SimpleTCPPlus

Straightforward and incredibly useful .NET library to handle the repetitive tasks of spinning up and working with TCP sockets (client and server) + packets.

Want a TCP server that listens on port 8910 on all the IP addresses on the machine?

var server = new SimpleTcpServer(Assembly.LoadFrom("PATH TO ASSEMBLY WITH PACKETS")).Start(8910);
//or
var server = new SimpleTcpServer(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()).Start(8910);

Want a TCP client that connects to 127.0.0.1 on port 8910?

var client = new SimpleTcpClient(Assembly.LoadFrom("PATH TO ASSEMBLY WITH PACKETS")).Connect("127.0.0.1", 8910);

Server

server.DataReceived += (s, packet) => 
{
      Console.WriteLine($"PACKET:\n{packet.Packet.PacketType}");
      server.PacketHandler(packet); //To work with custom packages that you add.
};
server.ClientConnected += (x, w) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Client connected [{w.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()}]");
};

Client

client.DataReceived += (s, packet) => 
{
      Console.WriteLine($"PACKET:\n{packet.Packet.PacketType}");
      client.PacketHandler(packet); //To work with custom packages that you add.
};

client.ConnectedToServer += (x, clientx) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("Connected to the server!");
};

Want to know how many clients are connected to the server?

int clientsConnected = server.ConnectedClientsCount;

Want to get the IP addresses that the server is listening on?

var listeningIps = server.GetListeningIPs();

Want to get only the IPv4 addresses the server is listening on?

var listeningV4Ips = server.GetListeningIPs().Where(ip => ip.AddressFamily == System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork);

Packets

An example of working with packages is in the directories ReallyServer/ReallyClient

Working with JSON

Deserialize

TYPE type = JsonUtils.DeserializeIt<TYPE>(pack.Packet.RawData);

Serialize

JsonUtils.SerializeIt(new TYPE(...));
