System.Net.Sockets (system.dll)

class

This class provides a client-side abstraction of the sockets API. The zero-argument form of the constructor creates the client. Connect to a remote server with the Connect( ) method (you must specify an existing System.Net.IPEndPoint or a remote IP address and port number). Alternatively, use an overloaded form of the constructor to simultaneously create the client and make the connection.

This class completely obscures the underlying socket. However, the GetStream( ) method returns a NetworkStream that you can use to send and receive data across the network.

 public class  TcpClient  : IDisposable {  // Public Constructors  public  TcpClient  ( );    public  TcpClient  (AddressFamily   family   );    public  TcpClient  (System.Net.IPEndPoint   localEP   );    public  TcpClient  (string   hostname   , int   port   );  // Public Instance Properties  public LingerOption  LingerState  {set; get; }    public bool  NoDelay  {set; get; }    public int  ReceiveBufferSize  {set; get; }    public int  ReceiveTimeout  {set; get; }    public int  SendBufferSize  {set; get; }    public int  SendTimeout  {set; get; }  // Protected Instance Properties  protected bool  Active  {set; get; }    protected Socket  Client  {set; get; }  // Public Instance Methods  public void  Close  ( );    public void  Connect  (System.Net.IPAddress   address   , int   port   );    public void  Connect  (System.Net.IPEndPoint   remoteEP   );    public void  Connect  (string   hostname   , int   port   );    public NetworkStream  GetStream  ( );  // Protected Instance Methods  protected virtual void  Dispose  (bool   disposing   );    protected override void  Finalize  ( );  // overrides object  }
