What do you think on how it should be done? Tried anything?

It's a different kind of chat on web you are talking of... actually, half of what actual chat is.

Assumptions:
1) User 1 and user 2 are using an ASP.NET web application connected to an SQL Server database.

Steps:
1) Create a table in the database where sent messages are stored. The table should include a recieved bit field with a 0 default.

2) The application has a form used to send messages to the database for the intended user.

2) Using ajax, the application can use a stored procedure to check the database at intervals of your choosing (every 30 seconds or what ever you want) for messages sent by the other user that have not been recieved (still 0).

3) The stored procedure will set the received bit to 1 and return the messages to the application.

4) If messages are returned, the ajax will generate a popup to display them.

Good luck!
