Animated Emotions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello.

How to send animated emotions?

I do EmoticonType.AnimEmotion and Imageformat.Gif, but the user only 
receives the text of shortcut, but not the emoticons itself.

Thanks.

make sure you are using MSNP15, not MSNP18

Yes, I use MSNP15 and provisioned account:

I use the following code:

  MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();

Bitmap.FromFile(getrandomfile2("test.gif")).Save(mem, ImageFormat.Gif);
Emoticon emotest = new Emoticon("bot@gwaam.com",mem , "0", "test");
MSNObjectCatalog.GetInstance().Add(emotest);
List<Emoticon> emolist = new List<Emoticon>();
emolist.Add(emotest);
_conversation.Switchboard.SendEmoticonDefinitions(emolist, 
EmoticonType.AnimEmoticon);
 _conversation.Switchboard.SendTextMessage(new TextMessage(emotest.Shortcut));

The recipient on Windows Live Messenger 2009 can't see any animated emotion, 
but he 
can see my static emotions.

After my research, this is not our bug. Microsoft disabled this feature.

Hi,
Do not use EmoticonType.AnimEmotion, just use StaticEmotion and it will be 
display 
correctly, now msn don't allow to send custom emotion without a partnerid
