You need to have a more specific question, its up to you what type of login the bot will have

Chat
Binary
BNLS

Depends on what you want in a bot.

Really,well whitch do you think is the easiest?for now I just want the thing to connect.

[Crypticflare]

Well depends on the skill of the coder

Right now I'm still writing a Chat Client to some the Protocal is quite simple, but for me I'm still new at learning it.

If you want to go simple and easy, a Chat client might be an idea to start off with.

ok ya well.I'm new at righting a bot period.
well I need the code.I could figure it out myself probably.I have 2 people helping me so all I need right now is a code.I'll probably wide up asking for a BNLS sooner or later.I just need a vb code to get me off my knees. :-/

Have you done any VB work before? Like some of the users here said

Your trying to run before learning to walk, or somthing like that. I'd suggest buying some type of VB book and studying it if you haven't programmed before.

learn the language first

learn the language first

Actually its not completely necessary to learn the VB language to make the prog. My uncle created a prog that got published in a magazine and all that good stuff and still doesnt know the language, he knew enough to make it but still doesnt "know the language" basically he only made it to show Cannon that they didnt fund the class for nothing (Cannon pays for employess classes). But thats not to say that knowing some of the language wouldnt be beneficial.

Since everyone is stuck up ill help you.
When you connect to Battle.net on port 6112 send ascii char 3, then your username, vbcrlf, and password, the rest is easy, everything else you send is message then vbcrlf

I think their replies were quite appropriate, given that he seemed to be quite clueless in general.  Bot development may be a decent way to learn programming (though I don't subscribe to this belief personally), but trying to learn everything you need from asking question is, IMO, a slow way to go.  Far better to use questions to augment some other source of information, e.g. "At line X in the VB greetbot, why does it do Y?"  A good response to such a question would clarify both what the effect of that is in VB, and what purpose the statement serves to the overall program.

Now that the decision has been made to start with a chatgate client (which is indeed easier than a binarygate), I'd suggest getting and looking through the VB greetbot.  I'm sure it's still around somewhere, and it'll provide a good starting point with network code and parser already built-in.

Yep, it can be found here: http://botdev.valhallalegends.com/files/vbgreetbot.zip
