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.

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...

SharedPropertyGroupManager SPGM = new SharedPropertyGroupManager(); try { SharedPropertyGroup SPG = SPGM.Group(ticket); SharedProperty SP = SPG.Property(my_property); ...
