Testing ports

[Gumppy]

Im intrested in making a project that allows a user to scan his own ip address for open ports. The trouble is i dont know how i would go about opening the ip address and actually checking to see if the port is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks =)

Start, Programs, DOS Prompt
Type in: netstat -a

That will show you all the open ports, no idea how to do it via winsock though.

I think it would be a case of trying to open a connection on each port and if an error is raised then you can be sure that it is open.
