Windows live messenger display picture?

Programmatically set Windows Live Messenger Display Picture

• How can I programmatically set Windows Live Messenger (currently using 8.5.1302.1018) display picture. Possible solutions can be in C++, .NET or VB. Even just a hint could be useful.

• Answer:

  There is an open source project called http://code.google.com/p/msnp-sharp/ that you should look at. You can use this to connect to MSN and set your profile picture. Here's an example of setting the image: try { Image fileImage = Image.FromFile(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ImageFileName"]); DisplayImage displayImage = new DisplayImage(); displayImage.Image = fileImage; m_Messenger.Owner.DisplayImage = displayImage; m_Messenger.Nameserver.StorageService.UpdateProfile(fileImage, "MyPhoto"); } catch { LogError(new StackTrace(true), "Error adding avatar image."); }
