Features in a nutshell

• TCP communication
• UDP communication
• Factories to ensure the most easy setup
• Server and Client Wrappers (Auto-Reconnect, Auto-Join)
• Object oriented. Don't worry about bits and bytes. Send and receive objects
• Optional RSA encryption for TCP and UDP
• Use lambdas, delegates or even async operations to send and receive objects
• Useful helpers to quickly send small information, without creating an object
• Logging for debugging or traffic inspection
• No magic numbers, identifiers or configurations required
• Very fast and relieable (6-10ms RTT)
• Highly customizable
• OpenSource and Free to use

Example Client

        public void Demo()
        {
            ConnectionResult connectionResult = ConnectionResult.TCPConnectionNotAlive;
            //1. Establish a connection to the server.
            TcpConnection tcpConnection = ConnectionFactory.CreateTcpConnection("127.0.0.1", 1234, out connectionResult);
            //2. Register what happens if we get a connection
            if(connectionResult == ConnectionResult.Connected)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{tcpConnection.ToString()} Connection established");
                //3. Send a raw data packet request.
                tcpConnection.SendRawData(RawDataConverter.FromUTF8String("HelloWorld", "Hello, this is the RawDataExample!"));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData(RawDataConverter.FromBoolean("BoolValue", true));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData(RawDataConverter.FromBoolean("BoolValue", false));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData(RawDataConverter.FromDouble("DoubleValue", 32.99311325d));
                //4. Send a raw data packet request without any helper class
                tcpConnection.SendRawData("HelloWorld", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello, this is the RawDataExample!"));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData("BoolValue", BitConverter.GetBytes(true));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData("BoolValue", BitConverter.GetBytes(false));
                tcpConnection.SendRawData("DoubleValue", BitConverter.GetBytes(32.99311325d));
            }
        }

Example Server

        public void Demo()
        {
            //1. Start listen on a port
            serverConnectionContainer = ConnectionFactory.CreateServerConnectionContainer(1234, false);

            //2. Apply optional settings.
            #region Optional settings
            serverConnectionContainer.ConnectionLost += (a, b, c) => Console.WriteLine($"{serverConnectionContainer.Count} {b.ToString()} Connection lost {a.IPRemoteEndPoint.Port}. Reason {c.ToString()}");
            serverConnectionContainer.ConnectionEstablished += connectionEstablished;
            serverConnectionContainer.AllowUDPConnections = true;
            serverConnectionContainer.UDPConnectionLimit = 2;
            #endregion Optional settings

            //Call start here, because we had to enable the bluetooth property at first.
            serverConnectionContainer.Start();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// We got a connection.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="connection">The connection we got. (TCP or UDP)</param>
        private void connectionEstablished(Connection connection, ConnectionType type)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{serverConnectionContainer.Count} {connection.GetType()} connected on port {connection.IPRemoteEndPoint.Port}");

            //3. Register packet listeners.
            connection.RegisterRawDataHandler("HelloWorld", (rawData, con) => Console.WriteLine($"RawDataPacket received. Data: {rawData.ToUTF8String()}"));
            connection.RegisterRawDataHandler("BoolValue", (rawData, con) => Console.WriteLine($"RawDataPacket received. Data: {rawData.ToBoolean()}"));
            connection.RegisterRawDataHandler("DoubleValue", (rawData, con) => Console.WriteLine($"RawDataPacket received. Data: {rawData.ToDouble()}"));
        }

Async Example

        public async void Demo()
        {
            //1. Establish a connection to the server.
            ClientConnectionContainer container = ConnectionFactory.CreateClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);
            //2. Register what happens if we get a connection
            container.ConnectionEstablished += async (connection, type) =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{type.ToString()} Connection established");
                //3. Send a request packet async and directly receive an answer.
                CalculationResponse response = await connection.SendAsync<CalculationResponse>(new CalculationRequest(10, 10));
                Console.WriteLine($"Answer received {response.Result}");
            };
        }

Delegate Example

        private ClientConnectionContainer container;

        public void Demo()
        {
            //1. Establish a connection to the server.
            container = ConnectionFactory.CreateClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);
            //2. Register what happens if we get a connection
            container.ConnectionEstablished += connectionEstablished;
        }

        private void connectionEstablished(Connection connection, ConnectionType type)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{type.ToString()} Connection established");
            //3. Register what happens if we receive a packet of type "CalculationResponse"
            container.RegisterPacketHandler<CalculationResponse>(calculationResponseReceived, this);
            //4. Send a calculation request.
            connection.Send(new CalculationRequest(10, 10), this);
        }

        private void calculationResponseReceived(CalculationResponse response, Connection connection)
        {
            //5. CalculationResponse received.
            Console.WriteLine($"Answer received {response.Result}");
        }

Lambda Example

        public void Demo()
       {
           //1. Establish a connection to the server.
           ClientConnectionContainer container = ConnectionFactory.CreateClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);
           //2. Register what happens if we get a connection
           container.ConnectionEstablished += (connection, type) =>
           {
               Console.WriteLine($"{type.ToString()} Connection established");
               //3. Register what happens if we receive a packet of type "CalculationResponse"
               connection.RegisterPacketHandler<CalculationResponse>((response, con) => Console.WriteLine($"Answer received {response.Result}"), this);
               //4. Send a calculation request.
               connection.Send(new CalculationRequest(10, 10), this);
           };
       }

RSA Example

     public async void Demo()
     {
         //1. Establish a connection.
         ClientConnectionContainer container = ConnectionFactory.CreateSecureClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);
         //2. Register what happens if we get a connection
         container.ConnectionEstablished += (connection, type) =>
         {
             Console.WriteLine($"{type.ToString()} Connection established");
             //3. Register what happens if we receive a packet of type "CalculationResponse"
             connection.RegisterPacketHandler<CalculationResponse>((response, con) => Console.WriteLine($"Answer received {response.Result}"), this);
             //4. Send a calculation request.
             connection.Send(new CalculationRequest(10, 10), this);
         };
