I am very new to this... I just started playing around with some network
programming. I really only use vb.net. I say that so I don't get the 'use
c/c++' answer. Programming is a hobby for me, not a career. I'm only
interested, at least right now, in playing around with vb.net and maybe some
c#.net. I'm not sure if this is the right
forum or not but...
my first question is to make sure I understand something:
1) the main difference between sockets or the higher level
tcpclient/udpclient etc.. classes is that the latter (derived from the
former) has fewer options/functionality and is synchronous only, for asynch
operation you would need to manage your own threads; AND the former
(sockets) has more options/functionality including their own asynch methods
(beginconnect, endconnect, etc..) which handle the multiple threads for you.
is this correct?
2) If my goal is to eventually right somewhat in depth and/or powerful
network programs should I even bother with the tcpclient/udpclient etc..
classes or should I just start with learning sockets directly?
any input on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I'm working on a client - server application based on the 'How to

Since I want to be able to send 'big strings' instead of 'one liners'
I check the streams for terminators.
I'm having problems with the connection, I've been looking and
debugging for 2 weeks now (debugging with an emulator is terribly
slow..) but I'm not getting it...

I have a very strange problem with System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient().

I made sure that the server really sends everything I expect it to send. I
am actually sending XML messages and this limit is a pain in the ...

Boy, someday I may get good at this stuff! Until then, I have a "TCP
server" that accepts multiple connections. That all works wonderfully!
YEAH!!!! I have a TCPClient that is the client connection to my server, my
question is, how do I get the client's IP from tthe TCPClient so I can know
who is logged in? I have spent most of the day looking for this on-line and
can't find nuttin yet.
Thanks

I'm using TCP/IP to send a Bitmap object over Sockets. This is my first
time using C# at all so I don't know if this is the "right" way to do
it. I've already found out several times the way I was doing something
was really inefficient and could reduce 10 lines of code with 2, etc.
For reading, I am using a TcpClient and I call
NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream(); to get a stream
stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
