If you are specifically dealing with a publish/subscribe scenario, I would advise using ZeromMQ (clrzmq + libzmq). ZeroMQ is extremely easy to use and very fast. You'll find plenty of C# examples, corresponding to various scenarios on the ZeroMQ site. Depending on your specific needs, you can combine ZeroMQ and OpenPGM to do pgm (tcp) or epgm (udp) multicasting.

Simply use UdpClient class. Later you can move to TCP, if you need more reliability. UDP is simplest way to send messages across network.
