When data is sent over an established connection it is usually considered as text or binary data. Text data is UTF-8 encoded. Binary data has no encoding associated with it.

Possible values are:


0 (dfAutomatic - default)	The control will attempt to automatically determine the correct data format. This is suitable for most cases.
1 (dfText)	The control will UTF-8 encode the specified data before sending. Data that has already been UTF-8 encoded may also be supplied.
2 (dfBinary)	The control will send the data exactly as it is provided.
9 (dfPing)	The control will send the ping with data exactly as it is provided.
10 (dfPong)	The control will send the pong with data exactly as it is provided.
