This might be a long shot, but I'm looking for a C# or VB.Net newsgroup
server complete with source code which I can use and customise as the basis
for a project I'm contemplating. This would save me considerable time over
starting from scratch.

TIA.

I see on your website you also work with Delphi. If the language (C# or
VB.NET) is not a hard requirement, you could take a look at Hamster.

http://www.arcorhome.de/newshamster/tgl/misc/hamster_en.html

I use it for testing my own NNTP client, and it works pretty well,
supporting RFC997, and a large subset of RFC2980 and RFC3977.

I'm tending to develop less with Delphi these days, as so much of my work is
now focused on VB.Net (sometimes C#). So I'm hoping to use VB.Net for this
project.

Thank you for this, it will be useful - at the very least it will let me see
how someone else has approached it.

The last time I looked at Indy (I wanted to read from a NNTP server then)
the .NET stuff was incomplete. Fine for Delphi (no, "excellent" for Delphi)
but not for much else. The .NET support is supposedly a rewrite, but is
sadly incomplete. Thank you for the suggestion though.

If I were to use Delphi with this then I'd probably use Indy, but I really
want to go VB.Net or C#. Either way, I've got plenty of time to research
this before I start.
