    Socket class disadvantages

    Hi

    I have a question related to Socket class. What are the advantages /
    disadvantages of using Socket class comparing to TcpClient and
    HttpWebRequest

      Piotr,

      Well, when using the TcpClient vs the Socket, you probably want to use
      the client most of the time, since it exposes the underlying Socket through
      the Client property.

      Now, comparing those to HttpWebRequest, with HttpWebRequest, it wraps
      all of the protocol interaction for you, forming the request, parsing the
      response, etc, etc. You don't have that with the TcpClient/Socket.

          Socket can be used for UDP packets, the others can't.
