Let's first create our TCP client, the same as we have with every application before, by creating a directory for it, and then using the CLI to create a console app:
dotnet new console -n SampleTcpClient
Then, within the same directory, we'll create our TCP server application with the same command:
dotnet new console -n SampleTcpServer
Now we're ready to start setting up our interactions. When we were last interacting directly with sockets exposing a port back in Chapter 8, Sockets and Ports, we were using Postman to generate HTTP requests against a given endpoint. Now, however, since we'll be writing our own TCP messages directly in code, we won't be constrained to processing the standardized HTTP headers generated ...
