A C# library for chatting on an IRC (Internet Relay Protocol) network.

Supports most of RFC 1459 and a little of 2812.

ChatSharp is still a young project. You should expect many things not to work, some features to be missing, and some things to change later on.

Here's an example of using this library:

var client = new IrcClient("irc.freenode.net", new IrcUser("ChatSharp", "ChatSharp"));
client.ConnectionComplete += (s, e) => client.Join("#botwar");
client.ChannelMessageRecieved += (s, e) =>
{
	var channel = client.Channels[e.PrivateMessage.Source];
	// Respond to a few commands
	if (e.PrivateMessage.Message == ".list")
		channel.SendMessage(string.Join(", ", channel.Users.Select(u => u.Nick)));
	else if (e.PrivateMessage.Message.StartsWith(".ban "))
	{
		if (!channel.Operators.Contains(client.User))
		{
			channel.SendMessage("I'm not an op here!");
			return;
		}
		var target = e.PrivateMessage.Message.Substring(5);
		client.WhoIs(target, whois => channel.Ban("*!*@" + whois.User.Hostname));
	}
};
client.Connect();

while (true) ; // Do nothing

To compile ChatSharp on Windows, add C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 to your PATH. Then, from the root of the ChatSharp repository, run this:

msbuild

On Linux and Mac, install Mono, then run this from the root of the CraftSharp repository:

xbuild

If you find a bug or wish to request a feature, create a GitHub issue. You may also create an issue to simply ask a question.

ChatSharp uses the permissive MIT license.

In a nutshell:

• You are not restricted on usage of ChatSharp; commercial, private, etc, all fine.
• The developers are not liable for what you do with it.
• ChatSharp is provided "as is" with no warranty.
