Hello,
I am want to make a project using vb.net that works with news groups.
Specifically go thru all directries, then all messages looking for key words
in messages then displaying them on screen.
I seem t not beable to google anything on working with newgroups in vb.net.
then again maybe I am using the wrong keywords,
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

P.

This data would be stored in a database like Sql Server or Oracle or
MySql. Chech those groups and you'll probably find something.

I'm just guessing, but I'll bet it has something to do with full text
searching.

Newsgroups use NNTP protocol. So try to search for NNTP and VB .NET.
