Can I make chat application OVER INTERNET without (General questions)

by Aykut Can, Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 14:09 (4603 days ago)

I wonder if I can make a chat application like msn or skype or yahoo messenger ? Of course there will be a server side (I have a web server that I can install applications) and client side. I want to embed a chat system in my vb6 application but it must be done without port forwarding and administrating router systems. Also there will be more than one users on client side (of course). can I do that with modVPN activex ? I could not find any similar scenario among samples.

if not, what can you suggest ?

best regards.

Hi Aykut,

If you're creating a chat application, then I would strongly suggest that you check wodXMPP instead. It uses XMPP (Jabber) protocol for sending/receiving messages, and can work with any Jabber server.

You can find more info on wodXMPP here: http://www.weonlydo.com/XMPP/xmpp-icq-msn-component.asp

Also, if you install trial version, you will have samples written in VB which I believe would help you out the most.
