sending various objects

Is there a way to send various objects using the TCP socket to the client? (and recieving)

for example, I may wish to send or recieve text, numbers or an arraylist and so on... is there a way to send objects as well as recieving them using the TCP Socket?

I think you'd have to serialize them first. Using Socket.Send() or Socket.BeginSend(), the data you send is an array of bytes.

You may want to look into remoting if you want to send/receive objects.
