[VB2010] need a lil help with a launcher

sorry web page crap has been solved for about 30 min ago and about ur comment about looking um how do u think i did most of what i did ive spent prolly 20+ hours googling to get good examples of what im trying to do and the time crap i tried but i cant seem to get it down

and the double post stuff i dont know how that happened as all i did was edit my post

so... how long do u actually think people will keep the launcher open? lol anyways do this, and just make a php that pulls the number of players online, since i assume that your database handles online users, example; online 1 for yes 0 for no, and make the php do like..

Code:

---

SELECT * FROM users WHERE online = '1'

---

etc.

Code:

---

Dim URL as string = "http://192.168.1.1/onlineplayer.php" 'IDK your url..
Dim OnlinePlayers as string = New System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(url)
onlineusersTextbox.text = OnlinePlayers

---

ultimately, you could put a timer into your form, make it start with
timer1.start

on the form load, then change the interval either in the properties panel, or before.after starting the timer in the form load, with;
timer1.interval = '10000'

just an example, make the interval how ever long you want the function to happen in ms.

then double click the timer and under the timer tick event, just put the code to pull the information, etc.

i use it in an example here:
