Working with Sockets - xolara - 07-12-2012
Sockets is a way of 2 or more computers comunicating together and i will show you abit about it.
In the first part or Part 1 you will have
Server
Client
The Server can
Accept Connections
Accept Commands
The Client can
Connect
Send Commands
in the next part we will make the server able to send back a command to the client this can be used for example in a login. Your client sends the information to the server, The server then checks the information and sends a green light for the client to login

How-To:
1: Unzip
2: run SocketTest.sln
This will run both the projects
Please note this part does not include the disconnect so when you close the client or server it will be non responsive (Just click the close button and it will be fine)

Wow! This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing this! I always thought that using sockets was a lot more complicated than this, but apparently all the functionality lies inside the Socket class.

Sends command to server and server response to the client
