Hi, I''m in the process of creating a new networking API, and I''d appreciate it a lot if any of the gurus here would like to take a look at the first Beta version of it. If anyone would like to test it out, it comes with accompanying documentation, and some simple examples. The page for download and a list of features is here. If there''s a problem with the link copy/paste http://www.clearchaos.com/netlib.php I''m looking to improve performance, fix any bugs that exist, and add features, so if you have any comments/suggestions, please either post them here, or mail them to the email address in the documentation. I''m currently hosting my website on my home connection, so apologies for any slowness/downtime. Thanks

I just had a quick look at the interface, but the design seemed solid enough and it did support just about everything i''d need.
Splitting the source into a few more modules and adding a comment or two wouldn''t hurt though..
Consider writing a generic messaging system and perhaps do packet coalesing at that level, then just flush the buffers periodically.
And add a packet priority scheme that automatically drops insignificant messages if the networking quoata has been reached.
Overall, nice work!

If you would be willing to create a COM or preferably Managed wrapper for your lib I would seriously consider using it. So what say you?

Do you have AIM? or MSN? maybe we could discuss this further.

COM???
eww...

comes mostly from my prior (very short) directx experience

I''m not entirely sure what you mean by a managed wrapper, or what functionality this would mean providing. Chances are I won''t have time to do anything complex with the code for quite a while, since I''m building a (simple) MMOG for a project, and I need to get work done on some of the other systems involved to meet deadlines. You can reach me by MSN, my account is rw125@york.ac.uk

I''m not on it especially often though, since I''m pretty busy.

For the client not the server. I would like to program my client in C#.
