I'm using visual studio to try to run this code (the code from the link you said) and first it says, "Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pcap.h': No such file or directory" even after adding existing item and browsing to it. So, I add new item, copy the contents of pcap.h into it, and save it as pcap.h. next error, "Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pcap-stdinc.h': No such file or directory" I try repeating the last step, but it never works.
At one point I had tried to run their "example" solutions, with about 13 errors about "Error 1 error C3163: '_vsnprintf': attributes inconsistent with previous declaration" Also, that is NOT a tutorial. They don't tell you what you need to actually execute the code, i.e. which .h files are needed to be included (other then the #include), whether it only needs the .dll or what. It's very frustrating trying to run code with all the provided information, only to discover that there's still vital information not given. I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with several programs written for use with the game Warcraft III, namely banlist and listchecker. These programs scan through the traffic to your computer and log several bits of information about players you interact with, ultimately allowing you to compile a list of players you do not wish to have interaction with again. Also, they have built in ping functionality, as well as several other helpful tools. The problem is that they each have strengths, but definate weaknesses, and who wants to run 4 programs in tandem with a game to do everything if they can just combine them. I've determined that their functionality stems from winpcap, and wanted to write my own version of these programs that incorporates their strengths into 1 package. I don't like c++ or c, and wanted to do it in c#. I had no idea (as it said nothing about it) that this wasn't really set up to be used with .net straight away (as there are no .sln's that just compile and work properly) and wanted to know if I needed to compile something into a .dll or if there was just an updated c# version out there.

Have you looked at the tutorial here http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_41b5/html/group__wpcap__tut.html ? Also, there are a bunch of .NET wrappers for WinPcap, at least one is available on codeproject (just search for "net wrapper on google"). Have a nice day GV Any help would be greatly appreciated (i.e. a REAL tutorial describing which functions are used to do what and why, and how they do it) or I'd just be happy with a .dll that I can call stuff from if that's all you can do.

Is the goal to write such an encapsulation, or is the goal to use WinPcap from C#? If the goal is the latter - i.e., if you're not, for example, trying to learn how to wrap C/C++ libraries for use in .NET - then the Wikipedia page for pcap (libpcap/WinPcap): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pcap says: Wrappers for use of libpcap/WinPcap in languages other than C and C++ ... ? WinPcapNET and SharpPcap, .NET wrappers for WinPcap and SharpPcap is at http://sharppcap.wiki.sourceforge.net/ (WinPcapNet is at http://blogs.creadev.net/benj/2007/03/26/winpcapnet-first-release/ but I don't know whether anything's been done on it since then; SharpPcap's last release was in May of this year, so it appears to be active.)
