How to attach to Messenger? by can16358p on 10-08-2006 at 08:11 PM
Hello, I'm trying to create a plugin, a chatbot, but a "smart" one with very advanced features.
Plus Live Scripting API can't do what I need. Does anybody know how do I attach (or whatever you call that) to msnmsgr.exe just like Plus itself does. (I'm using .NET 2.0, C#)
I know it's more a programming question than a Plus Scripting question, but maybe somebody knows what to do.

you can't, in C#. (without a whole lot of messy messy unmanaged code) however, you can create managed add-ins for WLM, but they can't do much.

Actually, i'm sure it can. if not, you can call features in a DLL (even a managed one)

if you're looking to make a bot, i don't think the activity sdk will be very helpful
there are however sdks made for creating msn bots:

Yes if you really want to make a bot then use one of the SDK's. I advice you to use the Colloquis Buddyscript SDK... but that's just my personal opinion.
If you are going to choose one of the bot SDK's, make sure you read this blog item I wrote about them.
