has anyone built a working application using Sockets?
i mean from PC to PC via the internet, NOT PC to PC via a local network.

what i am looking for is away for a certain group of people to be able to connect to a Socket chat server and all have chat @ the same time. as in a socket chat application.

what i am building is a project that has multiple smaller projects built into it. (dont ask, to much to exspain)
and i need a socket chat app to help "alliance" members to chat back and forth.

if anyone has a working example that does not thru exceptions at Eixt() then please send me a copy.
i will gladdly pay you for a good example. not a re-write of some garbage from the web.

This is a basic example to show how TCP client/server sockets may be used. It is worth mentioning that a chat system can have many requirements/features, and your protocol will need to be designed around these.

HI scottie i have coded a protocol named ado-net chat and its integrated into my lastest ado-sms software it have a server and client code with mysql database for storing users info and messages when the contact is not logged-in so you can do a list of what you need and i are going to see if its situable for your needs
