my winsock component is broken?

hello, while trying to follow a tutorial involving sockets I found out that my winsock component has something wrong with it

what should be:

Code:

---

Public ReadOnly Property State() As MSWinsockLib.StateConstants()

---

is instead:

Code:

---

Public ReadOnly Property State() As Short

---

and this is presenting all sorts of problems such as not being able to get the state of the socket I am working with

so can anyone post a link to a working winsock component, tell me how to fix mine, or embarrass me by telling me im doing something wrong and that the winsock component is fine :p

Did you manually type the code in to the program? If so maybe typed it incorrectly.

No I noticed it when I was trying to get the state of my socket, I saw it threw an error for some reason and then when i looked at the intellisense I saw what I described in my first post

for instance when I type:

Code:

---

If sock.State = sckConnected

---

with "sock" being my socket it comes back with an error

Could you upload the source code? Someone will test it to see if they receive the same errors.

Never mind I found the solution to my problem, I was supposed to have:
StateConstants.sckListening
instead of just sckListening

But also, while trying to fix the problem myself I have discovered there is an inbuilt socket class at system.net.sockets but before I found this out I have been using the MSWinsockLib.dll which some people are saying is just for VB6

so could anyone tell me which is better/which I should be using?
