what about legacy messenger service

hi there,

I noticed there's no legacy messenger service anymore, and the NET SEND command is now unknown.

I'd like to know whether applications which relies on it will continue to work or not, and, if not, which is the best way to migrate them.

I'm testing beta 5384 and it's the first Vista for me, so I don't know about previous ones.

thank you.

Was there a particular SDK function you had a concern with?

I have an app which basically replaces part of the messenger service functionality; there's code to start\stop\disable it which doesn't work anymore.

I found there is no messenger service anymore, so I wonder how related applications will work: some rely on NET SEND command, others expects the messenger service listening on the client for notifications.

Hi,

Since you asked for a perticular API, I am facing problem with API NetMessageBufferSend on VISTA.

Also there is no Messange Service.

Do you know if Net Send is discontinued in VISTA? Is there any alternative to sending Net Send in VISTA?

Your help on this will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks.

You can get LanTalk XP as net send compatible messenger:

Or LanTalk NET as better variant, but not compatible with net send
