I want to create a chat application in which there is a ComboBx. I want to fill it with all the computer names in a network. How can I accomplish this in C#?

Answer 1

The best option for discovering other computers in a LAN running the same application is probably mDNS.

Have a look at the Bonjour SDK for Windows which comes with a COM library usable from C# and sample code.
