Hi Gemster, You can use VB6 ActiveX control such as the WinSock control in VB.NET Windows Forms Application. Read the following links for your reference. You will first need to register the Winsock control in VB.net since it doesn't include it by default..NET has native implementation for socket communication. The namespace System.Net.Sockets contains most of the objects required for socket communication. Please check this thread for reference: ' Replacement for WinSock ' Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have any feedback, please tell us.

Genster, You said that you are new in VB and that you were following a tutorial, and now, you are given 3 solutions for you to use the socket. And none of them fits with the tutorial. So I am giving you these comments that may help you 1) if your tutorial said that you will find winsock in the include references, this tutorial may be base on VB6 which is a language similar, but different than VB.NET, if it is the case, you will have to find these differences and adjust your code. 2) If your tutorial include all or most of the code that you need to create your application the first solution that Riquel gave you, (Using the WinSock control from VB6) may be the easiest solution for you. But you will have to find a copy of VB6 to get the file. 3) If your tutorial is not giving you the exact code, but is more like a descripton of what you have to do and what function to use, I think that it will be easier for you to access Winsock as showed in the link I gave you 4) However, if your goal is to learn.NET proprely, You should consider to learn System.net.Socket.
