Looking for library for Instant Messaging, like libpurple, but written in C#

Question

I\'m looking for an Instant Messaging library that at minimum supports YM, MSN protocol - preferably free but if it\'s worth to pay, why not.

Answer 1

I've never heard of a multi-protocol IM library for .NET... there are separate implementations for almost all protocols, however. If you really need that, I suggest you create your own library ;).

I can see 2 main options for doing that :

• Create a .NET wrapper for libpurple
• Use the existing separate protocol implementations, extract an abstraction level that fits all of them, and put them all together.

I think the first approach is the best, because the abstraction level probably already exists in libpurple. Whichever you choose, it's going to be a lot of work anyway...
