[TUTORIAL] making a simple pinger in VB [TUTORIAL] - umami smokes shisha - Nov 4, 2009
Hello, my name is UMAMI and I am new to visual basics, and have not seen too many good tutorials on HF, so I decided to post on how to make a simple VB pinger or dos. this tut WILL include pictures to be more noob friendly!
Requirements
-any version of VB preferably 2008 + -- http://www.microsoft.com/express/vb/Default.aspx
-at least a little bit of knowledge in coding
-creativity
after you have installed your selected version of visual basics, run it.
once the client has opened, head over to the top left corner where it says file and click "New Project..." and select the settings like so.
Spoiler (Click to View) and press continue
You should now have a blank form🤗
you can rescale this form to the size you want, but being that it is just a simple program..lets start smallish. On the left side of the Vb client there should be a toolbox filled with tools that you can use. Lets start by finding the TextBox tool (the tools are in alphabetical order). Place the TextBox some where near the top of your form and make it not too big.
Now look on the ToolBox for a tool called Button, it should be near the top of the list. Once you found it, place two buttons onto your form.
single click on Button1 and follow the settings as shown
Spoiler (Click to View) and do the same to the second button, but name it "Stop".
Now scroll down the ToolBox until you find a tool named Timer and place it to the side of your buttons(the Timer won't be visible once this is all finished). Make sure on the right side that the timers "Enabled" is False, and to set the Interval to 250.
HERE COMES THE ACTUAL CODING PART!
double click on all of the tools on the form, including the time which is at the bottom below the form, and make the code look exactly like this
Spoiler (Click to View)
if you would like to just copy and paste the whole code here it is
Spoiler (Click to View)
I'll add a second spoiler with the same code to explain each bit!
Spoiler (Click to View)
TO finish up you can test your new application by pressing F5, customize it a bit, or save and exit VB and enjoy your new but SIMPLE pinger👍
Post if you liked it or if you feel like I should add/change some bits...

what kind of a problem is it?
make sure you don't copy and paste the one with the comments but the one above it :p
or just copy the bits you need to add and paste where needed.

Very nice , Thank You!!

I'm just wondering, is there any way to get the "result" (latency in this case) to a textbox?

I am still new to VB but perhaps both methods work? maybe one better than the other... but I once I learn a bit more I am going to post a tut on how to make a more effective pinger ^.^
thanks for the comments people!
EDIT: Although no one has posted about it yet, sorry for not putting the coding in code tags! It won't let me edit my first post =\
