BlogWe are very happy to announce the next release of our network library, version 2.3.0. Our focus for this release was to ensure that NetworkComms.Net was fully supported on a wider range of mobile platforms, e.g. iOS and Android. A full list of changes is as follows: – Extended mobile platform support to include Xamarion.iOS […]
Continue Reading »One of the great features of this network library is the ability to send custom objects and at the same time easily incorporate compression, encryption etc. This is in part due to the features made available from serialisation libraries such as protobuf-net. Demonstrating this functionality is the primary goal of the AdvancedSend example included in the […]
Continue Reading »At its core networking is asynchronous and that behavior is, to an extent, reflected in the implementation of NetworkComms.Net. In our continuing endeavour to provide the most flexible .net network library on the planet we have also provided features which make the synchronous request for data and the corresponding response really straight forward. In the […]

Note: This example is also included in the example bundle when you download NetworkComms.Net. You are welcome to open that example and simply follow this tutorial to see how it was put […]
Continue Reading »One of the great strengths of UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is broadcasting. This feature allows a single sent packet (datagram) to be to received by multiple peers on the same network. The alternative would be an independent send for each desired destination. The following scenarios are several examples when you might consider using UDP broadcasts: […]
Continue Reading »NetworkComms.Net makes it really easy to add pre-shared key (PSK) encryption to secure your data transmissions. In this tutorial we will demonstrate how just 4 extra lines of code are required to enable PSK encryption on a connection. Some considerations that you should also take when using PSK encryption will also be discussed. Server Side If you […]
Continue Reading »Networking by its very nature is asynchronous, i.e. almost anything can happen in any order at any time. This was one of the primary difficulties we have attempted to simplify when writing our network library. We have attempted to keep our network library as transparent as possible when it comes to errors and the aim […]
Continue Reading »The motivation behind NetworkComms.Net was to create a fully featured C# network library with which network functionality could be easily added to any application, from .net 2 up to .net 4.5 (Mono, Unity3d, iOS, Android, WinRT/Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 also supported). We also wanted to require little to no knowledge of networking to make things […]
Continue Reading »We are very happy to announce the next release of our C# network library, version 2.2.0. The big push as part of this release was to support all .net platforms including windows phone 8. The summary of changes are as follows: Extended platform support, .Net 2, .Net 3.5, .Net 4, .Net 4.5, Windows Phone 8 […]
Continue Reading »In code … It’s really easy to add logging to any application that uses our .net network library. Under the hood we are using NLog and it can be enabled as follows: If you just want to log to a console window add this C# code snippet wherever you are also enabling the library: LoggingConfiguration […]
