Socket Programming

Visual Basic

I like the example from EggHeadCafe.com: VB.NET TCP Client - Server Socket Communications

Dim tcpClient As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
'tcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8000)
Dim ns As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream()
'read from socket
Dim byteIn(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize) As Byte
ns.Read(byteIn, 0, byteIn.Length)
Dim strIn As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteIn)
client.Text = strIn

MS Visual C++

This code come from The Code Project's example MC++ TCP server talking to MFC & MC++ TCP clients

CSocket s; //declare the socket
s.Create();
s.Connect("127.0.0.1",20248) // open the socket up
s.Send(m_text,m_text.GetLength()); // send data over socket
i=s.Receive(buff,16); // receive data over socket

Java

We will look at an example from Java World: Sockets programming in Java: A tutorial
