[RELEASE]Socket Server Class

Heya guys,
I just finished a class library of sockets, and I'm releasing it here. This actually has all the more useful functions of a server side, and client side. You can send messages, check if you got any messages, etc...

There is a lil' example:

Code:

Imports Sockets_Server.SocketsServer
Module SSTest

    Public Client As New ClientSide("localhost", 4475)
    Public Server As New ServerSide(4475)

    Sub Main()

    End Sub

End Module

The current functions, properties of the client side are:
SendString(String)
SendInteger(Integer, Integer)
SendBytes(Byte())
GotString(String)
GotInteger(Integer, Integer)
GotBytes(Byte())
Property: HostName
Property: Port

The current functions, properties of the server side are:
SendString(String)
SendInteger(Integer, Integer)
SendBytes(Byte())
GotString(String)
GotInteger(Integer, Integer)
GotBytes(Byte())
Property: Port

**Note: All the functions got comments, so I think it's easy to know what are you going to do.**

Thanks, and enjoy =)

P.S.
Report here any kind of bugs that you found, also I will add a log function later, cause now it's kinda late....

thank you, Would you beable to release the source so i can convert it to c#?

but thanks!

Visual Basic and C# both compile to MSIL, and can be used together.

well you send me the link for this topic on msn but what does it do?

Clean And Approved.
It's a class, so easy to use.

Really this should be in Open source, I want to build a repository. So collecting anything Open Source would be great.

oh didnt know they Can be used together, this jus made my life 1 millon time easyier

Good release, helpful!

http://www.mpgh.net/forum/33-visual-...ient-only.html <--- open source Client Only TCP Socket :P Just Thought it might help also if you kno more about sockets :P

Also this is to help the OP Owner... AcE.bu50t Check that thread to learn how to use events instead of functions to recieve Data and shit

thx guys, btw: added source

nice but, I luv using functions

events are better though for events because then as soon as the client recieves data from the server you event will raise with the data from the server instead of coding a loop to keep checkin the server for data :P

I still luv the functions.
