    LAN Chating

    HI folks,

    So, I have a small netowork at my home, and would be usefull if I had a
    INstant Messenger, but that just works on LANs, something like "net send"
    command used to be, however it could send messages to any computer.

    I've been searching about it, but I do know where to start!, i say using
    messaging, net.sockets, but I do not Know which is the best for this occasion.

    Any comments would be very helpful,

    Thanks in advance

    Download the SDK for RTC ( real time communications ) see this lab I wrote
    for a VideoPhone, this will give you a few pointers to start with.

        Sorry to deviate from main thread...

        The AdvancedBasics article here showing P2P Comm Using Web Services uses
        Poll Method as specified by the author.
        < From article>
        "That's sort of what I'm trying to accomplish here using Web services over
        HTTP. A client connects, sends a request, gets a response, and the
        connection is closed by the server. For a client to get an event
        notification from a server using HTTP has always required polling on the
        part of the client, and that is exactly what my sample app does."
        </From Article>

        My question is that Polling doesn't seem that decent solution. Are there
        other possibilities to tackle this? I have heard about WS Eventing but can't
        find some concrete info about it. Actually I myself might be needing to
        implement a Publish Subscribe model ( a little like chat server but with lot
        more fucntionality ) and I am reluctant for WebServices due to lack of this
        kind of feature, Socket has its own problems, Remoting is quite notorious.
        So I am a bit puzzled.


        The question is the same though. What things are available instead of
        Polling for Asynchronous Server to Client communication ?


        Any help and idea is most appreciated.
        Thank You

            Hi,

            Well my idea was that WS-Eventing isnt included in the WSE2 - atleast not on
            the WhatsNew page that you sent.
            Also, reading between the lines, I got the impressions that WS-Eventing is
            in some Beta or some Infancy phase.

            Someone can confirm the status of the WS-Eventing though.

            Thank You
