I'm trying to find a good source for programming sockets with VB.NET. The
examples in the MSDN help do not show how to accept incoming connections and
add this connection to a local array or something similar. Basically, my
application will accept a connection, but the client, after the connection is
accepted, must authenticate; if it does not, the connection is dropped. But,
the sockets are asynchronous and there can be up to 25 different connections,
so I need to know how to differentiate between them. Any ideas on a good
book?
 
I highly recommend as I use them for teaching:
1) MS-Press Network Programming for the Microsoft .NET Framework; by
Jones/Ohlund/Jones; ISBN 0-7356-1959-X
It contains one of the best explanations of streams btw.

2) Wrox, Professional .Net Network Programming, ISBN 1-86100-735-3
(or look at Apress if Wrox doesn't offer it any more)
This is more difficult to read, yet goes into more details.
