Q: 

C# Networking TCP/IP?

Hi All

I am in need of some websites where I can buy C# WinForms networking libraries/components/dll's from. Can anybody please suggest any? They should be pretty cheap, but any and all links are welcome :)

I can only find one website, and I don't like the look of what they have.

Thank you

I would suggest looking at these introductory videos on MSDN website, as they're more then you need to get you up and runnign quickly. Anything more advanced, there's plenty of resources/books available.

Could you explain in what scenario to use WCF ? I have a vague understanding of what it does. WCF looks very bulky though

+1 Using WCF for TCP/IP is by far the easiest way to go. One short example of how to do this: http://weblogs.asp.net/ralfw/archive/2007/04/14/a-truely-simple-example-to-get-started-with-wcf.aspx

Yes WCF isn't the lightest and fastest, but for most scenarios it is more then enough. What are you trying to communicate across the network? Is latency a big issue? E.g. Obviously you wouldn't use WCF in some sort of real time game, but if its a data application WCF should in most cases be more the appropriate.

@Chris nice post, i wish i had that when i had to put together a quick TCP app :P i took the long route of figuring out all the config files/end points etc...
