Can anyone recommend where I can get a class library to provide NNTP
functions?

I'm after something I can use or build on which will allow me to pull down
articles from a newsgroup, and perhaps later in the project post back too.
Preferably free or low cost since this is for a hobby project, and
preferably with source code. Not fussed whether its VB.NET or C#.

Thanks.

Try searching for "nntp dotnet component" or "nntp dotnet class". Also, see
this article:

Show quote Hide quote Thanks for the reply. I've come across a number of partial implementions,
but not yet one which looks complete. So had wondered whether anyone was
working with one which they could recommend.

I'm not aversed to taking one of the partial implementions I can see and
building on it. Might be fun, and I'm sure I'd learn a lot.

Kind regards.

See these links for samples:

Indy would be my first choice because I've used it (including the NNTP
classes) when working with Delphi. My reluctance has been that the
development on a native .NET version seems to have stalled (and never got as
far as NNTP) and the .NET build (presumably from Delphi, dated Dec 2006) is
for .NET 1.1 with a warning that it doesn't work with the 2.0 framework (so
I guess the same warning applies if I want to use the 3.5 framework). I'll
download it for now and see. If it works then all well and good, if it
doesn't then I'll work through the other codeproject articles (and
presumably cobble my own together).

Kind regards.

For reference, you cross-posted to the wrong VB group. Details in the blurb
below:

[Canned response]

This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB
2005/2008 and VB Express, which have dropped .NET from their names) are
off-topic here.

Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The
*.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.*
groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server:
msnews.microsoft.com.

For questions specific to the VB.NET language, use this group:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Please note that things like controls and data access, which have their own
subgroups in the Classic VB hierarchy, are not language-specific in .NET, so
you should look for groups like these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

(Note that "vb" is not present in the group name.)

Actually, this is posted to the correct group...

AAAAGGGGHHHH!

Forgive my blindness, folks!

I was actually making an assumption because I'm familiar with "Nobody's"
posts in the Classic VB group and just figured that's where the VB side of
this came from.

That was my chuckle for the day....

Actually, it's not.
