I'm looking for a .NET-Class library or .NET-Framework which implements ant colony optimization. Can you give me any links, resources, etc. about this topic.

I don't think the `ant` tag is appropriate for this question. It is used for Apache Ant – Rich Seller Oct 08 '09 at 17:11

1Out of interest, what type of problem are you solving using ant colony optimisation? – Kirk Broadhurst Sep 12 '10 at 03:20

Konrad Rudolph has published a short tutorial on ACO's on a german programming website.
It contains a fully-working VB.NET example project (in English) solving a Traveling Salesman Problem using an ACO.

Downloaded the source code, but could not find the map file? any help is highly appreciated.. (the language is german could not investigate any further :D) – SHM Dec 07 '18 at 19:19

Have a look at Wikipedia article. It provides a good desription of the algorithm. The algorithm is rather easy to implement based on that arcicle.
www.aco-metaheuristics.org provides some more info on subject.
I have implemented a solution to travelling salesman problen using python. It is not .NET but maybe it is some help for you.

Have a look at this MSDN article by James McCaffrey, I've been using a modified version of it for a while and it gave me very satisfying results. The article is very clear and the code is very clean and efficient.
