Trying to upgrade a VB6 winsock function to vb.net sockets. The sdk mentions
a TransmitFile function, but I find no usage sample for C# or VB. Must be an
easier way than Seek and Put (not in .net), and getting chunks. Have you any
pointers, besides trail and error, something like the WinTalk sample in the
sdk ?

Thanks

TransmitFile is not supported in the current shipping viersion of the
runtime. You can use TcpClient/UdpClient or Socket class in
System.Net.Sockets namespace and accomplish the same.

Its free and open source. You can just use its WriteFile function, or open a
stream if you want and pass the stream to the Write method.
