I have started to teach myself how to program, and I would like to create a bnet client, but truth is, im a programming noob. Could someone tell me how to connect?

depends on how much VB you know, if not a lot then go here http://www.valhallalegends.com/cuphead/ocx_me.txt theres a tutorial

but, one thing has changed, the accept is: 579728

you'll know what i mean when you read more into the tutorial.

Im not using vb, Im using C#.Net, and Ive tried using VB and the OCX to make a bot but found it far too EZ. I kind of want a challenge.

alright then i cant help you. or if you want a challenge use VB and use winsocks to connect. then teach me! lol

You can get a cleanslatebot to connect to botnet?

Nobody mentioned BotNet...

I got a bot to connect to battle.net with the OCX, and I had it in the channel, but it took me like 10 minutes to make and that is kind of the noobs way out...

Here is what I know: When I connect, I have to send something like "Chr(1)", but I have no idea what that is. Then I send 0x50, and battle.net send 0x50 and 0x25 back. (I think).

Please help a failing noob!

I remember seeing that Myndfyre has posted quite a bit abuot C# Battle.Net prograqmming.  It has been rather recently also, try just scanning the topic names in this forum for aobut 4-5 pages.

If you want to make it a little more challenging, try doing it using the API calls instead of the OCX (there's a post about this in the Visual Basic forum, only 4-5 topics down).

Chr(1) is the "character" equivalent of 1. Exactly the same as the character equivalent of 61 is "a" ( Chr(61) ).

Yes, I think that's right too. But note, you don't literally send "0x50." 0x50 is an identifier of a packet. To figure out what that packet (0x50) contains, you could packet log a client sending it, and figure it out from there, or go on bnetdocs and look it up there.

Packet log.

Now how would I packet log, assuming that packet log is a verb phrase.

Well, if you don't want to packetlog, there's always BnetDocs.  It contains much information on the messages sent back and forth between you and Battle.Net, how they're formatted, and the correct orders to do so.  If you understand network programming, or can teach yourself, you'll want to check this out.
