vb.net controls: I'm making the leap from eVB and Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2005. In
the older IDE's, I could easily add the built-in Winsocket control to the
Toolbox, and the control was easy to use. How can I do that in Visual Basic
2005? Is it even still possible?

Hi,

You use the System.Net.Sockets namespace. I do not know of a .NET control
for this (though I suspect that there are some free ones -- I just haven't
looked), except for commercial (iPWorks, for example), but the underlying
classes are pretty easy to use.
