NETSOCKET TCP CLIENT-SERVER SOCKET LIB

Library builds to NetSocket.dll
Works in .Net 2.0+ and mono 2.6+

Allows binary messages to be sent from client to server and vice-versa. Messages are prefixed with a simple header to track messages boundaries and keep everything synchronized. Messages are sent asynchronously in the order they are queued. The library automatically handles errors and disconnection as well as other erratum associated with the built-in Socket class.


Includes demo applications TestNetClient and TestNetServer

The TestNetServer application simply listens for connections on port 3333 and automatically accepts the first clients that connect. Valid messages are logged and echoed back to the client.

The TestNetClient application can connect to the server and send text messages or files.
