How to Send an Arraylist Via Winsock in C#..Net 2.0

[PradeepDotMax]

Hi,,,,

i want to send an ArrayList which may have Strings and objects etc, via Winsock, in C#.Net 2.0

when i send strings,.. the Clent receives the String,
=====================================

Winsock1.SendData("hai"); //--------------Client Receives it


but when i try to send an array list, nothing happens.
=======================================

ArrayList _arr = new ArrayList();

_arr.Add("hai");

Winsock1.SendData(arr); //------------------Nothing happens in the Client Side



Please somebody help Me.

This is a regular vb6 application yes?
As winsock is not a valid .NET control.
I will move it to there in a bit.
I would guess that it does not know how to convert your arraylist into bytes to send it down the socket though.

well in the .net framework, most of the winsock and more are available in the system.net namespace

Not on any of .NET I have seen.
There is System.Net.Sockets though, which should be what you use (or some derrived/alternative .NET class like TcpClient or HttpWebRequest or etc)

well i meant like most of the winsock's functions, im not familiar with vb 6 and older i've never used it, but i know that under the system.net namespace there is another namespace(i think .sockets) that has a .senddata function within the .socket class and also tcpclient too, which you can use for the same purpose, sorry for being more clear/precise.
