Hi, Do you know if remoting has been phased out as well? We had to make a poker game that could be played over the internet for my C# class in college, and our professor seemed to think remoting was the best solution. You really don't have to worry about a lot of the details that you normally would in socket programming. I imagine using winsock might be more stable though.
