TCP Asynchronous Client for C#.NET

TCP Asynchronous Client DLL for C#. Communicate with TCP Server in C# Applications. Simple and less resource usage model without multithreading or waitOne().

How To Use

Add the DLL to your project as a reference. Create a TCPAsyncClient Object and use the functions. Complete workable example is given in Sample Application

Constructors

• public AsynchronousClient(string _ip, int _port)

Functions Available

• void Connect() - Connect to the server
• bool Write(string _data) - Send data to server
• bool Write(byte[] _data) - Send data to server
• void Dispose() - Dispose socket/ connection
• void Disconnect() - Disconnect connection
• bool IsConnected() - Check is the socket connected

Callbacks

• Connection Status - OnConnectEventHandler -> void OnConnect(bool status)
• Recieve Data - DataReceivedEventHandler -> void OnRecieved(string data)

How To Use

Create Object

AsynchronousClient tcp = new AsynchronousClient(txtIpAddress.Text, int.Parse(txtPort.Text));
tcp.OnConnectEvent += new AsynchronousClient.OnConnectEventHandler(OnConnect);
tcp.OnDataRecievedEvent += new AsynchronousClient.DataReceivedEventHandler(OnRecieved);
tcp.Connect();

Setup Connection Status Callback Function

private void OnConnect(bool status)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Connection Status : " + status.ToString());
}

Setup Data Recieved Callback Function

private void OnRecieved(string data)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Recieved Data : " + data);
}

Write to TCP

private void WriteData(string data)
{
    try
      {
          if (tcp.Write(data))
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Write OK");
          }
          else
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Write Failed");
          }
      }catch(Exception ex)
      {
          // Catch errors in Sending Data
          Console.WriteLine("Error : " + ex.ToString());
      }
}

Create TCP Server for Testing

You can use Hercules Setup Utility to create TCP server in Local Machine with few clicks. Here is an example.
