IRC integration?

I was wondering, is there some way to get Visual Basic.Net to be able to connect to IRC? I'm still sort of new to Visual Basic coding, and I was wondering if there was a simple way to do this.

Thanks!

Since the Winsock control is not native to VB.Net, and using it will probably leave undesirable results, you need to use the System.Net.Sockets namespace. The TcpClient will be something that you will want to look at. However, this is a pain sometimes. If I recall correctly, there is a fairly decent one at (surprisingly) Planet Source Code. You can use it or the TcpClient to connect to an IRC server.
