i have found a script

public static void Main()
{
client = new Form();
client.Text = "PCChat - Chat Client";

client.Closing += new CancelEventHandler(ChatClient_Closing);
client.Controls.Add(new TextBox());
client.Controls[0].Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
client.Controls.Add(new TextBox());
client.Controls[1].Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
((TextBox)client.Controls[0]).Multiline = true;
((TextBox)client.Controls[1]).Multiline = true;
client.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
client.Show();
((TextBox)client.Controls[1]).KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(key_up);
tcpClient = new Chat.Sockets.TcpClient();
tcpClient.Connect("localhost", 8080);
Thread chatThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(run));
chatThread.Start();
while (true)
{
Application.DoEvents();
}
}

but it has error

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8080

what seems to be the problem here?

From the point of view of folks answering questions, we would be able to help more if you told us specifically what wasn't working.

Did you start up the server before running the client?

[homer.favenir]

tcpClient.Connect("localhost", 8080);

has error

yes, i execute the server first before the client and tried vice versa also
