Hello,

the way to send formatted messages in XMPP is to use XHTML
see: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0071.html

If you use a RTF Control for creating the messages, then you have to create a RTF -> XHTML converter. Or you have to create your own XMPP extension which allows you to send RTF text.

JEP-0071 is supported by the library.

Hi deepak,

This JEP is already build in in agsXMPP. If you want to use it then look at the HTML property of the message class. Here you can set the X-HTML of a formatted message.

Here is a small sample how to create the following X-HTML Message of the JEP:

XML-Message
  1. <message>
  2.  <body>hi!</body>
  3.  <html xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im'>
  4.     <body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
  5.       <p style='font-weight:bold'>hi!</p>
  6.     </body>
  7.  </html>
  8. </message>

C# Source code
  1. agsXMPP.protocol.client.Message msg = new agsXMPP.protocol.client.Message();
  2. msg.Body = "hi!";          
  3. msg.Html =  new agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.html.Html();
  4. msg.Html.InnerXml = "<body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p style='font-weight:bold'>hi!</p></body>";

Thank you for the code Alex... I have two more doubts..

1. Do you know any rtf to xhtml converter ?
2. How can we display xhtml message in rtf control.... Is there any xhtml to rtf converter ?
