IRC library in C# [closed]

Answer 1

I think the protocol is so simple you probably could do it yourself then. Really, I've tested some years ago using simply telnet! I'd get the source of some simple client and just implement the same commands.

Answer 4

Two years later, now there's ircdotnet which seems to work pretty well.

Should note that this does not yet (and will likely never) work for Windows 8 Metro-style (WinRT) apps.
