HELP VB TCP Telegram

Hi, I am new to the programming of VB. I have been assigned the task of sending data to our new inspection system purchase from a company in Germany. Years ago I was a programmer but have not done much since. I have been doing some research on what is required to accomplish this task but due to the dead line at hand. I don't feel I could complete this project. If anyone out there has already written a program that will do simular functions and is willing to share their code so that i have a guide line to use I would be Eternally greatful and hopefully be able to return such a favor. The task I am trying to accomplish is as follows: I have to read a file containg two records, 1.) Is a header record and the other is a "Body" record. Then I have to send that data down to the inspection system IP 127.0.0.1 Listening on port # 19000. Pretty simple, if you have done this kind of thing before. Does not require having to wait for any kind of responce back. This is a ONEWAY transmission.
