I have an asynchronous socket server that up until now has just receive simple requests with relatively small payloads. I need to add the ability to receive files along with the request, but am not sure of the best way to do it. To complicate matters, some connecting clients are C#, others are VB6 so the mechanism must be amenable to support a diverse client set.

can I have my clients just turn the file into a byte array and pass that into their existing TCP stream, to be rebuilt at the server end?
Yes.
