull 115 writer.Write( "SERVER>>> Connection successful" ); 116 117 inputTextBox.ReadOnly = false; 118 string theReply = ""; 119 120 // Step 4: read String data sent from client 121 do 122 { 123 try 124 { 125 // read the string sent to the server 126 theReply = reader.ReadString(); 127 128 // display the message 129 displayTextBox.Text += "\r\n" + theReply; 130 } 131 Server.cs

10. Close connection between client and server and waits for next request 132 // handle exception if error reading data 133 catch ( Exception ) 134 { 135 break; 136 } 137 138 } while ( theReply != "CLIENT>>> TERMINATE" && 139 connection.Connected ); 140 141 displayTextBox.Text += 142 "\r\nUser terminated connection"; 143 144 // Step 5: close connection 145 inputTextBox.ReadOnly = true; 146 writer.Close(); 147 reader.Close(); 148 socketStream.Close(); 149 connection.Close(); 150 151 ++counter; 152 } 153 } // end try 154 155 catch ( Exception error ) 156 { 157 MessageBox.Show( error.ToString() ); 158 } 159 160 } // end method RunServer 161 162 } // end class Server Server.cs

12. Like Server object, Client object creates Thread to handling incoming messages 30 // default constructor 31 public Client() 32 { 33 InitializeComponent(); 34 35 readThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( RunClient ) ); 36 readThread.Start(); 37 } 38 39 // Visual Studio .NET-generated code 40 41 [STAThread] 42 static void Main() 43 { 44 Application.Run( new Client() ); 45 } 46 47 protected void Client_Closing( 48 object sender, CancelEventArgs e ) 49 { 50 System.Environment.Exit( System.Environment.ExitCode ); 51 } 52 53 // sends text the user typed to server 54 protected void inputTextBox_KeyDown ( 55 object sender, KeyEventArgs e ) 56 { 57 try 58 { 59 if ( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter ) 60 { 61 writer.Write( "CLIENT>>> " + inputTextBox.Text ); 62 Client.cs

13. Method to connect and receive data from the Server and send data to the Server Port number must match port number set for connection on server Method Connect used to establish connection Also considered the loopback IP address First argument is name of the server 63 displayTextBox.Text += 64 "\r\nCLIENT>>> " + inputTextBox.Text; 65 66 inputTextBox.Clear(); 67 } 68 } 69 catch ( SocketException ioe ) 70 { 71 displayTextBox.Text += "\nError writing object"; 72 } 73 74 } // end method inputTextBox_KeyDown 75 76 // connect to server and display server-generated text 77 public void RunClient() 78 { 79 TcpClient client; 80 81 // instantiate TcpClient for sending data to server 82 try 83 { 84 displayTextBox.Text += "Attempting connection\r\n"; 85 86 // Step 1: create TcpClient and connect to server 87 client = new TcpClient(); 88 client.Connect( "localhost", 5000 ); 89 90 // Step 2: get NetworkStream associated with TcpClient 91 output = client.GetStream(); 92 93 // create objects for writing and reading across stream 94 writer = new BinaryWriter( output ); 95 reader = new BinaryReader( output ); 96 Client.cs

14. Loop until client receive connection-terminate message To obtain next message from the server 97 displayTextBox.Text += "\r\nGot I/O streams\r\n"; 98 99 inputTextBox.ReadOnly = false; 100 101 // loop until server signals termination 102 do 103 { 104 105 // Step 3: processing phase 106 try 107 { 108 // read message from server 109 message = reader.ReadString(); 110 displayTextBox.Text += "\r\n" + message; 111 } 112 113 // handle exception if error in reading server data 114 catch ( Exception ) 115 { 116 System.Environment.Exit( 117 System.Environment.ExitCode ); 118 } 119 } while( message != "SERVER>>> TERMINATE" ); 120 121 displayTextBox.Text += "\r\nClosing connection.\r\n"; 122 123 // Step 4: close connection 124 writer.Close(); 125 reader.Close(); 126 output.Close(); 127 client.Close(); 128 Application.Exit(); 129 } 130 Client.cs
