Winsock Control for VB.NET

[John]

Hello,

I currently have Visual Basic .NET 2003 Standard Edition. I would like to
develop a standard exe which should use the Winsock Control for VB.NET. I
found some tutorials about it, started to work, and then found out I
couldn't find the winsock control at all. Is it there by default and am I
just missing something? (Running WinXP Home, VB.NET Standard, no other VS
programs installed) Or could I download it from MS if it isn't? I found a
resource on the web and tried that, but it said I hadn't gotten the license
for it. So I couldn't use it...Then I searched MS site itself, nothing in
downloads, so I doubt they have it, but maybe I've missed something.
Suggestions welcome....

PS: It would also be helpful to know the latest version out there. From what
I hear, that's 6. Is that correct?

Hello,

You miss that you do not even need any winsock "control" in dotnet ! Now you
have some classes that makes it ! System.Net.Sockets....

Have a nice day

Look up: Socket class; TclListener class; TcpClient class; etc.

At this point you will have to write your own using the provided classes.

I've just been through this process to 'build my own' Winsock control with
the functionality I need.
