connect to chatroom using jabber-net xmpp client library

I am about to start creating a chat application in .net using xmpp.

To begin with I looked for 2 things. An xmpp server and any kind of .net xmpp client libraries to start building the client.

As far it concerns the server part, I ve selected openfire. So I' ve downloaded it, intalled it and set it to run. Unfortunately with no any client yet to test it.

From the client's part, I ve set my mind to work with jabber-net, but it is quite harse for me because I have not a clue of what I should do here and I think that the documentation is pretty insufficient...

What I am looking for is if someone can give me the proper handle to begin with (not the jabber-net wiki "begin").

Is it possible by just implementing the jabberclient and setting its properties (i.e. NetworkHost, Server, Proxy, User etc) to connect to a chatroom?

Thanx in advance!

Yes. Drop the following controls onto a design surface:

  1. JabberClient
  2. PresenceManager
  3. RosterManager
  4. ConferenceManager (the MUC implementation)
  5. DiscoManager (find the MUC server)
  6. CapsManager (always use XEP-0115)

They should mostly all hook up to one another automatically. Register callbacks wherever you like (e.g. PresenceManager.OnPrimarySessionChange). Set whatever properties you want on the JabberClient (perhaps using muzzle.ClientLogin), then call Connect() on JabberClient:

muzzle.ClientLogin.Login(jabberClient1, "login.xml");

Create a room object, register callbacks, and join the room:

Room r = ConferenceManager1.GetRoom("room@server/nick");
r.OnJoin += ... (etc)
r.Join();

If you read and understand the Example application, you should see some of this in action.
