Socket Programming in Navision and Business Central On-Premises

Hello Everyone,

In this article, we would discuss about Socket Programming.

Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. 

A Socket is an End-Point of To and From (Bidirectional) communication link between two programs (Server Program and Client Program ) running on the same network.

A Server Socket Program running on a computer has a socket that bound to a Port Number on the same computer and listening to the client's incoming requests.

A Client Socket Program have to know the IP Address (Hostname) of the computer that the C# Server Socket Program resides and the Port Number assign for listening for client's request .

Communication protocol used for Socket Programming is TCP/IP ( Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol).
