What are the best options in using VB.NET and the GDK. I always liked Multisync, but not sure if it's compatible, if it is, how would I go about it. RakNet doesn't appear to be compatible without some type of wrapper. Is there anything else out there, or should I just start writing my own using the system.socket?

MikeNet will be compatible with .net within the next few weeks.

If you want to use another plugin that is not compatible with .net you could write you own wrapper. The best guide I found was: http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/03/29/mcpp_part3.html. The guide focuses on wrapping a class, but you can wrap normal functions aswell.

Thats a good article, i might play with it just for future reference. Given what little I know about C++ at this point, I could probably write my own MP library quicker than I can try to figure out how to wrap an existing one. Still, I'll save that article in the event I get some time. Also, I look forward to seeing MikeNet's next update. Thanks for your reply
