Hi All,

I am trying to send data from client to server. And getting data back to client. But I am facing following issue.
1. I am unable to display client message in server side.
2. I am unable to get back message from server.

Also I am not getting any error message while compiling the code. I think the issue is with some coding missing in my client-server code. But I am unable to find it. Please help me if you find anything wrong in my code.

Here are my code's
