Chatting application in C#

[speedchandu]

Can anyone suggest me how to develop a chatting application in C#?

You're going to have to be more specific than that!

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I mean what should I be knowing to make it possible. I am new to the developing field. I need your suggestions.

You need to use these concepts 1.WCF Web Service with the client polling the service (simple-basic scenario - easy to implement, not very efficient) 2.WCF Duplex Web Service with the server updating clients when needed (a bit more complicated) 3.TCP Socket-based solution, hardest to implement but permits much better control. There is a very good example in Matthew McDonald's book "Pro Silverlight 3" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4716279/need-concept-regarding-windows-based-chat-application[^]

Thanks

The client, or the server? What protocol? Does it need to interface with MSN? Or with Google Talk?
