TCP communication

Question

Hi Guys

Excuse my ignorance pretty new to this but really enjoying learning to program apps

I want to use my 8" win8.1 tablet as a remote for my media centre PC. there are many apps that do remotes but none I can find that allow you to use custom buttons and designs

basically my media center pc is on my homegroup and I have a server listening which has an IP address and port for it

I want to be able to press a button  in my app and it send a keypress (say CTRL + A) to the pc on my homegroup thus doing something in my media centre

I understand I need something on my PC listening and something on my tablet sending the command but not sure if I can use the one im running at the moment (AIO Remote for android) or if i need to write both client side and server side

Does anyone know of any tutorials or samples around that can start me off on this

I hope i have explained what i am trying to achieve clearly

Any help apprecoiated

Mark

You can use your existing server if you know the interface it defines. Check if the authors document it. Otherwise you'll need to write your own.
