I believe sockets are what you want, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w89fhyex(v=vs.110).aspx

I got the code but its not working as it is meant to be.
And I also need the explanation to tweak it to my need.

What is the problem?

The server is working fine but when I open the client it just displays something and closes.This is not type of program I need.The program I am designing is for the following purpose below :
This program is a game which two persons can play over internet.
This is a game called Cows and Bulls and one of the player has to guess
the number the second person has in mind with the clues given by
the second person.I want to transfer the guesses(which are integers)
from the first person to the second person and the clues from
second person to the first.

OK, so change how the program works. The link I gave gives examples of how to communicate via sockets.

You've listed a lot of things you want but what is it you want from us?

I just need the code to send the clues and guesses from one application to other over internet.And then use that data to update the GUI.

ZurdoDev 16-Feb-16 10:30am

OK, the socket examples do that. They show how to send data from one computer to another.

Is there a way that I can check its working on the same computer.

Please do. I hope it will help you and you will accept the answer formally.
