Since we have a good idea of what the application is, the next step is to develop the business objects or model layer of this application. Let's start out by defining a few classes that would contain the data to be used throughout the app. It is recommended, for the sake of organization, to add these to a Models folder in your project.

public class User
{
//NOTE: we will treat this as a unique name
public string Name { get; set; }

public class Conversation
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
}
public class Message
