NetworkLibrary

Network library is a simple C# Network Library that takes the complication of managing a TCP/IP connections and includes many handy features.

Features

Network comes with the follow features:

• Simple and easy to use.
• Events.
• Native serializing support.
• Object registration.
• Support bind-able objects.
• And lots more...

Quick Start

When using Network Library, both the client and server share the same interface INetwork. As such, you can keep the core code almost the same, whether you're dealing with the server or the client.

Creating a server is very simple. Create an instance of ConnectionHost and run StartBroadcasting:

usingSystem;usingNetworkLibrary.Core;publicclassMainProgram{staticINetworktheConnection;publicstaticvoidMain(paramsstring[]args){//Create an instance of our host.theConnection=newConnectionHost(33050);//Run the listener.(theConnectionasConnectionHost).StartBroadcasting();Console.WriteLine("\nHost up and running. Press any key to quit.");//Prevent the program from closingConsole.ReadKey();}}

Creating a client is also simple:

usingSystem;usingNetworkLibrary.Core;publicclassMainProgram{staticINetworktheConnection;publicstaticvoidMain(paramsstring[]args){//Create an instance of our host.theConnection=newConnectionClient();//Connect to server.(theConnectionasConnectionClient).Connect("127.0.0.1",33050);Console.WriteLine("\nSucessfully connected. Press any key to quit.");//Prevent the program from closingConsole.ReadKey();}}

Sending events is also very easy. Just register a function with specific integer code:

intcode=0;//Code for this eventourNetworkConnection.RegisterEvent(code,eventThatShouldBeRun);/* ... */privatevoideventThatShouldBeRun(objectsource,NetworkEventArgsargs){Console.WriteLine(sourceasstring);}

After that, you can easily send this type of message by simply doing:

intcode=0;//Code for this eventconnection.SendEvent(code,"Hello World");
