File Sharing application

[javijerome]

I'm trying to develop a simple file sharing in visual C# 2008, an application that can send and receive data.please share me some link on how i can start this app. thanks

have you tried google?
why would you want to build another file sharing app? many already exist and work quite well.

i actually found an chat application, that allows 2 pc to chat with each other through a network. and i'm planning to add a file sharing just like what YM does.

Like Jason said, there are a myriad of programs that already do this freely available. Unless you're talking about something uniquely different or better, you're probably wasting your time.

Beyond that, the quality of the answers you get on these forums is proportional to the amount of effort you put in... the lack of effort on your part in your post won't instill a lot of people to help... besides, if you had a _specific_ issue, we like to help -- we will not "do your homework" for you however.

Take a look at

http://www.google.com.

Since you're obviously familiar with Yahoo!,

http://yahoo.com

might help.

I don't intend to sound mean...

i found one from csharphelp.com through google:

http://www.csharphelp.com/2006/10/client-server-simple-file-sharing-and-file-transfer/

and i'm going to integrate that file sharing app to my p2p chat application. what i did was create another project and called it start_up that will serve as a window for choosing which app to run between FileSharing(Client & Server) and Chat.

how can i do that?

i'll be uploading the source codes too.

there isn't a need for "which service to run?" they both need to run. some p2p use a central server to coordinate clients. others have the client operate as a server as well. this is a decentralized model. any one node can go down and the system can still operate.

there isn't a need to ask "which service should run?" both need to: the client and the server. the end user wouldn't make this decision.

I would take a step back and ask;
1. what functionality do you need?
2. does this functionality already exist?
3. if yes, can I integrate it into my project?
4. if no, what does it take to build it?
5. do I have the skill set to build it?

right now it seems like you are blindly re-creating the functionality without any real understanding of why or how to actually do it. When you ask for help it comes across as "can you do my work for me?". That may not be your motive, but that what I'm reading in your questions.
