Between the two methods, WriteBytes() seems like the simpler approach. WriteBuffer() offers you more control over the output buffer/stream, which you can certainly use if and when you need to. But, for all intents and purposes, if you just need to simply open a connection and send it a byte stream, WriteBytes() does the job.
How can I convert this class and sent it to my server
That's entirely up to you, really. What you have to do is define how you're going to "serialize" your class to transmit over the connection (and thereby have to "deserialize" it when the other code receives the data).
There are a few ways to do that, among many others. A straightforward approach (taken from the top answer on that linked question), would be to use the BinaryFormatter class. Something like this:
var ms = new Message();
ms.type = 1;
ms.us = usernameTextBox.Text;
ms.pas = usernameTextBox.Text;
byte[] serializedMessage;
var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
formatter.Serialize(stream, ms);
serializedMessage = ms.ToArray();
}
// now serializedMessage is a byte array to be sent
Then on the other end you'd need to deserialize it back to an object instance. Which might look something like this:
// assuming you have a variable called serializedMessage as the byte array received
Message ms;
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
stream.Write(serializedMessage, 0, serializedMessage.Length);
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
ms = (Message)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
}
You can of course abstract these behind a simpler interface. Or if you're looking for any kind of human readability in the serialization you might try something like a JSON serializer and directly convert the string to a byte array, etc.
Edit: Note that this is really just an example of one of many ways to "serialize" an object. And, as pointed out by a user in comments below, there could be drawbacks to using this binary serializer.
You can use any serializer, really. You can even make your own. Technically overriding .ToString() to print all the properties and then calling that is a form of serialization. The concept is always the same... Convert the in-memory object to a transmittable piece of data, from which an identical in-memory object can later be built. (Technically, saving to a database is a form of serialization.)
