Dotnet socket in maxscript?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Trying to open & connect socket with dotnet:

rollout test_rollout "Test" width:220 height:220
(
    local sock = dotNetClass "System.Net.Sockets.Socket"    
)

createdialog test_rollout

showproperties  test_rollout.sock
showmethods  test_rollout.sock
showEvents test_rollout.sock
dotNet.showConstructors test_rollout.sock

But there is no "Connect" property or method listed in that "System.Net.Sockets.Socket"..

(Havent used dotnet before..)

thanks.


* This one might work better,

sock = dotNetClass "System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener"

if can get it to connect
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.aspx (msdn)

**
Some progress, needs line:

dotnet.loadAssembly "system.dll"

I recently made a blog post about this. Definitely not the easiest thing to hack out in MaxScript. Hope this helps:
