You should be using the Socket object (or possibly TcpListener / TcpClient, depending on how much wrapping you want)
winsock was an old vb control that they did away with.

I understand but all the ways i treid to convert this code in C# it gives me errors, especifically here:

"Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/msword, */*";
"Referer: http://www.myweb.com/file.php";
"Accept-Language: en-us";
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
"Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate";
"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)";
"Host: " + "myweb.com + ":80";
"Content-Length: " & abc.Lenght;
"Connection: Keep-Alive";

i don't understand where i have to put this line of code in socket of C#.

For example, i have php file on my server, and from C# i want to post there. I know how to di it in VB but i don't know how do it in C#. Anyone can help me?
here is the full Code of VB shouting:

Dim abc As String
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock2.Close
Winsock2.Connect "host.com", 80
End Sub
Private Sub Winsock2_Connect()
abc = "&name=" & Me.Text1.Text & "&shoutbox=" & Me.Text2.Text & "&submit=Send"
    Winsock2.SendData ("POST /user/subfolder/shoutbox.php?action=shoutbox HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf & _
        "Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/msword, */*" & vbCrLf & _
        "Accept-Language: en-us" & vbCrLf & _
        "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf & _
        "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" & vbCrLf & _
        "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)" & vbCrLf & _
        "Host: " & "myhost.com" & ":80" & vbCrLf & _
        "Content-Length: " & Len(abc) & vbCrLf & _
        "Connection: Keep-Alive" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
         abc & vbCrLf)
         End Sub

Im trieng to do this in C# but i'm getting errors.

Well those are all strings that you could send down the Socket to the php page.
For that situation though it might be better to use the HttpWebRequest object, since it was designed to make those type of socket calls.

Please start using [code] tags when you post code. This isn't optional, it is a requirement.

I've fixed these posts.
