Subject: Two things are missing in Miniclient
Group Chat and File Transfer. Any serious xmpp messenger client should have these features. Can Miniclient be extended to support these two features ? Can anyone pls provide VB.NET source code ?
Hi,
it would be no problem to add this features using agsXMPP. But the MiniClient is only a small sample application and not a complete chat application. So we didnt add it yet. Its possible that we extend it a bit in the future.

Hi deepak,
The best and easiest way for transfering files is to use the OOB protocol. YOu use this protocol to exchange the IP-address of the sending client and the filename. The rest is standard http protocol. One client acts as a small webserver, the other client just downloads the file from it. There are tons of samples for webservers and webrequests for .NET in the internet. So it should be no problem.
This is the protocol extension:

Groupchat works very similar to chat. For joining a room just send your presence to a chatroom. You will get all presences from the other participants. Sending a message is the same as sending a chat message. You send it to the room jid. I will extend the MiniClient Sample for GroupChat and Upload it soon.

Thank you very much Alex
Will this work if sender is out of my network ?? I mean two people from two different countries can send files to each other ??Quote by "Alex":The best and easiest way for transfering files is to use the OOB protocol.

if you both sites are behind NAT and you don't forward ports it will not work. Here you need a server in the middle (Proxy). A Webserver where you can Upload the file and the other person can download it. Or choose one of the other FileTransfer protocols in XMPP. Its also possible to send the file thru a XMPP server. But admins of public XMPP servers don't like this way because its lots of traffic.

Is Group Chat feature added in Miniclient ?
Its implemented but not released yet to the public.
We are also working on File-Transfer samples and additional controls for file transfer in the agsXMPP.ui component. We realease a new version when the file transfer code is finished and tested.
If you want or current code for groupchat just ping us, and we send you the code.
