  • C# Tutorial - Simple Threaded TCP Server
    03/18/2010 - 12:49

    There's nothing special required to know when you can send the client information. Simply surround the Send function with a try-catch. If Send throws an exception, that client has disconnected.

    As for "send it something", let's say we're building a chat client. You've got two clients connected to the server and they want to communicate with each other. One client sends a message to the server that needs to be relayed to another client. Somehow you've got to find the client to relay the message to. The message might contain a user ID, which you'd associate with each client using a dictionary - or something similar.

    I've never reused a TcpClient object. In the example code, the client only lives in the scope of its thread. There's no way for the server to find a client when it's needed. What I meant by "keep it around" was to put it in some sort of collection so the server can look up a client when it needs to send it something.

    When a connection is made, a socket will be formed between the server and the client. Each port can have several active sockets. The .NET framework and the OS maintain this information.

    I'd create an NSMutableArray to hold the UIAcceleration objects. Whenever it's read, simply call addObject on the array and supply the object.

    Sounds like it doesn't know what viewController is. Do you have it as a member on the class?

    @interface HelloWorldAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
        UIWindow *window;
     
      HelloWorldViewController *viewController;
     
    }

  • Notepad++ Subversion Plugin

    This plugin uses Tortoise commands that have been there for a very long time. I cannot say for sure if 1.4 is supported, but I don't know why it wouldn't be. It looks to me like whatever file you're attempting to commit is not actually within an SVN repository. If you attempt to use Tortoise directly to commit the file, do you receive the same error?
