LibLSL

Modern C# wrapper for the LabStreamingLayer (LSL): https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer/. There exist at least two previous C# wrappers, liblsl-Csharp and LSL4Unity. This wrapper attempts to improve on those with the following features:

• Modern C# 10/.NET 5.0 code style adhering to [Microsoft Coding Conventions] (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions)
• Better use of language features such as properties, generics, and overloads
• Use of List<T> and List<List<T>> containers for receiving data and timestamps
• Improved namespaces (no more LSL.LSL.method)
• Improved data receiver examples showing using threads and delegates
• Growing list of utility programs (see TODO list) for testing and network diagnostics

TODO:

• In code comments on all methods and classes
• NuGet packaging
• Further utility programs:
  • Stream Diagnostic
  • ???
• Async patterns for pull and resolve functions (Note: at the moment this can be 'faked' with Task.Delay() but future plans for improving LSL include implementing callback functions which will allow truly asynchronous---not just parallel---programming patterns
• Explanation in this README for how to include LibLSL.dll and lsl.dll in a C# project.

Acknowledgements:

• The whole LSL development community esp. tstenner, cboulay, and chkothe
• Big ups to markheath whose approach to type punning arrays of different types I completely stole for GenericSampleBuffer

Using

In order to use LibLSL in your C# project, you must include a reference to the wrapper (LibLSL.dll/dylib/so) and lsl itself (lsl.dll/dylib/so).
