I need to code a server and a client that communicates using tcp and an asynchronous communication. I wish to implement it with only the basic api's like createsocket(), listen(), connect(), bind() etc. CAsyncSocket is available but that's MFC and I am looking for basic help related windows api.....

CodeProject has any number of articles on this subject. There are client/server examples of any complexity.

Start here, although the author uses MFC for the application the socket stuff is pure win32.

This is a good article:
