Newb-System.net class missing?

[archercoal]

IS the system.net class only available to ASP.NET users?
I have Visual Basic.Net 2002 Standard installed on windows xp home edition
do i also need to upgrade to xp pro? or win2k server?


Thanks

It's for Windows application as well as ASP.NET .As far as I know , you need to develop ASP.NET app then you need XP Pro , or WIN2000 .

You might need to add a reference to it in a windows application.

Not the issue. system.Net is available anywhere. You need to tell us what problem you are having.

It's one of base system classes .

Oops must have been thinking of the Web namespace.

Well in VB6 there was the winsock dll which i can access using COM, but in the .NET tutorials it mentions system.net class. Im not seeing it under references or COM

put this at the very top of your form or module you are working on :

Imports System.Net
then you can access all Net classes with short name . Is this what your question about ?

Or you can use Object Browser by clicking F2 and then select System Class , and nested NET class .

Yes pirate and everyone else.

Thanks
.NET isn't anything like what i thought it was going to be.
