Recommend book/resources for C# network programming?

I'm working on a project that involves 2-way TCP/IP communication between a server and multiple clients over persistent socket connections. It's actually a non-game project but I'm sure the same principles apply, and it is an area of game-programming I've always wanted to understand better. I'm working in C# so can anyone recommend a one-volume book on this topic relevant to this language? I could definitely do with learning more about networking generally, but I do want something that covers my particular area - not just a book on networking but one which explains how to accomplish things in C#/.NET effectively. I do not need it to be a book, but I do want it to be up to date and cohesive... say a series of articles online, that guides me through. I'm an experienced developer and have done quite a lot with C#, but little bare networking code - typically I've done HTTP web requests or used networking middleware that obscures some of the low-level details I need to know now. Many thanks in advance!

The one that talks about "the protocols" is the most important. The others will give you more detailed insights into specifics of implementations (although those implementations are somewhat outdated by now.)

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };
