I am trying to write a vb.net program that runs at command prompt. And loops while logging into telnet server. I get an dart.telnet.dataexception error that reads
"dart.telnet.dataexception: inner exception thrown before finding specified delimiters. My code looks like this: (error happens at
TelnetControl.TerminalType = "vt100")


Imports Dart.Telnet
Module Module1

  Sub Main()
    Dim intLoopIndex As Integer
    For intLoopIndex = 0 To 100
      opentelnet(intLoopIndex)
      System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000)
          Next intLoopIndex
  End Sub

  Private Sub opentelnet(ByVal intLoopIndex As Integer)
    Dim TcpSession As Dart.Telnet.TcpSession = New Dart.Telnet.TcpSession()
    TcpSession.RemoteEndPoint.HostNameOrAddress = "myserver.com"
TcpSession.RemoteEndPoint.Port = 23
Try
TelnetControl.TerminalType = "vt100"
TelnetControl.Connect(TcpSession)
TelnetControl.ReadToDelimiter("Name:")
TelnetControl.Write("username" + vbCrLf)
TelnetControl.ReadToDelimiter("Password:")
TelnetControl.Write("password" + vbCrLf)
System.Console.WriteLine(TelnetControl.ReadToDelimiter(":"))
Catch Ex As Exception       System.Console.WriteLine(Ex.ToString, False)
End Try
End Sub

  Public m_Telnet As Dart.Telnet.Telnet

  Public ReadOnly Property TelnetControl() As Dart.Telnet.Telnet
    Get
      m_Telnet = New Dart.Telnet.Telnet
      Return m_Telnet
    End Get
    End Property
End Module

Hello,

Does this occur on the first time through the loop, or one of the subsequent calls to opentelnet()?

Is TelnetControl supposed to be a new telnet control each time the loop begins again after sleeping?

Happens first time it runs.

Telenet control does not have to be a new control. as long as I can use it over and over again.

Hello,

I've copied your code into a VS2010 project, and was unable to reproduce your issue with our server. What is the inner exception?

Hello,

That exception specifies that it is failing at a ReadToDelimiter call; can you step/break through your code to determine which one?

Your project name specifies MUD; is this a server we can connect to to test against? We may be failing after an optioncode response.

Are you able to connect to your server with the included Telnet Client sample?

Can you provide us with a trace log, as would be provided from the Telnet Client sample?

Line error tells me it failed on TelnetControl.TerminalType = "vt100". But it could be incorrect.

included telnet sample works okay. But I need to use TelnetControl.ReadToDelimiter("Name:")
(i thinbk sample uses something else)

Yes I can give you access to mud. But I would prefer to send you server address, port, user/pass in a private email. How can I get you that info?

I will try the step/break also and get back tou you.

Yeah, just with the call stack specified in the exception, it couldn't be on the .TerminalType line.

You can send it into support@dart.com

What is the version listed on the dll you're referencing?
