I cant find it anywhere. I heard it was replaced by something, can you guys tell me what, also, what is microsoft reccoemnding over winsock now?

No, API is still alive and kicking:

Although there are now many API functions wrapped by the framework.

As for winsock, youd now use the System.Net.Sockets namespace.
