I am trying to create a Binaries reader, and a little confused with how to get a complete list from a news server.

This is what I have

txtinfo = my Textbox where I want to show it.


This is the connect to server part


Dim mysocket As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)
Dim server As String = "news.usenetserver.com"
Dim serverport As Long = 119
Dim ipsolve As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve(server)
Dim ipend As New IPEndPoint(ipsolve.AddressList(0), serverport)
Dim b(1024) As Byte
Dim mytext As Byte

Dim msg1 As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("AUTHINFO user myname" & vbCrLf)
Dim msg2 As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("AUTHINFO pass mypassword" & vbCrLf)

mysocket.Connect(ipend)
mysocket.Receive(b, 1024, SocketFlags.Partial)
txtinfo.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b)
mysocket.Send(msg1, 0, msg1.Length, SocketFlags.None)
mysocket.Receive(b, 1024, SocketFlags.Partial)
txtinfo.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b)
mysocket.Send(msg2, 0, msg2.Length, SocketFlags.None)
mysocket.Receive(b, 1024, SocketFlags.Partial)
txtinfo.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the command I am trying to do, but don't know how to get the whole list with repeating the last part of the code the whole time. There must be someway to do it, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone knows?? Thanks so much..


test="LIST"
Dim msg3 As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(test & vbCrLf)
mysocket.Send(msg3, 0, msg3.Length, SocketFlags.None)
mysocket.Receive(b, 1024, SocketFlags.None)
txtinfo.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b)
