Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

' Connect to some host:port
Dim ssl As Boolean = False
Dim maxWaitMillisec As Integer = 20000
Dim port As Integer = 5555
Dim success As Boolean = socket.Connect("test.com",port,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



' We wish to send a 0x00 byte followed by the us-ascii string "10800"
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData

bd.AppendByte(0)
bd.AppendString("10800","utf-8")

' Send the entire contents of bd.
success = socket.SendBd(bd,0,0)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
