Cant send messages if receiver leaves convo open too long after inactivity.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I am making a bot to send messages to myself (alerts) for when certain
things happen online .. so I get notifications right away.

Once the bot starts, it creates a conversation and invites me... after that
it never closes it unless IsSessionEstablished is false... then it closes
and restarts the convo.

Whats happening is.. if I leave the convo open too long after no messages
for along time.. then when the bot tries to message me.. I dont get the
messages.  The bot receives no errors and IsSessionEstablished is true...
as far as the bot knows the message was sent.

If I close the window.. then the bot can message me again.

I am using MSNPSharp 2.5.8.1372.. MSNP15

Here is the code I use.. very basic.. I am probably stupid and missing
something tho lol

 public void sendMsg(string msg)
        {

                Contact selectedContact =
messenger.ContactList.GetContact("myemail");

                if (selectedContact.Online == true)
                {

                        if (!convos.Switchboard.IsSessionEstablished)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("RESTARTING CONVO");
                            convos.Switchboard.Close(); 
                            convos = messenger.CreateConversation();
                            convos.Invite(selectedContact);
                            addresses = toAddress;

                        }

                    if (convos.SwitchboardProcessor.Connected == false)
                    {

convos.Messenger.Nameserver.RequestSwitchboard(Conversation.Switchboard, this);
                    }

                    convos.Switchboard.SendTextMessage(message);

                }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Id like to add.. that the reason I leave the convo switchboard open all the 
time ..
instead of closing it.. is because sometimes the bot needs to send me a bunch of
messages at once.. and if it closes then opens it repeatedly it gets 
disconnected
from the MSN servers.

Also, its possible that I am mistaken about it not working because i leave the 
window
open too long.. it could be something else.. it just seemed like it was that.

I think maybe I am trying to send the meessages too fast after the convo is 
created?

How long should I wait?  in the example it doesnt seem to wait.. but I could be
mistaken..

also how long does it take until the session is closed by itself?

Hmm... I get this too, when I leave one conversation quite inactive for quite 
some time 
(let's say 20 minutes at least), I cannot respond further than that, either I 
can't 
send messages which don't get to the other user, and that I can't see what the 
other 
contact is sending (messages).

I'll see about it soon enough if I get time. That's a good report you have 
there too.

Hi,
This is not a bug, the session will be closed after a period of time if you do 
not 
send anything. If you want to keep the session alive, you need to set the 
AutoKeepAlive property to true for each conversation instance.
