I would say that the most essential requirement would be the ability to read posting guidelines, followed quite quickly by learning to not use "txt-spk" when expecting to be taken seriously

Web chat or not?

Than pay close attention for Solution 1. This is a really way to go. Read about server push.

Can u provide me the logic behind chatting on web based application.
Step by step or provide tutorial. SignalR 2 is library. I want the concept behind chat

Peter Leow 7-Apr-15 12:08pm

Follow the tutorial and get your hands dirty.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 7-Apr-15 12:37pm

Exactly. Our inquirer forgot that this is a Quick Questions & Answers forum. And that hard work is required...

5ed. Using SignalR is a good idea, because server push is the key (for good quality chat).
Not that it only applies to Web chat — see also Solution 2.

Thank you, Sergey.

what about XMPP?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 7-Apr-15 15:21pm

Well yes, you can use it...

which is better XMPP, SignalR or Comet And Why

"Better or not" is very subjective. Despite all the advices, if you still unsure, then you should really invest time to research into your options and make your decision. I think that should wrap up the discussion.

Solution 2

You can use sockets or WCF (Google will find you many examples).

5ed, but it would not apply to a Web chat. Please see Solution 1.
Well, this is certainly a pretty bad question...

True, but it is 'that sort of question'.
