Well I started writing a messenger client, playing with the
dotnetMSN.dll assembly (MSN Messenger library to use MSN IM services).
So far I got it to send and receive text.
Do you know if this supports handwriting or drawing? Any idea of any
sample .NET apps or source code to make a drawing type app?
