Non-NWNX Development Question

[Baaleos]

Hi guys,
I've just finished a 5 day training course on vs2008 and vs2010 (c#)

I found it quite informative, but found that I am bit stumped on how to feed data into a List<TcpClient> constructor.

What syntax are you trying to use to set the value of the property? Something like:

[Gryphyn]

your constructor has the same name (exactly) as your class.

[Gryphyn]

your first example has clientlist as a 'property' (not a constructor)

private <type> value;
public <type> MyProperty
{ get { return this.value; } }
{ set { this.value = value; } }

so if <type> is a List 'value' within the 'set' has to be a Llist type (not an element of the List)

Well, im not sure if im doing it right, which is why im asking for advice.


Basically, when a client joins the server, I need them to be added to a list of connected clients.

Then, when a message is received by the server, it will do a

foreach () loop, to ensure that the received message is returned to all clients in the list.

I thought I could do this via making a class called ClientList
and making a list property within it.


Eg - on server start - creates a new ClientList();

then in the onClient enter thread, it adds the client or streamwriter class relating to that client, to the list.

Im having some other problems too, relating to static voids etc, but im working through them slowly.

Can someone suggest the correct method of storing a list of clients?

for a Plugin?

Have a look at my SQLServer plugin. (NWNX2 & X4 both have it)

It's got a class that I use to store a list of parameters.
It gets created when the plugin loads, then when each parameter is added, a new entry is added. When the SQLCommand is finally executed, the list contains the value for each of the required parameters. The list is then emptied, for the next query.

I'd imagine you'd want something similar.
CREATE on plugin load,
ADD on client enter
REMOVE on client exit
FOREACH on heartbeat (or interval)
DELETE on plugin unload

[Ed.] The bits to look for

//Needed for Binding Storage.
#include "SQLBinding.h"
#include "wx/dynarray.h"
WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY(SQLBinding, wxArrayBinding);

SQLBinding is a class which is an element of the list (wxArrayBinding)
your TcpClient

class CNWNXSQLServer : public CNWNXBase
{
public:
CNWNXSQLServer();
virtual ~CNWNXSQLServer();
protected:
wxArrayBinding Binding;
...
}

The rest you can follow in-code.

Cheers

Sorry, its not for a nwnx plugin. hehe

Im just learning c# and vs2010 - making a chat client/server program.


I've moved on from the client list problem, (still need a solution) now working on the problem of getting chat text to appear in the chatwindow, when being sent from a different thread.

Think i need to use a dispatcher.
