Help with Winsock and Visual Basic?

Question

I am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. How can I use the winsock components? I have done a lot of searching with no results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

can I just start using winsock commands or do I have to install something on VB express. I already have mswinsck.ocx.

Answer 1

you will need the mswinsck.ocx component on your pc to use it within visual basic, also you will need this installed and working on any pc which will be running your program.
