winsock in vb.net

[Guest]

hello

I noticed the winsock control is not in VB.net.
Is this replaced by the Socket class in VB.net?

How different is socket programming with VB.net compared to VB6?

It's different because .NET's sockets are a different API. Is that what you
wanted to hear? I suggest to take a look at the samples on the Web and in
the documentation to see the differences.

Hi,

It is different, and, yes, you use the .NET.Socket class. However, porting
Winsock ocx (VB6) code to .NET isn't too difficult. Did you have a specific
question?
