Enabling Winsock

[Brin]

Really easy question...
You know that WinSock sign, 2 computers linked together with a chord...
Well Im trying to add that to my vb menu but i dunno which reference and such it is in.... When i download something from their site i see the image and now im trying to add it to my own program...

Any ideas
Ty!

And something else that I just remembered...

Can I send like a command from a server to a client
As in if their winsock end gets the data n then the program will end?? Or something like that
can someone help me out with that because Im not very sure, first time really trying winsock for something real in a program, not just to test...

To add Winsock to your project, go: Project>>Components...>>Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0, Tick the box and click OK. It will now appear in the menu on the left hand side of your screen.

And to your second part; Yes, Winsock can send data back and forth between client and server.

Theres plenty of tutorials on the web these days about how to set up a Winsock connection and how to pass data. Especially on Planet Source Code.

Anyway, Hope thats helped a bit. Just ask if you'd like to know more
