Receive a 32-bit Integer from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveInt32, which reads exactly four bytes as a signed 32-bit integer and stores the result in the ReceivedInt property. Byte order is selectable.

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


'  Read exactly four bytes as a signed 32-bit integer and store the result in the ReceivedInt
'  property.  The argument selects byte order (True = big-endian, network byte order).
Dim bBigEndian As Boolean = True
success = socket.ReceiveInt32(bBigEndian)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Received 32-bit integer: " & socket.ReceivedInt)
