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

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.
