Hi, from the client perspective it is really easy; all you have to do is just connect. Sounds easy and it is easy.
Check out the TcpClient.Connect or simply go over this:
Msdn TcpClient [^]

The question is not specific enough, so I'll try to give you only the general ideas.

Networking can be done in different levels. With TCP, I would recommend working not with sockets, but rather with TcpListener/TcpClient. I tried to overview those levels in my past answers:
how i can send byte[] to other pc[^],
Communication b/w two Windows applications on LAN.[^].

See also Multple clients from same port Number[^] for general architecture and threading.

First thing you need to understand well is threading.
