# WebSocket sample Shows how to send and receive data using the WebSocket classes in the [Windows.Networking.Sockets]( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/br226960) namespace.

 

 

UTF8 example

This scenario uses a MessageWebSocket to send UTF-8 strings.

The sample server supports both plaintext WebSocket (ws: //) and secure WebSocket (wss: //) server endpoints.

 

Scenario2 Binary:

This scenario shows how to use a StreamWebSocket to send binary data.

The sample server supports Both plain text WebSocket (ws: //) and secure WebSocket (wss: //) server endpoints.

 

This scenario shows how to use a StreamWebSocket with a client certificate to connect to a server.

                The sample server (localhost) requires a secure WebSocket (wss: //) connection with a client certificate.

                The StreamWebSocket client certificate property behaves the same as the MessageWebSocket client certificate property.

 

 

This scenario uses a MessageWebSocket to send partial or complete messages.

                The sample server supports both plaintext WebSocket (ws: //) and secure WebSocket (wss: //) server endpoints.

How to send and receive data using the WebSocket classes in the Windows.Networking.Sockets namespace.

 

The sample demonstrates the following:

 

Making a WebSocket connection, sending and receiving data, and closing the connection.

Handling both trusted (hard-coded) URI inputs and unvalidated (user-entered) URI inputs.

Accessing the server certificate information and performing custom validation (if needed) when using a secure Websocket (wss: //) endpoint.

Providing a custom client certificate when using a secure Websocket connection.
