Not sure if this is the right forum to post this but I'd sure like to see Microsoft release a power pack that allows us to integrate MSN Messenger with Visual Basic 2005 (establish conversation, send and receive data would be the basic functionality).
An "Office Communicator 2005" component would also do.
Thanks Microsoft!

I've seen several requests both on the VB forums as well as on the Internet requesting this. This power pack would allow developers to integrate VB applications with backend SQL databases to automatically deliver information to customers via IM bots.
Examples of customers requests typed on a regular MSN conversation:
- Price for Product ABC
- Temperature in Miami
- Exchange rate of Yen
- Information for Product ABC
- Customer Statement
- etc, etc, etc, etc
Thanks Microsoft!
I think a msn addon component would be good for legitimate reasons but I agree with dereck in the wrong hands it could defiently be a dangorous tool, we only have to look at the problems yahoo had with there messenger.
