    What do you mean by "main function"? Winsock is used to establish connection between 2 or more computers and send data between them.

    BTW, Welcome to VBF!

    Whoops pino didnt read the title,


    DONT use winsock in .Net there are new classes involved which is removing the need for winsock.

    yes it works the same, but .Net isnt designed to ahndle winsock, winsock doesnt coem with .Net adn you will only have it installed if you used Vb 6

    Steer away from it
