WinSock is a shortened form of Windows Sockets. C# has a "socket" class which is the one you want to be using.

If you're just looking for the basics, you're going to want to look at either TCPListener or UDPListener.

Googling for that would be the way forward. TCP is probably the one you want to use unless you don't care whether your recipient actually gets the message.
