Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a chat room in c#. A codeproject article adviced me to store the chats in ArrayList temporarily. My question is that wouldn't making an ArrayList for every 2 client slow down the responding speed of my server? Will there be any special requirement that my server config must fulfill like ram must be of that size and above? Or what must I use to store the chats of 2 users if I don't need them in future?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Akky

@Humayun : Yes, I want it to somewhat like hipchat as I want to store it first temporarily and then send to user if he/she demands but this feature of getting chat is available till the time user exits the application.
Thanks,
Akky

Even though many of the articles can be found on this topic i.e. chat rooms in asp.net.

But the following has helped me a lot in creation of a chat application.

the following link implements your desired logic, by storing messages in a SQL table only untill the receiver receives it.

For further detail and implementation download the zip project and read the complete article.

Chat-Application-in-ASP-NET-Using-AJAX-Pop-up

NOTE: the application is in VB but can be converted in C# by any online converter.

Hope it will help you. :)

Solution 1

Its depends on what type of chat room you want to build. Because there are many way to store your message. Like yahoo store their message on their server. they don't store any message on session or array. On hipchat they send the message to the member and if member offline then message go to the email. So, First decide what type of chat room you want to build.
thanks!
