My problem is to select list of login users of particular channel
Plz provide me valuable suggestions with some code hint what should i do.. here is some code of getting chatengine class.

Your whole design is rubbish. But, doing a chat in ASP.NET is a dumb idea to start with. However, your rooms should each have a list of people signed in to them.

How different is this question from your last one?
http://www.codeproject.com/answers/69092/How-can-I-add-chat-rooms-channels-to-the-demo-app-.aspx[^]

Here you have just copied the codebase of the article[^]that you mentioned last time. I still don't see that you have tried anything. Have you?

Where is the code to handle different channel? This is something only left/new to the article that you are referring to. If it's your project, atleast try.. you already are re-using almost the full code.
