We are thinking about writing some client/server code, i.e. IPC communications, winsock, etc. We may need to write some using VB6, but also in .NET.

Does anyone here work with add-on components that they like that help do that work? Or can you name a company that might make them?

I'm not even sure what I'm asking. I envision adding a component to a project, plopping it on a form (or ref'ing it in a module) configuring some settings, running the program and having the thing either sit there and listen and respond to another thing that sits somewhere else and listens and responds. Maybe there are more than 2 of these things out there all talking to each other. That's my non-technical description, I hope you can appreciate it!

Thanks,
Gina
happy, merry, happy
