socket programming

i have an application which needs to be invoked based on the data in the file received from outsidde. for that i need to use sockets. what i have to do is first listen to the port. once the connection is established. i need to get the file.

i want to know how can it be implemented??

Please reply soon

Thank you

Go to Project | Components and add the WinSock control.

Search for a page called "Using the WinSock control" in MSDN and you will be on your way quite soon.
