New Post: Communication between 1:n clients

From: yallie

Hi Jens,

I put the server part in the console application and connected with 2
client against the server. This worked. But after about 2-5 minutes the
connection in the server part was broken.

I don't see any problems with your setup.

Our own Zyan-based application server works just as you described:
a console server (or a service) with lots of connected clients.
When the server goes offline or restarts, clients silently reconnect and
continue they work as if nothing happened. It works out of the box.

I want the server only respond to the requesting client.
...
It is possible to act the server like a web-server and the clients
place the request 1:1???

If all you need is a request-reply pattern, then just stick to simple RPC:
use server methods returning values. No events, no delegates, only functions.

Your shared interfaces project will end up with something like this:

public interface IMyServer
{
   MyResult GetMyResult(int parameter1, string parameter2);
}

[Serializable]
public class MyResult
{
   public string Payload { get; set; }
}

To add asynchrony, I recommend using .NET 4.5 Tasks, i.e.:
var myResult = await Task.Run(() => proxy.GetMyResult(1, ""));

Are you looking to put the zyan framework to Windows10IoT. I'm devoping a
network scanning solution, independent working with zyan and want to
communicate with other processes to get a request and put the result.

It's quite a possible area of research for Zyan. But I have to say that I don't
have resources to spent on things I'm not going to use myself. If you're brave
enough to investigate it yourself — you're welcome to fork the project and try
it on your own. Of course, I'll help you with any guidance you need.

little Raspberry with Windows 10

Take in mind that a Raspberry with Linux+Mono onboard might probably work
right out of the box with no modifications in Zyan library. Of course,
I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but I think that Mono framework has
better chances to include all features needed for Zyan to work.

Microsoft has a bad habit of stripping off useful features (i.e. transparent
proxies, Remoting stack, etc.) from .NET framework when porting it to
mobile platforms. So I don't think that Windows 10 will be easy to support
anywhere except on desktop.
