VB6 and msn client

Post by moudy »

Hello every one :)
I wanted to work on this small project, i want to make a small app. that can connect me to msn server... for now I'm working on the connection, later on ill add more features if i get to know VB6 better
I researched a lot on the internet, and read stuff about winsock, and a 3 phase authentication process, and tried to grab the concept behind it.
What im asking for is, can some one provide me with a starter, some thing to build on, or at least a functional way to connect to msn server.
thanks in advance 8)

I would have to follow the Msn Messenger protocol. Easiest would be to use their API, it should be available for VB.

Examples:

Code: Select all

Older Msn Messnger protocols

Code: Select all

Newer unofficial protocol sources

Code: Select all

Live Activity API

Code: Select all

Windows Messenger MSDN Docs

Code: Select all

That is all I have right now, you would need to find something more VB specific like a library and an API
