Hi I am trying to send data using TClientSocket and TServerSocket

ClientSocket is using Socket->SendBuf(memory_stream->Memory, (int)size);

The message is picked up in the ServerSocket OnRead event and this is where the message is processed. 

However I do not know the size of the incomming buffer.  I have 
read that this needs to be sent also, however if I send this then the ServerSocket OnRead picks up on this also.  So I am unsure how to send the info or how to code my 
ServerSocket::OnRead event to handel the size and the actual buffer.

An examples would be greatfully received!

Thanks Duncan
