I'm looking at the following tutorial.

http://www.codeproje.../TCPIPChat.aspx

My problem is its in c#. I have used this site to change it from c# to vb.net

http://www.developer...t/csharp-to-vb/

I havnt plugged in any code except for the server part.

IPEndPoint localEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 8000);
Socket newsock = Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
				   SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
newsock.Bind(localEndPoint);
newsock.Listen(10);
Socket client = newsock.Accept();

That is teh c# for server.

It went to

Dim ipep As New IPEndPoint(Ipaddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 8000)
Dim server As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)
server.Connect(ipep)

I put into VS 2008 and had some errors. i fixed them by importing

Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Net

I still have one error which i don't know how to fix.

Dim newsock As Socket = Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)

The error is on the socket that is after =

'Socket' is a type and can not be used an an expression.

I was how to go about and fixing this. As im sure ill run into this type of error more while converting the client side of the application.

Hi,
the problem is that it has a constructor and needs to be declared as new and the statement for this is

Dim newsock As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)

or

Dim newsock As Socker =  New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)
