v1.0: Initial version

Installation

Simply add ServerFramework.NET.dll as a reference in your .NET project and add the following line of code to the beginning of your source file.

using ServerFramework.NET;

Usage

Instantiate the Server with one of the four constructors:

var server = new Server(int port, int dataSize)

var server = new Server(int port, int dataSize, int maxNumOfClients)

var server = new Server(int port, List<char> messageDelimiters)

var server = new Server(int port, List<char> messageDelimiters, int maxNumOfClients)

Add event handlers:

server.OnMessageReceived += server_OnMessageReceived; 
server.OnServerStop += (o, i) => 
  {
      Console.WriteLine("Server stopped");
      Application.Exit();
  };

static void server_OnMessageReceived(object sender, ClientEventArgs e)
{
  var client = e.Client;
  string msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(client.Message);
  Console.WriteLine(msg);
  client.SendData("I heard you! " + msg + "\n");
}

And start the server!

server.StartAsync();
