how to add state property

[d_smit]

hi, i am developing a client-server application in vb.net. I am using a socket class in it. I declared one object in my client application as: dim clientSck as TcpClient clientSck.connect(ipaddress,portno) here if server application is not running it raised the exception, so how this can be handled, how can i include state property to check state connected or not. Please tell the solution.

Wrap this in a Try/Catch block to get the exception and handle the problem however you want.

Try
    clientSck.Connect(ipaddress.portno)
Catch ex As SocketException
    ' The Connect call threw an exception
    ' Do whatever you need to do to handle the situation
End Try

The TcpClient class already exposes a Connected property. It's true if a connection was successful, otherwise false.
