Winsock in VB

Hi,

Im developing an application and I need to create a winsock client. The server has been supplied. I then need to message the server. I know I can use the winsock control but I am wondering how to use a reference to winsock if I’m building a COM object for a website that has no graphical interface other than the front end website.

How can I create a reference to winsock to access its API?

PS U can email on jantkea@progressivebiz.com

Cheers
Andrew
