Is there some kind of API for MSN protocol (for using in C# asp.net application)?

i was wandering, is there some kind of .NET API for MSN protocol, so I can make chat application which uses Windows Live Messenger data and servers.

If not than I will use .Net Sockets, TCP + UDP, but this is not very easy task, time consuming, and also ... you need strong server to support Chat Server (开发者_如何学Pythonused to push and redirect messages to connected users)

Thanks all in advance,

Cheers!

There is MSNPSharp, a third-party open source .NET wrapper for the MSN protocol written in C#.
