Hy,
i have made a program who use a TCPClient for comunication by socket with
other system. It's wok in 3 location but in the one I have to use a proxy
(Squid) for access the destination.

MyProgram ---> SquidProxy ---> DestinationServer

How I can tell to my TCPClient using the proxy for soket connetction?
I have found many information about the webproxy connection but none about
socket connection.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

You can't. That's not something that's dealt with at the TCP protocol
level. It's an application protocol thing.

Ideally, your proxy will handle this transparently. But if it doesn't,
you need to find out what proxy protocol the proxy server uses and write
your application to support that protocol.
