Using the WInsock Control in VB.NET

[Guest jcvilla]

I need some help in VB.NET regarding the WInsock Control. What happens is that I am making a very advanced messenger in VB6/C++ but then I decided to go to VB.NET but I have a problem with the winsock controll. I can make a client and a server and establish a connection but when I transmit data it executes the Winsock1_DataArrival event in the server but when i put "Winsock1.GetData (data)" it does nothing, it simply stops running the code as if nothing happened. I tryed alot of things, I tryed changing the Variable "Data" type string to type object and when I output it to a messagebox it saya "System.Byte[]". I would really apreciate some reply so that I can continue this messenger. On the meantime I am going to be searching around the Web seeking for answers.

 

You can contact me at jcvilla@coqui.net or g5trooper@coqui.net.

-Thanks

You're not supposed to use the Winsock control in VB.NET.

 

The System.Net namespace contains classes for communications, including TcpClient and TcpListener which are replacements.

I know that.

 

I know I am supposed to use the System.Net.Sockets and I already made the server and the client and I also found a way to use the winsock control. The thing is that I have a program that I already made in VB6 and it uses Winsock control so I converted it and I need to fix the problem, the problem is that like TcpListener what I am receving is in a byte Array which I need to convert to string in order to see the content. I already developed some code to do this and both methods work. Thanks anyways.
