This is more aimed at nvoigt, but what's the coolest/most complicated thing you've ever done in C#? I'm trying to get ideas...something with winsock maybe?

Well... up to now I did no serious projects with C#. I tried and tweaked and tested a bit though. The most complicated were real easy small GUI apps for calculating DSA RPG characters.
(DSA is a german pen&paper roleplaying game. new edition is out and you need to be real quick with a calculator to get a char going). Nothing fancy, just arrays and loops and number crunching.
The coolest ? Remoting. You create an object. Set up a server on one PC and a client on the other. The client creates the object and its running on the server over http-tunneling. I got it from a book and I though jeez... it just cannot be so simple. It's just 20 lines or so for the client, server AND object. And it's running fine.
The thing that left me starring at the screen drooling ?
Test application: Wrote a class in VB. Derived a class from that one in C++. Called the C++ class' function defined in VB in a C#project. Runs like a charm. Just awesome.
You might remember I wanted to create a game in C#. I'm not sure I can manage, there have been some... uhm... difficulties... ex-gf, 9/11 etc... but I have 3 weeks of holidays on my hands right now, maybe I will start today

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.

I'm in awe... .NET is great...
Hmmm...I know what you mean about winsock being so incredibly simple. I made an email client (it's simple right now...I wrote it in like 10 minutes!) and I just sort of stared at the screen when I was done and said "That's it?" I've been meaning on working on something else involving wsock, though...the email thing has it's own predefined class, which made it MUCCCHHH easier.
Hmmm...a game in C#...that could be fun! but I doubt OpenGL/DirectX in C# is a topic that there are a lot of tutorials on...
