im trying to convert this java applet code to c#.


try
{
to_server = new Socket(getCodeBase().getHost(), port_of_server);
_OOS = new ObjectOutputStream(to_server.getOutputStream());
is = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(to_server.getInputStream()));
os = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(to_server.getOutputStream(), 1024), false);
txtAreaMessages.setText("");
txtMessage.setEnabled(true);
}
catch(Exception exception)
{
_logout();
txtAreaMessages.appendText("Could not Connect...");
return;
}
_OOS.writeObject(this); //<<< im
_OOS.flush();
os.print(1);
os.flush();
ClientNew clientnew = new ClientNew(is, os, txtAreaMessages);
clientnew.start();
btnLogin.setEnabled(false);
txtLoginName.setEnabled(false);
btnSend.setEnabled(true);
btnMobMessage.setEnabled(true);
ch_thread = new Thread(this, "abc");
ch_thread.start();


im stuck with this line of code:
_OOS.writeObject(this);

thanks in adv.

That line writes an object to a stream. The object must implement Serializable so that the output stream can transform it's fields into something that can be transported. I don't know C# so I don't know if there's anything analagous. Take a look at the Sun tutorial which will explain it a lot better than me...
