WinSock ?

Dear Friends

I would like to enter in winsock programming , but i am not clear, what is winsock and how it works? The background to entering in the winsock programming is that , i was using timer control in my programms, while my friend suggest me, use winsock rather than timer. Now i am looking to you if any one can provide me material or lead me towards the fully loaded website regarding winsock.

Thanks

they are two different controls. the timer is for local events. the winsock control is for communicating events to another device/computer. The other computer can be a local network, or the Internet. If you don't need to send data to another machine, then you don't need the winsock control at all.
I believe that your friend is misinformed about the control.
