I would like to use Directplay instead of winsock to create a network game, as i heard that directplay handles network gaming better.

I have tried to look for online resources which offer tutorials or help on directplay, does anyone out there know of any good links which can help me? i have no knowledge on directplay, so i need a good tutorial or article to help, oh yah by the way, it must be in VISUAL BASIC, not C++ or others...

i would be very grateful if any of u could help me out, thanx...
