Remoting: getting connected clients

Question

1) How can I determine in server all the clients that are connected? 2) I have three projects (server, client and "shared object"). One method in shared object causes an event to be triggered. How do I know, who fired the method? The scenario is : one client is sending data, that is to be shared to all connected clients, but they should know, who sent the data.

Answer 1

Woot? IPHostAdress.AddressList returns all IP addresses that are assigned to the server, not the IP addresses of connected clients.

Answer 2

There is another way to get connecteg clients: string s = "Sended string"; IPHostEntry heserver = Dns.Resolve(server); foreach (IPAddress curAdd in heserver.AddressList) { client.Send(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s), s.Length, curAdd.ToString(), 30000); } Replace 'server' by your server name...

Answer 3

IIS has no such method. May be, it's possible by system, but we don't know how. We remember such info in SPM - in our objects. Any client which want to connect to the server must send a "ticket" with id, etc. to it. using System; using System.EnterpriseServices; using System.Diagnostics; namespace .... { public class MyServicedComponent : ServicedComponent { .... SharedPropertyGroupManager SPGM = new SharedPropertyGroupManager(); try { SharedPropertyGroup SPG = SPGM.Group(ticket); SharedProperty SP = SPG.Property(my_property); ...
