SocketWrench Control
Introduction
This tutorial covers the free SocketWrench control from Catalyst Development, and how to use it for Windows Socket programming. If you are not familiar with TCP/IP, I recommend you read the Introduction to TCP/IP tutorial first.
Because SocketWrench has a large number of properties, you might feel overwhelmed when you start reading through the technical reference material. Don’t worry -- you only need to understand how to use a handful of properties and events to get started. Once you’ve become more comfortable and knowledgeable about sockets programming, you’ll appreciate the power and flexibility that SocketWrench gives you.
Each control that you use corresponds to one socket, which may or may not be connected to a remote host. If you need access to multiple sockets, you must use multiple controls, typically as a control array. This is most commonly needed when your application acts as a server and must be able to handle several connections at one time.

I need some help. I want to make the server client program work over the internet, not just a LAN. So my friend can use the client, and I can be the server and we can sedn messages back and forth. Can someone help me with this?
we have established connection between server & client. It works ok when we pass queries from just one form. when we want to load many forms at a time with only a single connection some error has occured. only the first form loads from the database without error when the next form loads there is some error in the connection.
could you help us?
