Re: [twsocket] Documentation? (was - Re: POSTing images to a server)
MethodName and MethodNameAsync have always the same difference. The first is a blocking procedure, the other one is not, wich means it uses its own Thread to do the processing. When using Post you will only be able to execute the next line of code (after Post) when the Post is actually completed. While in PostAsync you will get the processing back almost instantly after the PostAsync command.

Thanks Marcelo.. appreciate the explanation! However, still wondering if there is a document that explains it so that I'm not bothering you guys every time I hit a bump on the road :D Cheers Mohit.

Didn´t know that! Winsock've always been a black box to me :) Thanks for the clarification, Marcelo Grossi Asynchron behaviour is not achieved by using any additional thread!!
