At this moment, only HTTP over SSL is supported by the .NET runtime. You
can't create an SSL socket [however this will be supported in the new
version of the framework].
At the moment you'll have to use a third party library if you really need
SSL sockets. We have a free and open source library at
http://www.mentalis.org/soft/projects/seclib/

Thanks for the info. Any idea when the next version of the framework is due
out?
