I have started my first client server application in VB.NET i have used some code from MSDN for a basic client server application which can send a string over the stream by converting it into bytes which is then retranslated at the other side.

It seems pretty simple so far however i need to be able to send more useful objects over the stream such as data tables from my sql server... Is there a way for me to convert my data table into bytes to be reconstructed at the other side?

Thanks!
