Help using easysockets?

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...t=#post3852009

I'm just starting out with tcp on vb.net (2010 exp) and I'm having a heck of a time understanding how it all works. I sure do miss WinSock on VB6

ANyway, I found the above class and it looks promising but I can't figure out how to use it. Actually, I can't seem to get past declaring it (ugh, newbs!)

I tried

private withevents myConnection as easysocket = new easysocket

<later>
myConnection.Address = myTCPAddress.tostring
myConnection.Port = str(myPort)
myConnection.Connect

I just get object not set...

If anyone has experience with this I'd love to see a little sample!

Thanks
