Getting Data Problem

I have been working on making an IRC client in visual basic.net using the WinSock control.

I have been able to send messages on it and i can see them on another client that I logged into.

But for the textbox (multiline) that im using to display the messages, it isnt displaying any messages i send or any that i send from another client. So basically all i can do is send messages from my client im working on and can see them on another one. Even the messages I send using the one im working on dont show in the textbox.

Here is my get data code:
Code:
    Private Sub sckIRC_DataArrival(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As AxMSWinsockLib.DMSWinsockControlEvents_DataArrivalEvent) Handles sckIRC.DataArrival
        On Error Resume Next

        Dim sRecv As String

        sckIRC.GetData(sRecv) Put the data recieved into the string

        Play ping pong with the server
        If Split(sRecv, " ")(0) = "PING" Then
            sckIRC.SendData("PONG " & Split(sRecv, " ")(1))
        End If

        Update the buffer
        textMessages.Text = sRecv & vbCrLf
        textMessages.SelectionStart = Len(textMessages.Text)
    End Sub
 
Maybe Im using the wrong type of control to display the messages sent and recieved? Im using a textbox and setting it to Multiline.
