Download

Here you can download DotMSN. There are two packages available to download DotMSN. Either as a full-packed download with the compiled dll (signed and unsigned), vs.net xml documentation files, API documentation, example client and full source code. The second package contains only the latest dll and it's corresponding vs.net xml documentation file for intellisense. By downloading the DotMSN library you agree with the license terms explained below.

Packages

Current version is 2.0.2 (August 22, 2006). Please note that version 2.0 is NOT backwards-compatible with earlier releases!

• DotMSN 2.0.2 (August 22, 2006) Full package (~2,7 Mb)
• DotMSN 2.0.2 (August 22, 2006) Light package (only dll, ~250 Kb)

• DotMSN 2.0.1 (June 27, 2005) Full package (~2,7 Mb)
• DotMSN 2.0.1 (June 27, 2005) Light package (only dll, ~250 Kb)

Although it is recommended to migrate to 2.0 at some point the previous version 1.2 is still available for download. However as this codebase is considered obsolute (and has never been open-sourced) it is not provided with source code.

• DotMSN 1.2 (dll, ~100 Kb)
• DotMSN 1.2 example (zip, ~70 Kb)

External development

Thiago Sayao has extended DotMSN to implement MSNP11, and is definitely worth checking out. I am not involved in this project in any way, so you should direct your questions to him.

Changelog 2.0.2 (August 22, 2006)

• Converted solution and projects to Visual Studio.NET 2005.
• Now by default targeted at .NET 2.0 framework.
• Hostname resolving for IP's is not done anymore, which speeds up the inlog procedure and fixes exceptions that occured when the hostname could not be determined.
• Fixed bug in adding a contact. The contact was added twice to the allow list, instead of both the allow and forward list. [Thanks to numerous persons!]
• Fixed documentation for Messenger.CreateConversation(). The OnConversationCreated event is actually directly fired, opposed to what the documentation specified. [Thanks to Freek Nossin!]
• Fixed bug in MSNSLPhandler.cs. Property RemoveInvited was always set to true, regardless the value given. [Thanks to Freek Nossin!]
• Fixed bug in NS9MessageHandler.cs in OnADDReceived(). The contact added was not given a relation to the current NSMessageHandler. This is now fixed. [Thanks to George Faraj!]
• Fixed bugs in P2P handling.
• Changed P2P handling. Now pending processors that are establishing a direct connection are disconnected as soon as one connection is actually established.
• Changed various deprecated methods to new methods.
• Fixed working of MSNObject.FileLocation. Now a file is read into a memorystream, and retained there.

Changelog 2.0.1 (June 27, 2005)

• Added setting your display image to the example.
• Added right-to-left reading capabilities for TextMessage objects.
• Changed the color scheme of the example client.
• Made code changes to work with .NET 2.0 beta.
