Hi. I need to send messages to users that I couldn't use E-mails or The
Messenger Services on XP. Is it possible, to send messages for users using
pop-ups through VB.NET.

Thanks

Clayton
 
From one application user to another?
Building a (online/localserver) message database is one way I could think
of.

Yes. Tim... I use application to another

I have a system that the users to buy anything. When the user made a
Requsition, I'll send a message to manager, but the message couldn´t e-mail

Is it Possible?
 
Of course it's possible. The Internet is simply a network, and all the
traffic on it is messages from one computer to another. Email (SMTP) and
Windows Messenger are 2 of thousands of types of messages being transmitted
constantly from one machine to another, most of which you never even see.

What you have to do is to create a client/server networking application,
which has both a network client and a network server component. The server
listens for and responds to incoming connections from other clients, and the
client talks to a remote server. If you think of it like a telephone, a
telephone has a mouthpiece to talk, and an earpiece to listen. But in order
to talk to someone on the telephone, both people need to have a telephone
with both a mouthpiece and a receiver, and the ability to call up the other
person's telephone.

An easy way would just be to have a sql database (either online or on the
local network server) that puts messages in a table with a "from" userid,
"to" userid and the message itself, maybe with some priority and a "read
status" flag.
