Hello all,

I've been looking into TcpClients and TcpListeners in VB.NET. My understanding is that the TcpClient is outbound and the TcpListener is inbound (if I'm not mistaken). This is new territory for me, and I fail to understand much of it right now. Now, assuming this is the case, how would I use a TcpClient to retrieve data from another computer running a program that utilises a TcpListener?

To be clear, using a TcpClient to RETURN information from a remote host.

Thanks,
iProgramIt.

What I have tried:

Looked through Microsoft's website but got a little bit confused.

I'm afraid that's not what I meant, how does that show a TcpClient returning data?

It doesn't. Not sure what it is that you do not understand. TcpClients connect, send and receive data from a server. That is what it does. It doesn't return data, that is what the server does.

Okay.
