I don't need much, just the ability to send a one line msg on an event.

The applet buys/sells stocks or options and that part works fine. Now I would like the applet to report the action to an IRC channel. The applet probably doesn't even need to have the connection persist because the computer is already connected to the IRC server and channel through mIRC.

I can't even find any coding samples for this, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    For starters the IRC network is hard coded to the wrong net, and it doesn't auto-connect to a channel, which would be nice in this case. A simple connect, join channel, fire of one statement and disconnect is the desired effect.

    There is some good sample to code to work with there. If know of anything else

    It would appear that the best method to achieve this is the DDE functionality of both VB2005express and mIRC.

    and

    I hope that helps someone in the future.

    This is basically what I'm looking for. But we're not working in C-sharp.

    Rather than having your app attach to mIRC you'd probably be better off taking an IRC client like this one and using it to send your message.
