Overview Of Classes By Project

Tungsten (Tungsten, Portable, Universal, Standard)

• W.Lockable - A generic class to wrap a value in a thread-safe manner
• W.Property - A generic class providing a number of enhancements to a W.Lockable value
  • Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
  • Adds IsDirty/MarkAsClean functionality
  • Supports a callback handler in the constructor so you don't have to use events
• W.PropertyHost - a base class which automates the IsDirty, MarkAsClean and InitializeProperties so you don't have to.
• W.PropertyChangedNotifier - provides implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged in a base-class with overridable GetValue and SetValue methods
• [W.PropertyHostNotifier] - aggregates PropertyHost and PropertyChangedNotifier
• W.InvokeExtensions - A static class exposing InvokeEx extension methods (to ease InvokeRequired handling)
• W.CallResult - A non-generic class which can be used to return true/false and an exception from a function
• W.Threading.Thread - automates creating a thread with an Action
• W.Threading.Thread<T> - like Thread, except Action is now Action<T>
• W.Threading.Gate - similar to Thread, a Gate can be started some time after creation
• W.Threading.Gate<T> - like Gate, exception Action is now Action<T>
• W.ActionQueue<T> - Merges a Thread with a ConcurrentQueue. Executes the provided Action<T> or Func<T, bool>, on a background thread, whenever an item is added to the ConcurrentQueue.

Tungsten.Net

These two classes are designed to be the primary implementations

• W.Net.GenericServer - a generic TCP server hosts secure client connections
• W.Net.GenericClient - a secure generic TCP client to be used specifically with W.Net.GenericServer; sends and receives messages of any type

These classes can be used if you don't need to transmit objects

• W.Net.SecureStringServer - a secure server which hosts W.Net.SecureStringClient connections
• W.Net.SecureStringClient - a secure client which
• W.Net.StringServer - a non-secure server which hosts non-secure W.Net.StringClient connections
• W.Net.StringClient - a non-secure string client to be used specifically with W.Net.StringServer; sends and receives string messages

The following classes can be used to create more customized implementations

• W.Net.Sockets.SecureServer - can be used with customized secure client connections
• W.Net.Sockets.Server - a non-secure server; can be used with customized W.Net.Socket.FormattedSocket clients
• W.Net.Sockets.FormattedSocket - can be used to create a custom client with a custom data type (as long as you can convert it to and from a byte array)
• W.Net.Sockets.Socket - can be used to create a custom client which transmits byte arrays

Tungsten.Net.RPC

• W.Net.RPC.Server - An RPC server (see Tungsten.Net.RPC.Standard.Demo for use)
• W.Net.RPC.Client - An RPC client (see Tungsten.Net.RPC.Standard.Demo for use)

Tungsten.Domains

• W.Domains.DomainLoader - A handy class to make reloadable AppDomains easy

Tungsten.IO.Pipes

• W.IO.Pipes.PipeClient - A named pipe client; designed to be used with W.IO.Pipes.PipeServer
• W.IO.Pipes.PipeServer - A named pipe server; designed to be used with W.IO.Pipes.PipeClient
• W.IO.Pipes.FormattedPipeClient - the base class for PipeClient which handles connecting, disconnecting and cleanup
• W.IO.Pipes.PipeTransceiver - the base class of FormattedPipeClient which handles sending and receiving of data

Tungsten.LiteDb

• W.LiteDb.LiteDbItem - A base class for your POCO classes (necessary for LiteDbMethods due to needing to know the _id field)
• W.LiteDb.LiteDbMethods - CRUD methods for your POCO classes which inherit LiteDbItem

Tungsten.Firewall

• W.Firewall - Provides static methods to add, remove and check the existance of, Windows firewall rules
