Sends a message to an open TCP connection.
...socket_object.Send( output_buffer, max_length )
Prerequisites
An active TCP connection must exist for the Socket.
The Socket Object must have been created by the tcpclient_object.Client method or the tcplistener_object.AcceptSocket method.
Parameters
output_buffer
The String value that is sent.
max_length
An optional value indicating the maximum number of data bytes to send. If omitted or zero, the entire output_buffer string is sent.
Remarks
If blocking is enabled, this method blocks if the output queue is full.
This method returns the number of bytes of data actually sent. If in blocking mode, the returned value is always equal to the number of bytes requested. In non-blocking mode, the value may be less than the number of bytes requested. In that case, you should re-issue the Send to output the remainder of the bytes.
If any network errors occur, this method throws an Exception.
Examples
Dim ep As New IPEndPoint("192.168.0.3", 1234)
Dim tc As New TcpClient(ep)
Dim sock As Socket
Dim output As String
Dim count As Integer
sock = tc.Client
...
count = sock.Send(output)
