I'm learning VB, the source-code will help me a lot!

[noize]

hi, me c# programmer, have no idea about vb. also new here want to ask that, is this software will only check ports or can open ports also?

No program will /directly/ open remote ports in the way you're probably thinking about.

I have written a port scanner in VB for the community's own use.[/size]

Not a bad effort, shame about the language :Money-Mouth: you should make it multi-threaded, not only will it speed up the scan time, but it will also make the application more stable by separating the stack memory.

I'm pretty sure that the stack space allocated for the process is the same for all threads.

I don't think VB supports multithreading, however.

Hence shame about the language lol, if you create a separate thread, create a scanning function and run that on the new thread it will have a different allocation and run faster/smoother.

I don't think so, indeed. He could use multiple threads to scan ports, but using _one_ thread for the whole scanning fuction won't make it much faster at all. Still, when you say it will have a different allocation, I don't know what you're talking about.

I think myself VB is a sloppy language, indeed, but after all, he's free to code in whatever he likes to. I'm a Batch programmer, so, who am I to judge?

Yes, VB does suck but I wasn't having a go it was a suggestion, it will make it slightly faster but the main thing is, is program stability. And different allocation is meaning memory allocation, when you start coding in languages like C and C++ you'll understand this (dealing with memory on the heap and stack etc)

I know what the stack and the heap are, but different threads use the same stack. Yet, this has got nothing to do with program stability.

If a separate created thread is used, and if attached to a scanning function would separate it from the rest of the program memory allocation wise and it would make it more stable and probably faster as the programs multithreading can simultaneously do separate things independently. That's the reason most decent port scanners are multithreaded.
