Abstract
One of the challenges in computer programming is internetworking with TCP/IP, not only because of its popularity, but also because of its complexity.
This thesis attemps to explain the way the socket programming interface works with TCP/IP and the way the Visual Basic socket custom control works with TCP/IP within 32-bit Windows environment. Finally the thesis presents an application, the Chinese Chess game. Implemented with Visual Basic and a socket custom control, the application works in the client/server model, with TCP/IP network protocol, under the 32-bit Windows environment. Readers may find that using the Visual Basic socket custom control to implement an application using TCP/IP is not very difficult.
