This artical will give the user a insight as to how data transactions should occur. it will cover how to send different types of data and then getting the recipent program to understand it and do something with that data and its type, such as setting nicknames and sending messages (in a chat program) also included is a simple chat program that uses the code in the artical and shows you the code in action. the code is very well commented and it aimed at begenner level to intermediate level coders. also included is a nice way to counter act teh effect of "Data Merging" that can occur over slow connections using TCP/IP with out using the slow "Send Complete" event in winsock.
