Vb.net – TCP Server in VB.NET

I am not a software programmer but I have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data streams).

I have searched on the internet and I found that I can use two methods: Socket or TCPListener class.

I have created an example for the Socket class, but I was wondering how I can test it?

If another computer in the network sends some string data to the listener computer, then the message should be displayed.

Here is the example from Microsoft that I am using for the TCP server using a Socket:

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        ' Data buffer for incoming data.
        Dim data = nothing
        Dim bytes() As Byte = New [Byte](1024) {}
        Dim ipAddress As IPAddress = ipAddress.Any
        Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)

        Dim intI As Integer = 0
        'Display the NIC interfaces from the listener
        For Each ipAddress In ipHostInfo.AddressList
            Console.WriteLine("The NIC are  {0}", ipHostInfo.AddressList(intI))
            intI += 1
        Next
           Console.WriteLine("You are listening on {0}",localEndPoint)
        ' Create a TCP/IP socket.
        Dim listener As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)

        ' Bind the socket to the local endpoint and 
        ' listen for incoming connections.
        Try
            listener.Bind(localEndPoint)
            listener.Listen(200)
        Catch e As SocketException
            Console.WriteLine("An application is alreading using that combination of ip adress/port", e.ErrorCode.ToString)
        End Try

        ' Start listening for connections.
        While True
            Console.WriteLine("Waiting for a connection...")
            ' Program is suspended while waiting for an incoming connection.
            Dim handler As Socket = listener.Accept()
            data = Nothing
            ' An incoming connection needs to be processed.
            While True
                bytes = New Byte(1024) {}
                Dim bytesRec As Integer = handler.Receive(bytes)
                data += Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, bytesRec)
                Console.WriteLine("The string captured is  {0}", data)
                If data.IndexOf("something") > -1 Then
                    Exit While
                End If
            End While
            ' Show the data on the console.
            Console.WriteLine("Text received : {0}", data)
            ' Echo the data back to the client.
            Dim msg As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data)
            handler.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both)
            handler.Close()
        End While
    End Sub
End Class

Am I on the right lead?
Thanks

Later Edit:
I have used that code in a Console Application created with Visual Studio and I want to check the scenario when a device is sending some string message through the network.
E.g:
I have two devices :Computer A, computer B connected through LAN
I have tried this command : telnet computerA port ( from computer B) but nothing is displayed in the TCP server running from computer A.

telnet 192.168.0.150 3232

I also made a TCP client for testing (derived from the Microsoft example):

Public Class SynchronousSocketClient

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        ' Data buffer for incoming data.
        Dim bytes(1024) As Byte

        Dim ipHostInfo As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName())
        Dim ipAddress As IPAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList(0)
        Dim remoteEP As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 11000)

        ' Create a TCP/IP socket.
        Dim sender As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)

        ' Connect the socket to the remote endpoint.
        sender.Connect(remoteEP)

        Console.WriteLine("Socket connected to {0}", _
            sender.RemoteEndPoint.ToString())

        ' Encode the data string into a byte array.
        Dim msg As Byte() = _
            Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("This is a test<EOF>")

        ' Send the data through the socket.
        Dim bytesSent As Integer = sender.Send(msg)

        ' Receive the response from the remote device.
        Dim bytesRec As Integer = sender.Receive(bytes)
        Console.WriteLine("Echoed test = {0}", _
            Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, bytesRec))

        ' Release the socket.
        sender.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both)
        sender.Close()
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub

End Class 'SynchronousSocketClient

But it does not work because of the PORT setting.
If in the TCP Server I have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" then the client crashes, but if I change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example, the client works fine.
Do you know why?

Later edit 2:
Maybe I should have started with this question: Which method is recommended for my scope – asynchronous or synchronous method?
