Lately I've been looking for a good networking API i could possibly use and/or reference some of the code within, but i have mere luck searching for some on Google/Bing. Hopefully somebody here has seen and/or used a helpful networking API for C#.

Thanks in advance.

I highly suggest you look into the Windows Communication Foundation. It comes with any version of .NET 3.0 or greater, so if you're using VS 2008, you've got all you need.

It abstracts a heck of a lot of the details for networking, providing you with a very simple programming API. Even protocol details are abstracted away, and there are a ton of protocols to chose from already built in.

Hands down the best way to communicate across a network.

Check out the System.Net and System.Net.Sockets namespaces in the .NET framework libraries. Eat your heart out.

Though I may have misunderstood your meaning of 'networking API'.
