I know of no existing YMSG protocol implementation in C#. If you're determined for your application to be in C# your best bet is to pick one of the java implementations and try to port it. One other option is http://ycoderscookbook.com/. The site has a number of sample programs which may point you in the right direction. The YCC Trainer is in VB.NET but could be easily converted to C# using .NET Reflector.

Your description sounds eerily like a spam bot. If this is your intention keep in mind that:

  • Yahoo's Terms of Service prohibit this*
  • IM spamming is easily blocked by using a whitelist/blacklist

*Then again they also prohibit reverse engineering of their protocol and unauthorized use by thirdparty programs... considering the number of Y-Messenger clients out there they don't enforce this very well.
