Help me using winsock in Windows forms...

Hi everybody. I'm new in this forum and also in VC++. In a windows form project, i'll transmit a text data by winsock. I did this in console, but i don't know how to do this in form application. For example, where should i define my objects and functions. As i know In Form.h , i can't define a new class, so how this will be possible? And which libs i have to use? Please help me about this, cause all examples i've read tells me about winsock in console applications...

Are you sure about that? AFAIK there is no limitation on how many classes you can declare in a header-file. Anyway, if you don't want to do that you can simply add you own header file.

Depends on the function you use. You can find lots of documentation on msdn.microsoft.com.

Only difference is that you don't want to use blocking socket calls in the main/GUI thread, that would make you application appear to have 'freezed'. You should take a look at WSAAsyncSelect or WSAEventSelect.
