My company just purchased SocketTools Visual Edition from Catalyst with
the intent that I would use the included Socketwrench tool to create a
server application to receive and respond to requests on a port.
I'm lost. I've never done this before. I understand the concepts of
ports etc but don't know what methods and properties to set to do this.
The examples provided by Catalyst are way too complicated for me at
this point. I would love to see a very short section of code w/o any
error checking or fancy coding that I could paste in the form load event
that would listen on port 5884 and just throw up a msgbox when it hears
something. Can anyone give me any assistance?
I'm not using the free socketwrench. I understand it is different. I'm
using the version in SocketTools Visual Edition.
Another primary concern is how to send something to port 5884 to see if
the program is working.
