Hello friends I am trying to send message through winsock...

And plz give me little info about port also
Thank you very much.....

Look for the _DataArrival event

use Code like this:

Private Sub WinSockTCP_DataArrival( ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Stream = ""
    WinSockTCP(Index).GetData Message
    'Message (a String) is holding your message now

End Sub

How can i check whether it is conncected or not...
Can you send all the steps for sending data plz...
Thanx

Whenever I start listen method its state is not changing frm 6(connecting state)
So I cant do any think but connecting

The Server should .Listen, then the client is doing the .Connect, this message will raise the ConnectionRequest_Event by the server, who should .Accept the connection. Now the clinet will change it's state to 7 (connected).
And then you can send from either side!
