k, i am working on a multiuser chat program, and i'm using Winsock. I've heard that using COM+ or DCOM is better and more secure than using Winsock. Can someone help me decide what is the better component to use. [P.S. I've already made a 1 to 1 user chat program using Winsock, but am having trouble making a multiuser chat program with this component.]

-thnx

Why in the world wouldn't you be using the .NET libraries and tools?

well, 1st of all, i want to do something like the program im working on for my year end project. and since the skools use VB6 and not .NET i cant do it using .NET tools. And the other reason is: i dont rele like .NET... i tried that one free VB.NET program, and i didnt like it one bit. And by now i came to the conclusion that i probably want to use winsock, since thats wat the teacher suggested me.

Seeing as winwock is hte windows soclet layer you'll end up using it no matter what. As for using it within VB I don't rightly remember except that I think there is a winsock control somewhere...
