DotNet Network Library Links and HOWTOs

A lot of people have blogged about System.NET tips and tricks. Esp from Microsoft, prior System.Net team members (Jon Cole, Durgaprasad Gorti, Malar Chinnusamy) have authored blog posts on how to do stuff with System.Net.

Non microsoft folks have also stepped up to the plate. For eg, Stephen Cleary has written a very good concise blog on System.Net HOWTOs and FAQs.

In this post, I aim to categorize all of them and link them in one place, so that it will be easy to find for people who need information.
