DirectPlay, a library for online gaming, exists for managed code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnplay/html
/dpov.asp
though I seem to remember they'll be substituting it with something else
soon(?)
There's also functionality in the namespace System.Net, specifically
System.Net.Sockets.
I think the open-source Ovorp GDK relies heavily on networking, you could
check that out.
