Socket Programming in C#

The Socket class is not protocol specific and provides an abstraction for network communication. This way you can write code using a single set of semantics (Bind, Connect, Send, Receive, etc) regardless of the network protocols you wish you use. For example, you can write a Sockets-based application that uses IPv4 or IPv6 (and more ) as the network layer.

TCPClient is a wrapper around the sockets class designed only for TCP over IPv4/v6 communication. This class is intended to make it simpler (less code) to write TCP based client side applications.

TCPListener is another wrapper around the Socket class, but is designed to make it easy to create server side TCP over IPv4/v6 applications.

Any sockets programming book or the MSDN documentation for the sockets class should further clarify the distinction.

Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Thank you! Your reply was really helpful! 😀
