I have been working (along with my sister and cousin) on an XMPP based IM client. This is fully implemented in DotNet. The current version (1.0.1) can connect to Google Talk. The project is hosted here. 

You can get the latest code from the following SVN url:
http://chatapp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Here are some screen shots of the application.

And the Chat Window

The 'About Box' describes the different components that we are using.

 I would appreciate your valuable comments - please post them here.

Microsoft announced the availability of SilverLight 1.1.

You can get started by visiting here.

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plugin for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports JavaScript, .NET, and other languages.

This is really interesting. A 4 MB download that contains a Cross-Platform CLR and which supports a good subset of the BCL - including support for .Net 3.5 stuff like LINQ.
