Hi,

If you need to build a chat feature using ASP.Net, I would like to suggest you having a look at this existed thread answered by Lance Zhang - MSFT: http://forums.asp.net/t/1371574.aspx. It gives five choices to make it.

Actually, if you give a search using google, you will find thousands of samples on the internet, like these:

hello all is there any way to read yahoo emails in my web application?? help me out if it is???

You will have to upgrade to Yahoo's Mail Plus service which is $19 per year for access to pop accounts, so that you can read your email outside of their client.

Is The yahoo Chat also paid??i mean if i want to embid chat from yahoo id in my web page??

According to the link above you will have to pay for access to their pop servers, I don't think there is any other way of accessing them without paying.

I don't think they make their chat available  to developers. You might want to have a look at some of the open source IM clients like Pidgin or Miranda IM to see how they do it. Just Google them for more information. Here is the list of public webservices and apis Yahoo makes available.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that product. I can only suggest that you contact their tech support for assistance with their product.

Hi,

I suggest you can have the discussion in a new thread since this one is just talking about chat feature and has been alread closed that few members will jump in to give more advices.
