Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TcpServer()
End Sub
Shared Sub TcpServer()
Dim server As TcpListener
server = Nothing
Try
Dim port As Int32 = 4000
Dim localAddr As IPAddress = IPAddress.IPv6Any 'IPAddress.Parse("192.168.61.9") 'IPAddress.Any
server = New TcpListener(localAddr, port)
server.Start()
Dim bytes(1024) As Byte
Dim data As String = Nothing
While True
Console.WriteLine("Waiting for a connection... ")
Dim client As TcpClient = server.AcceptTcpClient()
Console.WriteLine("Connected!")
data = Nothing
Dim stream As NetworkStream = client.GetStream()
Dim i As Int32
' Loop to receive all the data sent by the client.
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
While (i <> 0)
' Translate data bytes to a ASCII string.
data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, i)
Form1.Label1.Text = data
' Process the data sent by the client.
'data = data.ToUpper()
data = "aaa"
Dim msg As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data)
' Send back a response.
stream.Write(msg, 0, msg.Length)
Console.WriteLine("Sent: {0}" + data)
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
End While
' Shutdown and end connection
client.Close()
Form1.Refresh()
End While
Catch e As SocketException
MsgBox("SocketException: {0}", e.ToString)
Finally
server.Stop()
End Try
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Hit enter to continue....")
Console.Read()
End Sub 'Main

Run TcpServer() on a new thread, or make use of BackGroundWorker Control which is part of winForms controls.
