    Visual Studio functioning without Network

    I won't be having a network connection in a while, but I have a project that uses sockets. I believe it would still be able to be tested on my computer by a "network simulator" Visual Studio has? Is this correct, where do I find it?

    Not sure about the network simulator, but you could always use a virtual machine. VirtualBox is free, quick, and easy.

    It has when you create a WebPage, but not sure if it works in general for a TCP/IP connection and don't know how to set it.

    I ll try VirtualBox, thx

    I see no need to install a VM just to test network code. You can use localhost (127.0.0.1) as your destination host, that network is always up.
