Accepts a TCP connection and returns a new Socket Object for performing I/O on that connection.
...tcplistener_object.AcceptSocket
Prerequisites
The TCP listener associated with the tcplistener_object should have already been started.
Parameters
None
Remarks
This method is used by a TCP server to accept a connection request from a remote TCP client. It creates a new Socket for performing I/O with that client. If no connection requests are pending, this method blocks until one is received. To avoid blocking, use the Pending property before calling AcceptSocket.
If any network errors occur, this method throws an Exception.
Examples
Dim ep As New IPEndPoint("", 1234) ' Listen on port 1234
Dim tl As New TcpListener(ep) ' Create listener object
Dim sock As Socket
tl.Start
sock = tl.AcceptSocket
