I nee to develope chatting application.

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 make a search using google, you will find thousands of samples on the internet, like this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/ajax/ChatRoom.aspx.

Put this in your code behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
            TextBoxConversation.Text = "Welcom to barterlinks";
        ManageUI();
        RefreshConversation();
    }

    void ManageUI()
    {
        if (GetUserID() == null)
        {
            // if this is the first request, then get the user's ID
            TextBoxMessage.Enabled = false;
            TextBoxConversation.Enabled = false;
            ButtonAddYourMessage.Enabled = false;

            ButtonSubmitID.Enabled = true;
            TextBoxUserID.Enabled = true;
        }
        else
        {
            // if this is the first request, then get the user's ID
            TextBoxMessage.Enabled = true;
            TextBoxConversation.Enabled = true;
            ButtonAddYourMessage.Enabled = true;

            ButtonSubmitID.Enabled = false;
            TextBoxUserID.Enabled = false;
        }
    }

    void RefreshConversation()
    {
        List<string> messages = (List<string>)Cache["Messages"];
        if (messages != null)
        {
            string strConversation = "";

int nMessages = messages.Count;

            for (int i = nMessages - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                string s;

                s = messages[i];
                strConversation += s;
                strConversation += "\r\n";
            }

            TextBoxConversation.Text =
                strConversation;
        }
    }

protected void ButtonAddYourMessage_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

        // Add the message to the conversation...
        if (this.TextBoxMessage.Text.Length > 0)
        {
            List<string> messages = (List<string>)Cache["Messages"];
            if (messages != null)
            {
                this.TextBoxConversation.Text = "";

string strUserID = GetUserID();

                if (strUserID != null)
                {
                    messages.Add(strUserID +
                        ": " +
                        TextBoxMessage.Text);
                    RefreshConversation();

                    TextBoxMessage.Text = "";
                }
            }
        }
    }
    protected void ButtonSubmitID_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Session["UserID"] =
            TextBoxUserID.Text;
        ManageUI();
    }

    protected string GetUserID()
    {
        string strUserID =
            (string)this.Session["UserID"];

return strUserID;
}

add a Global.asax remove every thing and place this in it

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace ="System.Collections.Generic" %>

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup
        List<string> messages = new List<string>();
        HttpContext.Current.Cache["Messages"] = messages;

    }

    void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs on application shutdown

    }

    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

}

    void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs when a new session is started

}

    void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs when a session ends.
        // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
        // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer
        // or SQLServer, the event is not raised.

}

did you try googling? There are loots of help resources available on this.

create chat application in asp.net - Google Search

one of them is:

Simple Chat Application in ASP.NET.

common trend is to add a third party service to application like SightMax (i used it and quite easy), Netop, BoldChat etc....

if using third party service, you just need to install server and operator setups, defining VDs in your websites, creating operator logins, sales ques to perticular website.

hope it helps./.
