Tell me, I had a Winsock component in Vb 6.0 - for creating chats, online games, etc. But where is this component in Visual Studio?

  • What do you mean by Visual Studio? Development environment or you switched to another language, C ++, for example? - Nicolas Chabanovsky ♦
  • I switch to C #, but the components in Visual Studio are the same for all PL (I think so) - Angus123
  • Correctly in the answers it says, the winsock library is system, it always is. And if you are interested in the winsock2 library, then it is connected separately. Otherwise, I do not see the point of the question. - 3JIoi_Hy6

Winsock This is a library for working with the network at the socket level and it is in the operating system itself, and even if you don’t have it in the development environment, you can always access it using WinApi.

The DLL itself is in the Windows / system32 folder

  • Yes, but here's how to find it among the list of components in Visual Studio? - Angus123
  • Not the fact that you have it among the installed components. - SoftR
  • Well, somehow, after all, people make chats, online projects for VS, which means it exists, it is simply called something else. That's the name, very interesting. - Angus123
  • one
    Well, who's stopping you from using WinApi? Yes, and enough components to work with the network. In the end, no one forbids you to export functions from the DLL itself - SoftR
  • Thanks to all. Already figured out. - Angus123
