The Quick Start Guide is designed to help you get started quickly and easily using the SocketWrench .NET class. It is important to note that this guide is not meant to be a replacement for the either the Developer's Guide or the Technical Reference, and we encourage developers to review those sections thoroughly. Although this guide will cover the most common uses of the component, it is meant to serve as an overview; not every property, method and event will be discussed.

The examples provided in the Quick Start Guide presume some familiarity with the Visual Basic.NET programming language. However, the basic concepts are the same regardless of what language is used. For complete information on all of the properties, methods, events and constants provided by the class, refer to the Technical Reference. Before performing any of the steps in this guide, you should have installed SocketWrench .NET on your development system.

The first step in using the SocketWrench .NET class is to add a reference to the class in your project. Select Project | Add Reference from the menu and a list of the available references will be displayed. Scroll down to SocketTools.SocketWrench.dll and select that component, then press the and OK button to add the reference. Once the reference to the component has been added to your project, you're ready to begin.
