You can, but I think it's OS specific, there are probably cross platform libraries though. What operating system are you running?

windows XP SP2 using MicroSoft Visual Studio 2008

You can use the CSocket class which is part of MFC. Or you could use lower level socket API.
Google should find you may examples.
