    NNTP class ?


    Does this exist in the.net framework ? I can't find it. I could find SMTP,
    though.
    If it doesn't, could anybody recommend a component suite that includes smtp,
    pop, nntp ? But mainly, that does include nntp.

    Thanks,

    In the future, please avoid cross-posting.

    There's a simple NNTP client here:

      Have a look at Indy (http://www.nevrona.com/Indy/Indy.html). It's been
      around for Delphi for a long time (so the code is stable) and it just got
      re-compiled for .NET as well.

        Why? It's much better than opsting multiple times, once to each different
        group. Any reasonable news reader will correctly mark a cross-posted
        article as "read" in the other groups when you read it the first time in
        the first cross-posted group.

        Cross-posting is a reasonable thing to do when you don't know where to ask
        or the question truly applies to different groups. Additionally, replies
        from other groups also show up everywhere, eliminating duplicity. In this
        question, I would think it perfectly appropriate to cross-post. Things get
        really annoying when people post the same thing several times to each group
        though.

          I agree, for the most part. There ARE times when it is appropriate, and
          it is a lot better than multiple posts to different groups. Sometimes you
          just don't know exactly where it fits best, and you can get a better
          response posting across several related groups. Some people tend to
          automatically say "don't crosspost", even before they actually read the
          message to see if it is necessary or not.

            I probably should have put "Please don't cross post to groups unrelated to
            your query".
            It was posted to these:
            microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.windowsform s.controls,micr osoft.public.do t
            net.general,mic rosoft.public.d otnet.languages .csharp
            Only m.p.d.general seems really appropriate, especially not
            windowsforms.co ntrols.

              Hi,

              Thanks for your link to codeproject, that's nice.

              Respecting the comments about crossposting, yes, it is annoying some times,
              but do you think that one someone decide to crosspost is just because the
              sky is cloudy or the dog is barking ?
              In this case, and well, in other case, I always have this doubt : microsoft
              don't have special groups for 3rdparty component. Borland does have them,
              btw.

              So, I posted to C#, because I think the most advanced programmers are there
              (IMHO) and probably had the need to use a nntp class before ... again it is
              IMHO.
              I posted to to the "controls" groups, because, well, what the heck, where
              do you post to ask about components that are not windows controls !?!?!?
              Please tell me.
              I mean, if "controls" groups is for visual controls, then where is the group
              for non-visual controls ? or a control/component for nntp is not a control ?
              I am start to getting confused here.

              And latelly, I posted to "general" because I felt non of the above really
              were 100% appropiate.


              Thanks again for your link,


              Regards,

                Thanks a lot !! I didn't know Indy was available for dotNet now !
                Why nobody told me ? <g>
                I used it in Delphi some time ago, they are great components.

                Thanks,

                  Hehe, I did not know either, but I just receive Delphi 8 (which now
                  compiles for .NET) so I guess it was a simple recompile for them!

                  Yeah, they are awesome... I was very happy to hear that they came out with
                  a working .NET version.
