I am getting a headache with standard socket class of .NET framework.
Could anybody recommend an efficient open source C# sockets (TCP + UDP) library for handling socket messages?

The .NET framework is already a library for handling tcp and udp. It simplifies the process greatly over the base winsock apis. So you want a library that sits on top of the library? Maybe you would then want another library on top of that? And another on top of that one?
My point is, you’re likely not going to find anything simpler than what the .net framework already provides. Sockets are a complex topic, and requires that you provide a great deal of implementation yourself.
What a library is often useful for is implementing some already established protocol (like SMTP or FTP), or maybe even giving you more tools to create your own protocol.
