capture data ona port??

[kurgan383]

hello all... I want to set up a program to listen for data coming in on a port and write that data to a file, but I don't even know where to start (I'm a newbie!) Can any one point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to do something similar at the moment. I can get the port on the server to listen and respond when the client makes a request. Unfortunately, it seems to be truncating the data sent back. I just mention this in case anyone else can help me;-). To answer your question, look up the System.Net.Sockets namespace. Also, here is a good URL with a very straightforward example.
