Client Setup

[TCP/UDP] ClientConnectionContainer

The ClientConnectionContainer contains a TCP and a UDP connection by default. In addition the ClientConnectionContainer supports:

Reconnecting if the TCP and/or the UDP connection has been lost
Offering various methods to send data (async, fast, slow)
Buffering packets if there is no available connection
Remember your settings and packet-configurations after a reconnect

        public async void Demo()
        {
            //1. Create a new client connection container.
            ClientConnectionContainer clientConnectionContainer = ConnectionFactory.CreateClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);
            //2. Setup events which will be fired if we receive a connection
            clientConnectionContainer.ConnectionEstablished += ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionEstablished;
            clientConnectionContainer.ConnectionLost += ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionLost;
        }

        private void ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionLost(Connection connection, Network.Enums.ConnectionType connectionType, Network.Enums.CloseReason closeReason)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Connection {connection.IPRemoteEndPoint} {connectionType} lost. {closeReason}");
        }

        private void ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionEstablished(Connection connection, Network.Enums.ConnectionType connectionType)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{connectionType} Connection received {connection.IPRemoteEndPoint}.");
        }

public async void Demo()

{

//1. Create a new client connection container.

ClientConnectionContainer clientConnectionContainer = ConnectionFactory.CreateClientConnectionContainer("127.0.0.1", 1234);

//2. Setup events which will be fired if we receive a connection

clientConnectionContainer.ConnectionEstablished += ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionEstablished;

clientConnectionContainer.ConnectionLost += ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionLost;

}

private void ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionLost(Connection connection, Network.Enums.ConnectionType connectionType, Network.Enums.CloseReason closeReason)

{

Console.WriteLine($"Connection {connection.IPRemoteEndPoint} {connectionType} lost. {closeReason}");

}

private void ClientConnectionContainer_ConnectionEstablished(Connection connection, Network.Enums.ConnectionType connectionType)

{

Console.WriteLine($"{connectionType} Connection received {connection.IPRemoteEndPoint}.");

}

Is the ClientConnectionContainer too heavy? Or don’t you need a UDPConnection? Check out the following methods to establish TCP/UDP connections without the container.

[TCP] Method 1

            ConnectionResult connectionResult = ConnectionResult.Timeout;

            //1. Create a TcpConnection
            TcpConnection tcpConnection = ConnectionFactory.CreateTcpConnection("127.0.0.1", 1234, out connectionResult);
            if (connectionResult != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

ConnectionResult connectionResult = ConnectionResult.Timeout;

//1. Create a TcpConnection

TcpConnection tcpConnection = ConnectionFactory.CreateTcpConnection("127.0.0.1", 1234, out connectionResult);

if (connectionResult != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

connectionResult contains the information about the current connection state.

[TCP] Method 2 (async)

            //1. Create a TcpConnection
            var connectionWithResult = await ConnectionFactory.CreateTcpConnectionAsync("127.0.0.1", 1234);
            if (connectionWithResult.Item2 != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;
            //2. The TCP connection is in the first item of the tuple.
            TcpConnection tcpConnection = connectionWithResult.Item1;

//1. Create a TcpConnection

var connectionWithResult = await ConnectionFactory.CreateTcpConnectionAsync("127.0.0.1", 1234);

if (connectionWithResult.Item2 != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

//2. The TCP connection is in the first item of the tuple.

TcpConnection tcpConnection = connectionWithResult.Item1;

[UDP] Method 1

            ConnectionResult connectionResult = ConnectionResult.Timeout;

            //1. Create a UDP connection. A UDP connection requires an alive TCP connection.
            UdpConnection udpConnection = ConnectionFactory.CreateUdpConnection(tcpConnection, out connectionResult);
            if (connectionResult != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

ConnectionResult connectionResult = ConnectionResult.Timeout;

//1. Create a UDP connection. A UDP connection requires an alive TCP connection.

UdpConnection udpConnection = ConnectionFactory.CreateUdpConnection(tcpConnection, out connectionResult);

if (connectionResult != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

[UDP] Method 2 (async)

            //1. Create a UDP connection. A UDP connection requires an alive TCP connection.
            var connectionWithResult = await ConnectionFactory.CreateUdpConnectionAsync(tcpConnection);
            if (connectionWithResult.Item2 != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;
            //2. The UDP connection is in the first item of the tuple.
            UdpConnection udpConnection = connectionWithResult.Item1;

//1. Create a UDP connection. A UDP connection requires an alive TCP connection.

var connectionWithResult = await ConnectionFactory.CreateUdpConnectionAsync(tcpConnection);

if (connectionWithResult.Item2 != ConnectionResult.Connected) return;

//2. The UDP connection is in the first item of the tuple.

UdpConnection udpConnection = connectionWithResult.Item1;
