Solution 1

Take a look at some of the articles about Chat, Sockets, TCP/IP etc in C# where you will learn how to transfer data between computers via sockets.

Thank you.. Now i am using UDP to transfer byte[] from one comp to other. It works.. But I have some problem.
1) Server will be sending Some byte Array which size will be changing Many times.. How can i find out the size of Byte array from Server Machine on client machine
2) Speed of Transfer is slow.. 102400 bytes take more than 15 secs. to complete.. Can you suggest more for This?

1. The server should send a size value at the beginning of each block of data.
2. Check your code, network connections etc.

Hmm.

Ok decide whether you want to go client/server or peer-to-peer. CS is easier. Decide what you mean by share, does that mean everything gets sent to everyone?

If performance is of importance forget WCF and stuff like that, you're not going to beat a raw socket for speed transferring binary data. It's pretty simple, use a TcpListener on one end and accept incoming connections. On the other a TcpClient and connect to the listening end. Then send you byte[] down the NetworkStream in the TcpClients.

If you need lots of performance but less reliability (video/audio conferencing and the like) you'd be better using UDP.

As usual, a bit too broad a question.
