一直以来很想学习Socket编程方面的应用，比如怎样通过Socket编程实现单片机与PC的TCP连接通信。在单片机嵌入网卡芯片与PC进行连接通信，实现PC的web方式对单片机所控制的设备的状态管理，例如智能家居方面的应用。
下面通过例子来学习VB.NET中Net.Sockets类的应用，下面的程序分别分服务器和客户端两部分:

@H_502_6@Visual Basic ---tcpserver Imports System Imports System.Net Imports System.Net.Sockets Imports System.Text Imports System.Threading Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic ' State object for reading client data asynchronously Public Class StateObject ' Client socket.

例程创建了客户端到服务器端的连接，客户端的连接是通过异步socket方式实现。 通过上面的程序相信大家对VB.NET中Net.Sockets类有了基本的了解。
