I am currently a student at Sentinel Career Center's CCNT program (Computer Communications Network Technician). I was hoping to get some help making a simple chat room using visual basic from scratch. It has previously been suggested to me that I should use c4f p2p toolkit to do this. What fun is that though? I want to make it without outside programs but i havn't a clue how to make the chat room run in my classes LAN. No, I am not using this for evil, netsend in our class is not disabled (this was from another post I saw earlier I just wanted to clarify this). I want a simple program to display usernames and messages next to them that say 3 people viewing my program could read.
could you please give me some general direction as to what things i will need to look up to make this work.
I'm not looking for someone to write the code for me just to tell me what I would need to research and put the code together.
here is a simple layout of the program when it is run (what I hope it will be like)
