Socket's and COM

Hi.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum but PLEASE DO move it to another forum if necessary.

I am not good with C/C++ - I dont know anything/much about it. I program in .NET and other languages. In .NET I mainly program in C#

I am trying to access IR and send signals to devices (non computer/server)

I have almost found a way but get an exception when doing this:

Code:

---

Socket theSock = new Socket(AddressFamily.Irda, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Unspecified);

IPEndPoint ipep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.None.Address, 0);
theSock.Connect(ipep); //HERE

---

when connecting I get the exception "The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call"

Now, I am trying to connect to a device (TV/VCR) but since that has no ports or IP Address, I used IPAddress.None and port 0. But this is the result I get.

I am using a computer (mobile device really) which has IR. I wish to open a socket, send any data I want in byte[] and then close the socket when needed to.

Does anyone know or can help me translate/create that function? Perhaps even you may be able to help me sort out the exception?

I found this on MSDN but have no clue/idea what each command means!:
