VB.NET Q

[Frane Roje]

I am using VB.NET 2002, and I'm having problems finding a replacement for
winsock control form VB6.0. Is there a similar control in VB.NEt and how
it's called. I actualy need to write a small chat which I have done
previously in vb6.0 in vb.NET
TIA

Here's some sample VB code for it:

Imports Indy.Sockets.IdTCPClient
Module Module1

Sub Main()
With New TIdTCPClient
.Host = "msnews.microsoft.com"
.Port = 119
.Connect()
Console.WriteLine("Connected.")
Console.WriteLine(.IOHandler.ReadLn)
.IOHandler.WriteLn("Quit")
Console.WriteLine(.IOHandler.ReadLn)
.Disconnect()
Console.WriteLine("Disconnected.")
End With
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

End Module

You can also use the default .NET classes:

Yes, but its more work and requires more knowledge of sockets. Its a lower
level API or "abstraction" layer.
