Receive Bytes into a BinData

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBd, which receives one delivery of binary data and appends it to a BinData. It returns whatever is immediately available.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Integer = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Receive one delivery of binary data and append it to a BinData.  ReceiveBd returns whatever is
'  immediately available; it does not loop to drain everything that may follow.
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
success = socket.ReceiveBd(bd)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Received " & bd.NumBytes & " bytes.")
