服务器/客户端C＃

Question

I'm getting tired of working in vb.net, vb6, and C#. So i have decided to convert everything I'm using into one programming language which is C#. My problem right now is what I should use for a 2-d game. I'm trying to build a client/server for a small 2-d game. What I need is to figure out which would be best for about a server that will most likely hold about 5 - 30 (maybe more) people at a time. I heard UPD is better than TCP but I'm not sure. I want to use BinaryWriter and BinaryReader with the server. Another part I'm having trouble to figure out is how to set it up so that the server will read data from the client but then call a function or a sbu and pass the data to that which will then handle it and create a file or do something else then if it needs to send data back to the server. Any help would be great. Eventually I would like to use this client/server as a base for a small 3-D board game I'm working on in Unity3D.

For networked gaming where the 'action' is happening quickly, UDP is much better. Rather than write a long paragraph, here is a link with similar thoughts to mine.
