Getting Data Problem

[Lanc1988]

I have been working on making an IRC client in visual basic.net using the WinSock control.

I have been able to send messages on it and i can see them on another client that I logged into.

But for the textbox (multiline) that im using to display the messages, it isn't displaying any messages i send or any that i send from another client. So basically all i can do is send messages from my client im working on and can see them on another one. Even the messages I send using the one im working on don't show in the textbox.

Here is my get data code:

    Private Sub sckIRC_DataArrival(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As AxMSWinsockLib.DMSWinsockControlEvents_DataArrivalEvent) Handles sckIRC.DataArrival
        On Error Resume Next

        Dim sRecv As String

        sckIRC.GetData(sRecv) 'Put the data recieved into the string

        'Play ping pong with the server
        If Split(sRecv, " ")(0) = "PING" Then
            sckIRC.SendData("PONG " & Split(sRecv, " ")(1))
        End If

        'Update the buffer
        textMessages.Text = sRecv & vbCrLf
        textMessages.SelectionStart = Len(textMessages.Text)
    End Sub

Maybe Im using the wrong type of control to display the messages sent and recieved? Im using a textbox and setting it to Multiline.
