What do you mean by "main function"? Winsock is used to establish connection between 2 or more computers and send data between them.
BTW, Welcome to VBF!
Whoops pino didnt read the title,
DONT use winsock in .Net :) there are new classes involved which is removing the need for winsock.
Got to this link and download the 101 vb.Net examples. In there there is an application reagrding sockects in .NET

socket....macam sutiable for intranet woh(am i right?).......
the winsonck is quite similar to socket...........socket and winsock, which one is better?
socket, its more complex, winsock is being phased out :)
the vb.net winsock work same as vb winsock? can the dataarrival method receive the data from client and send it to another client?
yes it works the same, but .Net isnt designed to ahndle winsock, winsock doesnt coem with .Net adn you will only have it installed if you used Vb 6 :(
Steer away from it
