What's the logical way to build a .NET based chat program? .NET Remoting?
MSMQ? Something else?

Thanks in advance.

There are two excellent examples in the framework sdk samples. One is in
the TcpClient samples and one in Events and Delegates. The TcpClient
example would be good for a peer to peer while the Events and Delegates
example would make a great foundation for a client/server.

Browse to the framework sdk installation on your pc, typically "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\", and search for chat.cs. Both
samples use files named chat.cs for the source so that is the easiest way to
find the examples.

Alternatively, I would suggest .Net Remoting and not MSMQ. I have tried
both and the MSMQ method didn't work out for my application.

Interesting. How would the TcpClient example be conceptually different than
..NET Remoting?

Thanks again for the lead.
