Binary Property

Description

Specifies whether or not to negotiate TRANSMIT-BINARY when the AutoOption property is True.

Property type

Read-write property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property Binary As Boolean

Remarks

Setting Binary and AutoOption to true will cause the Telnet control to attempt to negotiate the TRANSFER-BINARY option for both the server and the client. When this mode is used it is not necessary to pad carraige returns with null. Some Telnet servers (such as XP Telnet Server) default to TRANSFER-BINARY mode, so setting this property to true will enable communication with these types of servers.

If the server does not support this option, normal (non-binary) communication will be used.
