Hi,
As you know there's no mswinsck.ocx ActiveX control in VB.NET 2005 or
08 by default, but it exists in VB6. However i can add this old
control to my VB 2005 toolbox with no problem by extracting from VB6's
cabinets, but when using inside my project, i get some syntax problems
which runs fine in VB6. I do not want to go back VB6.

Is it healthy and supported using mswinsck.ocx Winsock control in
VB.NET projects?

And is System.Net.Sockets the unique alternative for this Winsock
control and is it completely equilavent?

Thanks

You want to use System.Net.Sockets.  The winsock control sucked in VB6,
and it sucks even worse in .NET ;)

Dear Tom, Thanks for the information. However actually my intention
was to program a small application that consist of 2 parts, server and
client for sending any file over the WAN, not LAN. Do you have a
simple code that demonstrates that on .NET using sockets class?

Thanks

Sure...  MS has a fairly good set of examples.  On both sync and async
usage (start here):

There are articles off of here, for both server and client usage.

Thanks, i'll check and there are similar samples in 101 samples page.
I saw some good Winsock 6 samples using mswinsck.ocx but it's hard to
get the working code in .NET environment, beleive. Maybe there's
a .NET wrapper for legacy Winsock 6, even it can be added to .NET
toolbox as ActiveX control, surprise.
