Send StringBuilder Contents over a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SendSb, which encodes the contents of a StringBuilder using StringCharset and sends the resulting bytes.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
'  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim maxWaitMs As Long
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
socket.StringCharset = "utf-8"

'  Build the text to send in a StringBuilder, then send its contents.
Dim sb As New ChilkatStringBuilder
success = sb.Append("SET temperature 21" & vbCrLf)

success = socket.SendSb(sb)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "Message sent."
