How do I learn how to do this? Is there any good resources you know of?
Because I want to learn game programming, I want to learn UDP sockets not TCP sockets…
I searched google but I could not find anything good that was not outdated 🙁

Remember that XNA gives you only limited networking functionality, because the games are supposed to run on Games Live platform, so your options are:

The transport level is pretty much abstracted from you, so if you want to dive deep into TCP/UDP (and chose one over another). you should abandon native XNA networking, and just use
System.Net. This will work only for desktop games.You may start reading from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163648.aspx
