C# And .dll’s

I’ve been working on Fizzure A LOT recently. I made a FizzSrvLight that is not a distributed system like the regular one, which therefore allowed me to write one effectively in about 3 hours. On the way I decided to make a few of my own methods and then realized, hey these can be used in other projects too!

So I made a class library (.dll – Dynamically Linked Library ) with a few methods that have to do with TCP Data transmition. The most important of which is the Send method that I made. Now this is really only useful for the client. Anyway, heres the snippet:


public static void Send(TcpClient Client, String Command)
{
Console.WriteLine("Opening Server Stream");
NetworkStream n = Client.GetStream();
String send = Command;
String receive = null;
byte[] msg = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(send);
n.Write(msg, 0, msg.Length);
Console.WriteLine("SENT: {0}", send);
}

this method is meant for console programs, but if you are using a GUI all you really need to do is delete the Console.WriteLines()’s in there and replace it with wherever you want the output.

Hope this is helpful to everyone!
