I was wondering if anybody knew how to do some networking in visual basic .net.

I remember reading somewhere on here that if i wanted to make more of a server application i should use vb.net.

Right now i have so far been using the winsock control & vb6 for all my server based applications (and it has a tendency to not be very good at it), does anybody know how to use vb.net for networking?

Yup...Take a look at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient and System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener

Yeah, the .NET Framework lets you interact at a much lower level and supports true multithreading, so its a lot better for high load applications. The Tcp objects can be a bit unpredictable though and often raise near-pointless exceptions, so its a good idea to wrapper them in some way. Also, they can lead to race conditions if you're not careful, especially when step-thru debugging, which caused me a lot of grief on an FTP server this morning...
