Copying and Pasting cs Code

In cs, like in almost any computer programming language, reading data from a file can be tricky. You add extra lines of code to tell the computer what to do. Sometimes you can copy and paste these lines from other peoples’ code.

For example, you can follow the pattern in this listing:

     public void OnPrivateMessage(string sender, object message, string channelName)
     {
         // as the ChatClient is buffering the messages for you, this GUI doesn't need to do anything here
         // you also get messages that you sent yourself. in that case, the channelName is determinded by the target of your msg
     }
