This class provides a client-side abstraction
of the sockets API. The zero-argument
form of the constructor creates the client. Connect to a remote
server with the Connect( ) method (you must
specify an existing System.Net.IPEndPoint or a
remote IP address and port number). Alternatively, use an overloaded
form of the constructor to simultaneously create the client and make
the connection.
This class completely obscures the underlying socket. However, the
GetStream( ) method returns a
NetworkStream that you can use to send and receive
data across the network.
