Need winsock for asp

[WarrenW]

Hi Everyone,

I need to use a tcp socket control such as winsock on a classic asp web site to connect to an IP/port provided. All it does is connect and disconnect so I know if the application is running or not. I see ones that can do this but are over $100. Does anyone know of a cheaper solution? I need a timeout feature so it doesn't site there forever trying if it is not available.

Thanks!

Consider Dimac w3Sockets. But blocking operations of any length tie up an ASP thread, always a bad thing.

Thanks. I looked at the examples on your site and it does not show how to tell if your connection was made or not. After you call the Socket.Open method I do not see how to tell if it connected or not. Thats the main thing I need to do is just see if it successfully connected and then disconnect.

I appreciate your help!
