I have a server & a client. The client is my Android phone. The server is my PC running Windows.
I’m needing to find out the best programmable method of sending a short string to the PC and having it displayed real-time.
Please keep in mind the only languages I can program in on my server-side is VB.NET, C#, and C++ (and my experience with them is in that order).
Edit:
I don’t care about security or anything. Both devices will be on a private wifi network. I can’t rely on 3rd party applications though, considering the computer running the server will have very little RAM.
You can write a .NET project which communicates with sockets. Your PC could listen to a given port and your phone would access that port. This article might help you to learn more about .NET socket programming and you will be able to use C# or Visual Basic as you want.
