ServerChannel

Overview

This is the abstract base class for all Server Channel implementations. You will descend from this class when implementing a custom server channel, or use one of the existing descendants.

Location


 

constructor  protected

Creates a new instance of the ServerChannel class.

This constructor cannot be called directly.

ServerChannel()

 

Sub New()

Active

Toggles whether the server component is active or not. Set it to true (either from code or in the Property Pane) to have your server active and listening for requests from clients or set it to false to prevent new requests from being accepted.

AfterReceiveStream    (declared in Channel)

This event is triggered by client and server channels directly after a request or response stream has been received and before the stream gets parsed into a message. User code can assign handlers to this event to process, inspect or modify incoming messages, before they get handled by the Remoting SDK framework. The passed Stream is a MemoryStream and may be modified.

If no handlers are assigned to the AfterReceiveStream event, the message will load the data directly from the incoming medium (usually the network stream); assigning event handlers to AfterReceiveStream will induce a slight overhead as the data will first be copied into a local memory buffer for the event handler. This should not have any noticeably effect except for very large messages or on resource-limited systems such as Compact Framework Clients, but if utmost performance is important, take this note into consideration.

BeforeSendStream    (declared in Channel)

The passed Stream is a MemoryStream and may be modified.

Dispatchers

Organizes the different Dispatchers configured for the server. Depending on the server type, different dispatchers can be made accessible through different names (for example the HTTP based servers use the Path provided with the HTTP request to determine the dispatcher) or the dispatcher marked as Default will be used. Note: A design time editor for the Dispatcher collection is provided in the IDE, which you can invoke by clicking the ellipsis (...) button in the Properties Pane. You can use this editor to create new MessageDispatcher instances at design time and link them to the specific message components you have dropped onto your form.
