# Chat App
Windows Forms Application made in Visual Studio Community 2019 v16.7.6 and written in C# (.NET Framework v4.6.1).
Application is made for sole purpose of showing how to implement `TcpListener` and `TcpClient` classes, as well as asynchronous read and write functions.
Used `ConcurrentDictionary` class which is a thread-safe collection of key/value pairs to store client information.
Used `Task` class to prevent race conditions.
Server uses multithreading to accept clients (i.e. server can accept multiple clients).
Check the code in these two files:
* [/src/Server/Server/Server.cs](https://github.com/ivan-sincek/chat-app/blob/master/src/Server/Server/Server.cs)
* [/src/Client/Client/Client.cs](https://github.com/ivan-sincek/chat-app/blob/master/src/Client/Client/Client.cs)
Tested on Windows 10 Enterprise OS (64-bit).
Made for educational purposes. I hope it will help!
Future plans:
* create server and client classes,
* ~~option to hide the key field.~~
## How to Run
Run Server.exe and Client.exe.
---
You can use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com) to give your server a public address:
```fundamental
ngrok.exe tcp 9000
```
For more options run `ngrok.exe -h`.
