How to retrieve Someone's Avatar/Photo with agsXmpp

this is wh开发者_StackOverflow中文版at I have so far:

void xmppConnection_OnReadXml(object sender, string xml)
    {
        if (xml.Contains(XmlTags.PhotoOpen))
        {
            int startIndex = xml.IndexOf(XmlTags.PhotoOpen) + XmlTags.PhotoOpen.Length;
            int length = xml.IndexOf(XmlTags.PhotoClose) - startIndex;
            string photoHash = xml.Substring(startIndex, length);
        }
    }

I guess I can't undo the hash, but I want to the get a person's avatar/photo. How do I achieve this?

You need to handle the VCard events and responses from XMPP connection:

        private void vcardToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RosterNode node = rosterControl.SelectedItem();
        if (node != null)
        {
            frmVcard f = new frmVcard(node.RosterItem.Jid, XmppCon);
            f.Show();
        }
    }

The above is from the miniclient solution example from the AGSXMPP download. Note, it happens when a user request a VCARD for a user. You can initiate that request whenever you want, however.

private void VcardResult(object sender, IQ iq, object data)
    {
        if (InvokeRequired)
        {
            // Windows Forms are not Thread Safe, we need to invoke this :(
            // We're not in the UI thread, so we need to call BeginInvoke               
            BeginInvoke(new IqCB(VcardResult), new object[] { sender, iq, data });
            return;
        }
        if (iq.Type == IqType.result)
        {
            Vcard vcard = iq.Vcard;
            if (vcard!=null)
            {
                txtFullname.Text    = vcard.Fullname;
                txtNickname.Text    = vcard.Nickname;
                txtBirthday.Text    = vcard.Birthday.ToString();
                txtDescription.Text = vcard.Description;
                Photo photo = vcard.Photo;
                if (photo != null)
                    picPhoto.Image      = vcard.Photo.Image;
            }


        }
    }

That is what happens when someone requests the VCARD information from XMPP and the IQ type matches the proper data. You can thenpull the photo from vcard.Photo.

You trigger the pull with:

VcardIq viq = new VcardIq(IqType.get, new Jid(jid.Bare));
con.IqGrabber.SendIq(viq, new IqCB(VcardResult), null);     

The first line there is the request to the XMPP server, that the VCARD form uses to request user information.

The second line there, sets up another grabber (callback of sorts), that the form uses to wait for the information to arrive, and then parse out the necessary information. IN this case, the grabber is in a new form, so that the main application doesn't have to worry about parsing that information.

You can look at the entire source by extracting the AGSXMPP zip file to your local drive, and looking in the Samples\VS2008\miniclient folder.
