Data transfer from arduino to vb.net using ethernet shield without web server

Hello
I am looking for data transfer from arduino to vb.net via ethernet shield. I have already done the transfer of data using web server, but I want to transfer data without using web server.

Can anyone help? Is there another way-out for transferring data?

EthernetClient wraps TCP socket. EthernetServer is a TCP listening socket. if Server gets a client, it creates a Client object and the two sockets on both sides are connected. what you write on one side you can read on the other side

How about using "DHCPChatServer" example(https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/DhcpChatServer)? It's very simple & easy.
