Is there no easier way to do networking in VB besides using DLL's.

[BobTheSlob]

Arg! Network coding in Java is so easy, it has all these premade libraries. I dont know how to even attempt it with VB. Is there any easier way to do network code besides using DLL's. All the tutorials I see use DLL's.

It is alrdy very easy and this is simplest you can get probably. If you think Java is easier, why dont u use Java?

Because I like the GUI building in Visual Basic. I'm going to brush up on my Windows API using skills a bit, and try to get the hang of it then.

There are controls you can use in VB, like the winsock control for example, there's also activeX controls (I've never used them tho)...you can perform simple tcp/ip tasks with winsock. Not sure what kind of networking you mean.
