Introduction
I'm planning to write some articles based on questions I get from fellow students. The first one is how to get on IRC with C#? . So, here it is, the first article of (hopefully) many.
Let's start by telling what IRC is. This is best done by reading the Internet Relay Chat Protocol RFC. You can find anything you want about the IRC protocol in there.
Getting on IRC is as simple as:
- Establishing a connection.
- Logging in.
- Maintaining a connection and reacting to commands.
As this is an article on how to establish an IRC connection and work with the commands, I'm not going to spent any time on UI. Therefore this will be a simple Console Application ( cIRC ).
We'll make a seperate class for the IRC functions so we could re-use it later when we want to add a UI.
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.IO;
namespace System.Net {
public class IRC {
} /* IRC */
} /* System.Net */

That is not a C# error.. It's actually an IRC error, which means you connected to the server. You need to do a few commands so that you can login/etc.
Example:
USER Veeresh Veeresh :Veeresh Veeresh\r\n
NICK Veeresh\r\n
JOIN #quakenet\r\n
PRIVMSG #quakenet :Hey, what's up\r\n
i tried to run this application, i got following error, plz help me out.
NOTICE AUTH :* Looking up your hostname NOTICE AUTH : Checking Ident NOTICE AUTH :** Couldn't look up your hostname :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first. :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first. :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first. :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first. :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first. :blueyonder2.uk.quakenet.org 451 * :Register first.
