TCP troubles

[darknuke]

Example:

 

   Private Sub accept()

           server = New System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener(txtReceivePort.Text)

           server.Start()

           connect = server.AcceptTcpClient

           connect.GetStream.BeginWrite(convert.toBytes(":: Connected"), 0, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetByteCount(":: Connected"), Nothing, Nothing)     

   End Sub

   Private Sub somesub()

   connect.GetStream.BeginWrite(convert.toBytes(":: Received Message"), 0, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetByteCount(":: Received Message"), Nothing, Nothing)   

   End Sub

 

In accept(), it can write to the stream just fine, but when in somesub(), it says 'the instance is not set to an object' when it tries to write.

 

How can I pass the connect object?

where are you calling somesub from?

[darknuke]

Private Sub sendMessage_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles sendMessage.KeyPress

someSub()

End Sub
