So I am able to type message and sent in public window its working fine for public view but when I click on the online users and type message to sent him I get an error "NullReferenceException was unhandled" Object reference not set to an instance of an object in this form named as
This form is responsible for private chat with online users. How to make a user sent message to online users as soon as he logs in successfully. privatechat.vb
