That totally depends on what you know!
You can make anything you want if you put your mind to it. but first you need to understand want you want.
Search codeproject articles for chat, there are many examples.
Search google for vb chat irc etc. etc. and there are many many more examples.
If you want to write your own IRC, then you need to get your hands on the RFC for IRC and work out how all the protocols work and write the code to do it. again, google your friend.
