OK guys, fresh from format havnt even installed graphics drivers... and i still cant download above 20k ( avg of 10-14k) - this annoys me greatly cos im on 1MB Broadband.. i should be getting 120k like i used to.

Im currently doing a speed test thing atm while dealing with crappy tech support people ''have you checked to see if the modems plugged in'' HAVE YOU CHECKED TO SEE IF YOUR BRAINS PLUGGED IN *chain saw noises*

I also out why huge contacts lists arent working, and because i have enough time to explain :

MSN contacts lists are sent like this

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

However... with big contact lists this seems to be happening :

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected]

m Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20G

oes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LS

T [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

Which is incredibly strange :s.. it wont work this way... i think its something to do with the socket im using or something like that, maybe the buffer length, like its cutting off and not putting all the info through my parser routine.

Anyway when i get my pc working again the only thing i can think of to do is create a sign in in VB6 ( using winsocks ) and see if the data still comes all jumbled up :(

If anyone knows why this is happening please lemme know...

back to the tech supports....

:(

i also had that problem in an irc client i made, so try this code

Private Sub sock_DataArrival(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Sock.DataArrival

Static bufferDat As String

Dim dat As String = Sock.GetArrivedText(True)

If Right(dat, 1) <> vbLf OrElse dat.Trim.IndexOf(" ") = -1 Then

bufferDat = bufferDat & dat

Else

Interpret(bufferDat & dat)

bufferDat = ""

End If

End Sub

it basically checks if there is a line feed at the end of the data and that it contains at least a space char, dunno if msn protocol requires the line feed char though

[DayleRees]

it does, ill check it out mate thanks

[DayleRees]

XML if you dont mind can I ask what kind of socket your using? Having just moved up from VB to VB.net i'm using a downloadable winsock control for .net.

IRC and MSN of course use the same protocol so this might help a little.

I'll send msn screename if youd rather talk that way.

Thank You.

[xml]

i use a customized version of these socket classes

[GaMeDtX]

wow this is really cool, i cant wait what the come out will be :)

Aaaaah the wonderfull world of sockets.

Just to make one thing clear. NEVER expect a socket to deliver you the data in the right order. most of the time it goes fine, but it happens you get certain messages later then you might expect.

So you have to program your logic to handle this problem. I've made some multiplayer network games with some friends and this was always a problem we encountered.

:) This is just my opinon please don't get mad at me, I really like the logo but doesn't it look a lot like the Msn logo? is even using the same colours...couldn't Microsoft tell you to take down the logo?

[DayleRees]

nah not unless its a direct rip.

Schmoove thanks for the info bro but order doesnt matter too much here, its just that im splitting the data by lines (vbcrlf ) and FOR every line splitting by words (" "), to catch the commands... so naturaly its a bit annoying when the line breaks in the middle... i dont think its just my ISP connection issues at the moment , as KoL was unable to load his contact list, ill think of something.

[Nehemoth]

I hope for an option to follow up my gmail account as hotmail in MSN Messenger...

[NeoXY]

wow.....it's so sexy looking....KEEP IT UP....if this ever goes to 1.0, I'll be the first to dump MSN...:yes:...

they do?!

I was at Dayles today and to say the least this LST problem has gotta be one of the worst so far (exept for his SSL which hes kind of got a cheesy way round).

The LST comes in the same order everytime and for some reason its the same contacts which are also cut off, not all the online contacts are there either.

We had a Jab at messing with the buffer sizes etc which was interesting but no Goal. Could either be the Socket or the server :no: ( could be the server ramming too much info down the socket at one time, either way will be intersting to see how he solves that one).
