I having been making a DnD IM for about two years now. I have most of the code written, and the interface set. However I do not have the code nessicary for online interaction. Can anyone give me a hand on how to implement such means into my program?

DnD? Department of national Defense? Dungeons and Dragons? I'm confused (Excuse me if its something obvious)

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
I usually refer to DnD as Drag and Drop, but I'm not sure it makes sense in this context?

With a two year design it may be something new. If you don't mind my asking, what took so long? For networking you need to implement a TCP or UDP client/server to send data. There is a C# example on here that would be easy to convert to VB.NET.

I would recommend TCP over UDP for IM, since the bandwith is fairly low, there's no need to use UDP.

It means Dungeons and Dragon. I am trying to implement the game Dungeons and Dragons in a IM form. It will allow for a DM(Dungeon Master) to set a setting up and use other features to set up a game of DnD. Then the players can interact with other users with a Text Based Interface. But the IM itself will save a character and profile, along with all your character stats and weapons and items and allow you to use them. But you will be able to interact with other people through IM.

Sounds neat. Have you found the network information you need?

Not exactly. I found some in java doing a google search, but java is such a pain. Soon I am thinking about converting all my code from my VB version of the IM to a Ada program. But first I want to get the code down, can you give me a hand finding it?

I could introduce you to my sora classes, which would allow to setup a MSN account as a DM, and then everyone could just join using MSN.
