First off...I program VB.NET in ASP.NET.
I would like to perform a custom server query from my webpage. The site is a gaming related site and I would like to scan a server for players etc.
I know there are components for this but I would like to make my own.

I was thinking a.la. Winsock in good old ASP/VB.

So to summerize: I want to make a VB DLL for my website (using the vbc.exe compiler) that is capable of connecting to a custom IPort and exchange data like the Winsock control i VB6.

How do I do this?
