# NetLib

NetLib is a c\# network library without any external dependencies, built with .NET 4.7.1  

It makes the long and hard process to create a network protocol a bit easier.  

### Usage

Although the project is aimed at custom protocols, it is helpful when integrating with already existing protocols.  

Classes such as `ByteIntegrity`, `Crypt`, `Compression`, `Base64`, have all the functions a protocol needs.  

There are 2 Clients a `TcpClient` and an `SSLClient`.  

With servers you can choose between ssl and non-ssl servers as well as single or multi client handling servers.  

Multi client handling servers have a unique client ID system, so you can focus on the messages of a client.  

ByteIntegrity turns Tcp from a stream into a message protocol by sending the length of the message as a prefix, handling the message construction in the background.  

### Events

NetLib is almost fully event based, you can subscribe to events such as ClientConnected, BytesReceived, LineReceived, ClientDisconnected.  

Also based on your needs simple direct read/write methods are available, NOTE: they block the execution on the calling thread until a message is received.  

We also support async read calls, so your form based application can run without freezing.  

### Summary

In short NetLib is an awesome protocol building library, highliy customizable and easy to control.  

Just clone the repo, open it with Visual Studio, build the project (CTRL + SHIFT + B) to get a .dll file you can import to other projects.

Happy protocol design!
