multiple connections vb.net

[VITAS]

Hi
Im trying to program a irc client and got stuck in trying to establish
multiple server connections. The core problem is, that i dont know how many
connections i will be using so i tried a array with the type tcpclient, but
it doesnt work.

my code:

Public Class IRCtest



Private con As New TcpClient <-it works with a normal var but not if i try
to make it an array.



Private Sub btncon_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btncon.Click

If btncon.Text = "Connect" Then

servcount = servcount + 1

servers(0, 0) = boxserver.Text

con.Connect(box server.Text, boxport.Text)

Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII. GetBytes(": NICK " + txtnick.Text
+ Chr(13))

con.GetStream.W rite(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Lengt h)

sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII. GetBytes(": USER VITAS 0 * :VITAS IRC" + Chr(13))

con.GetStream.W rite(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Lengt h)

nicklist.Nodes. Add(servcount + ",0", boxserver.Text)

btncon.Text = "Disconnect "

Else

con.Client.Clos e()

btncon.Text = "Connect"

End If

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByV al sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles reader.Tick

If con.GetStream.D ataAvailable Then <- this is a problem if i use arrays (it
gives a error saying, that i cant use undeclared values or something like
that)

output()

End If

End Sub

Private Sub nicklist_NodeMo useClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.Windows. Forms.TreeNodeM ouseClickEventA rgs) Handles
nicklist.NodeMo useClick

Dim nodepath() = Split(",", nicklist.Select edNode.Name)

txtstatus.Clear ()

txtstatus.Text = serverstxt(node path(0), nodepath(1)) <- ive got a tree view
control and try to make a tree of servers / channels only showing the text
of the marked one

End Sub

End Class

Re: multiple connections vb.net

Why not using an Array List and adding to it the new TcpClient object? Then,
when the coms between client-server are finished removing it from the list.
I am doing this with sockets and it works perfect.
