Questions about WebServer Component (wodWebServer / wodWebServer.NET)

by Steven Picard, Saturday, April 21, 2007, 18:08 (6426 days ago)

I had 3 questions I hope you could kindly answer:

1) What is the main difference between the WebServer component and the HttpDLX component?

2) Could a VB 6 app using the WebServer component handle a load of say, 1000 simultaneous connections (let's say I do a single quick database look-up and return a page around 2K in size)? I know this is a generic question but I am a little worried about VB's and the WebServer components ability to handle many simultaneous connections.

3) Do you know of a quick (and hopefully cheap way) of making a VB app using the WebServer component into a Window's Service?

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,
Steven C Picard

Hi Steven,


1. Main difference between wodWebServer and wodHttpDLX is that wodWebServer is server http and https component and wodHttpDLX is client http and https component.

2. I cannot guaranty 100 that it will work but it should. Why don't you give a try and download wodWebServer. You have 30 days trial period and when you install our component you will found samples in wodWebServer Samples folder.

3. Making wodWebServer as windows service is probably same as making windows service for other VB6 project. I have found on Microsoft msdn page how to make windows service in VB6, here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnaractivex/html/msdn_ntsrvocx.asp

Maybe you should read also warning from Microsoft about windows service in VB6 here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175948

Making service in VS 2003 or VS 2005 is much easier. VB.NET is pretty same for usage as VB6. If you can switch to VB.NET you can follow instruction on this page how to make windows service:
http://abstractvb.com/code.asp?A=1082

If you need and additional help or instruction please contact us and we will try to help you.

Hope I helped.


Regards,
Drazen

Don't be fooled by the cost, it's value and quality far exceeds the price being charged!
