xml through winsock?

Please give me some basic explanation how to send and receive xml strings. Winsock? MSXML?

split()

if you want to send the XML data over the internet or a network you will need the winsock control, or the winsock API. Have a look at some tutorials theres loads.

Do you know how to connect/send data with Winsock?

The first string would look something like this:

VB Code:

Dim strPacket As String
    
    strPacket = "<VSDMsg>0...................192.168.1.1.....................</VSDMsg>"
    'periods (.) represent Chr(0) in the port monitor/packet sniffer.
    strPacket = Replace$(strPacket, ".", Chr$(0))
    
    'You have to connect to the server before you can send data using TCP.
    winsock1.SendData strPacket

I don't have a lot of experience with packet sniffers but one thing that puzzles me is why there is a dash in the hex representation on the left side?

Code:

Thank you blues bro, this is enough.
The dash is from some winsock monitor app.

It's not enought. The Protocol is IPv4 and after connection become TCP ??????? Well, this maybe will not happend on LAN........... OK, I have some responce, how to catch him ?
