Winsock in VB.NET!!!

[longshot_zero]

I ported across a project that uses winsock from VB6 to VB.NET and it worled perfectly... no errors, no issues at all... and the winsock controller is there...

although i cant find any reference to it "converting" its use in VB.NET...

So if we can use the winsock controller in .NET, is there a way to add it to a project?

And also, is there any reason why we shouldnt do it this way??

ok, there is a reason... it adds 1.8MB of DLL files to your project

It also does not work well if you are building a service, some funny stuff a can happen.
