I've searched multiple forums and read the MSDN and for the life of me can't figure out how to make a TCP server.
I read that an asynchronous method works faster than a synchronous method, but it also seems a lot harder to program.
Can anyone write up a small example that lets me connect via telnet, then when I send a test message to the server, the server will send back the same message in all caps?
This should be enough for me to get a grasp on it :wave:
Asynchronous methods aren't faster than synchronous methods. They both do exactly the same thing so they take the same amount of time. The difference is that synchronous methods block, i.e won't let execution continue, until they return, while asynchronous methods return immediately and let execution continue while the operation is performed in the background.
What do you mean when you say "connect through telnet"? Telnet is an application layer protocol, it specifies the syntax and semantics of telnet communication. There is really no such thing as connecting through telnet in this context.
I'll throw together the example you are asking for, hold on.
