Gain an in-depth understanding of networking for the .NET Framework with the guidance of three Microsoft network programming experts. This book focuses on the System.Net and System.Net.Sockets namespaces – the core building blocks for all managed network applications – and demonstrates their relationship to high-level communication technologies available through XML Web Services and .NET Remoting. Topics covered include managed I/O, threading, serialization, URIs, .NET Remoting, HTTP, FTP, client and server sockets, DNS, security issues, and network performance – with code samples in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET in the book and on the Web. Whether you’re a Win32-based network developer moving to the .NET Framework or you”re an XML Web services or .NET Remoting developer who wants a more grounded understanding of these technologies, this book delivers the code and instruction you need.
