Question on Pausing

[laroberts]

I am doing a TelNet deal with VB.NET however I am having one issue, the user name and password is getting sent to fast. How can I slow it down or make the program wait for the telnet to ask me for the user name and then password? Code below:

 

 

Private Sub TelnetGuiApp_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

m_Socket = New ASOCKETLib.SocketClass

m_Constants = New Constants

m_Socket.Protocol = m_Constants.asPROTOCOL_TELNET

 

'Host For FTP Location

Dim TXT_HOST As String

TXT_HOST = "library.uah.edu"

m_Socket.Connect(TXT_HOST, 23)

TXT_RESULT.Text = m_Socket.LastError.ToString() & " (" & m_Socket.GetErrorDescription(m_Socket.LastError) & ")"

 

' User Name For Host

Dim TXT_COMMAND As String

TXT_COMMAND = "guest"

m_Socket.SendString(TXT_COMMAND, 1)

TXT_RESULT.Text = m_Socket.LastError.ToString() & " (" & m_Socket.GetErrorDescription(m_Socket.LastError) & ")"

 

 

' Password For Host

Dim TXT_PASSWORD As String

TXT_PASSWORD = "5345"

m_Socket.SendString(TXT_PASSWORD, 1)

TXT_RESULT.Text = m_Socket.LastError.ToString() & " (" & m_Socket.GetErrorDescription(m_Socket.LastError) & ")"

 

 

End Sub

Is there a synchronous function you can call on the socket that will wait for those requests to be received? Otherwise, you could just call Thread.Sleep to add your own delay, although hard coding a delay is not the most desirable method.

Not sure

 

Yeah I tried the thread method but that really did not work, I was thinking I could do some kind of timer or something but I am not sure how I would do it.

If you wanted to use a Timer you would have to put the code that sends the UserName and Password in a separate method that you could call from the Timer's Tick event handler.
