VoIP

Hello ladies and gents! Short question with a long answer (most likely). I am working on a multiple-client instant messenging application, and I would like to put VoIP into it (Voice over IP). Do I have many weeks of headaches ahead of me or have the nice *cough* people at microsoft put something into VB.NET to make it easy for me

I'm using VB.NET2003 (don't ask....)

Thank you in advance.

    Thanks very much for the help. I'll give it a go!

    There's nothing special about voice over IP, apart from any patents being held by those that have developed compression and transmission algorithms to make it useable. It's just a stream of bytes. VoiceOver IP has been around a loooong time.

    You have a several of options:

    Contact someone who offers VOIP and ask them for the protocol (Bwahhhhaa!)

    Make your own - interface with the microphone, take the streaming bytes, shove them out over a TCP connection, rebuild them as streaming audio on the other end and play the resultant sound.

    Get someone else to do it for a price.

    Get someone else to do it for free (Bwaahhhaaa!)

    Don't go up against the big boys - use what they have - they may have a 'plugin' which hides all their patented technology, but allows you to incorporae an application in your application. Maybe they already have an SDK.

    The last item is probably your best option (Google Skype + API).

    Nah, I'm sticking with VS.NET2003 for the moment. Don't ask lol but seriously, that's what I'll be using.

    sip stands for session initiation protocol.it is actually a signaling protocol which is used for creating,modifying, and terminating session,sessions include internet telephone calls,multimedia distribution etc.it is used as signaling protocol with voice over ip and H.323.microsoft windows messenger uses sip and on linux Ekiga supports sip and many more.

    Maybe you'd like to download Visual Basic 2005 Express and give it a try

    Bwahahahaha indeed.

    But I'm talking about how to CODE it.

    Lots of Open Source Internet telephony projects around. Look here and especially here for one that uses .NET

    Thanks for the references people guys, I'll look them up! :-)

    So I take it there's no namespace hidden somewhere I guess it's not really a staple part of Windows, is it...


  • peterdarvas

    Alrighty. I looked them up and gave them each a try. And they all seem to be made for VS.NET2005.

    None of them will work on 2003 which I am using. Any ideas

    Please note that this is still in Beta, and I haven't tried it myself yet...
