To implement a custom CuteChat Provider, you will need to provide a concrete implementation of the CuteSoft.Chat.DataProvider class, CuteSoft.Chat.UserAdapter class and CuteSoft.Chat.ConnectionStringProvider class (optional) , and plug it into the system.

Derive a class from the CuteSoft.Chat.DataProvider abstract base class and name it MyDataProvider.

public class MyDataProvider : CuteSoft.Chat.DataProvider { }

Can you elaborate this step a bit more for a novice .net user please. Coz so far I cannot figure out how to perform this step.

 

Thank you,

I got the following errors

So please suggest

Then I moved one step ahead and provided the refrence to cutesoft.chat.dll

 

the code looked like this:

Can you please provide some elaborated details here as you have provided in your examples or tell me which specific example should I follow as I am trying to integrate it into my existing system?
