Question
I've got an application which i want to send some alerts information. Currently, it's firing off emails -> works perfectly fine.
I was hoping to intergrate this server application with one/many Instant messenger services, such as MSN Messenger or Google Chat. I'm not sure what my options are, though.
Has anyone any information if this is possible?
Lastly, i need to do this with .NET.
Cheers :)
Solution
See also, MSNPSharp, which is strictly focused just on MSN's IM protocol.
OTHER TIPS
I think the libpurple library is the most common way to do this. That's what many of the multi-protocol clients like Adium and Pidgin and Meebo use to talk to the actual IM services like Google/jabber, Yahoo, and MSN.
This claims to be libpurple with .NET bindings:
jabber-net is a C# library that lets you send messages over the XMPP protocol (used by Google Talk)
