Does winsock still exist for VB.NET?

i know it worked for vb6...
is htere a new technology available that replaced winsock??

and if there is, where can i find tutoroials for that "new technology" or tutoroals for winsock for vb.net

Replecements for Winsock are System.Net and System.Net.Sockets namespaces.

thanks a lot..

hey mutant(since you know DirectX) i heard about this thing called DirectPlay.. i heard that its a replacement for Winsock, is this true?

btw, can people please recommend tuturoal sites for System.Net and System.Net.Sockets?

thanks

Its not a replacement for Winsock, it makes creating online games or other things easier, it handles all the data sending and things like that.
