Hi

I have a VB ActiveX dll app running on ourwebserver. We have a customer that needs to have an XML doc sent to their platform.

Currently they have an app that uses the Winsock control to SendData to their IPAddress using specific Port no. I presume they have a winsock listening on that port at the other end? or coudl they have something else?

I understand how the winsock CONTROL works. However I dont know what is the best way to implement this requirement to send XML doc to their platform as I presume you cannot add a Winsock control to ActiveX DLL (as there is no user interface forms). Do I have to use the Winsock API (I'm not not keen on this as it looks time consuming)? I am familiar with using the XMLHTTP object to POST data. Is this the same concept? Or do I have to stick to Winsock as this is what is listening on the client server?

Many thanks
