Yes, at the network level there is only one type of socket, and a CSocket is merely a C++ wrapper class for the basic socket mechanism.

Unfortunately, you are going to be less happy. If you want source code you need to search the articles for samples; there are many.

There is no particular requirement on the Win32 socket connection, if in the other side there is a CSocket. So just have a look at the documentation [^]. :)

Sure. A socket is totally ignorant of what language dll is on top of it. You could connect one end in VB to another in Java.

Yes you we can.

I would not use the class CSocket instead use CAsyncSocket or something else. Have a look at Beej's guide to networking programming[^] and Winsock Programmer's FAQ[^], there are client/server examples in section 6. You can download, modify it and play with it. Hope it helps! :) /M
