VB.NET -- Creating an asynchronous socket

Hey all,

I need to build this IRC bot, and I have to create a socket and a listener to send/recieve commands. It has to be asynchronous because it will take a huge number of requests.

Now I searched the internet (woot) and found some stuff, but none of them actually worked . So that's why I just wanted to ask you guys if you have any experience of sending and recieving data from and to a server.

I tought I created a nice piece of code, but it got all messed up whenever I tried to connect. The MSDN library has some articles, but I managed to get NONE of them to work.

This article may help you

That article actually tackles a server, to do a client you just need to delete all the TcpListener Stuff and make a new TcpClient like this:

Dim objTcpc As New TcpClient

and use the connect method like this:

objTcpc.Connect("hostname.com", 80)

You do all the reading and writing the same way.
