Hello everybody,

I would to find out how to establish connection between two applications through Skype. Currently, I'm using VS2005 C# and Skype4Com wrapper for my program. I have a few questions which i have in mind after reading the documentations for Skype4com.

1) What functions do i use to connect the applications? is it ConnectApplicationUser(string AppName, String Username, bool waitconnected) function?

2) If it's a yes to the above question, what do i fill in for AppName? Is my current program name? or another program name? What's the username i supposed to fill in?

3) If no, What other functions should i use?

Thank you very much in advance!

That or for example:
Skype.Application[AppName].Connect(RemoteParty, False);
(from Delphi example at https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Skype4COM/...A2AStreams_pas)


> what do i fill in for AppName? Is my current program name? or another program name?

It doesnt matter, it is an arbitrary string that identifies an application (application object in Skype public API).

Your program can connect and use several different application objects for example, should you need it for something.

> What's the username i supposed to fill in?

Skypename of the remote party of the app2app connection.

> 3) If no, What other functions should i use?

Dont think we have any C# app2app examples up on dvzone but besides the one I linked above, there is also a Delphi example for using datagrams.
