I have been trying to figure out how to properly write a blocking client
application and have some basic questions.

1- Is there an example around that I could study to see how this is done.

2- From what I have read I seem to understand the following, but I am not
sure if I am correct or not.

- Set the Client Socket to Blocking.
- Once I have established a connect to the server, create my own thread that
will do my reading of any data being received. I do this using the
WinSocketStream and the method WaitForData()
- from this thread then process the message.

3- For writing to the socket, do I need to have a separate thread.

I am a little confused on how to put all this together so if someone has a
sample or could help me lay it out  it sure would help.

Thanks for any information

Mike
