Question

I ask similar question here I use this sample to implement namedpipes in win form, but now I need to run that in console application so there is a problem in handle events, in original code some events declared and fired in some threads as following:

public class PipeServer {

  public delegate void MessageReceivedHandler(byte[] message)

  public event MessageReceivedHandler MessageReceived;


  void ListenForClients() {

    //Some code

    Thread readThread = new Thread(Read) { IsBackground = true  };

  }

  void Read(object clientObj) {

    //Some Code

    if(MessageReceived != null)
        MessageReceived(ms.ToArray());

  }

}

So in win form we use it like this:

public partial class Form1 : Form {

private PipeServer pipeServer = new PipeServer();

public Form1(){

pipeServer.MessageReceived += pipeServer_MessageReceived;

}

void pipeServer_MessageReceived(byte[] message) {

Invoke(new PipeServer.MessageReceivedHandler(Do_pipeServer_MessageReceived),
       new object[] { message });
}

public void Do_pipeServer_MessageReceived(byte[] message ) {

//Do Job

}

So when I use Console Application I can’t use Invoke, Does any one know what is the implementation for this in console apps?

Answer 1

Finally I found that for each event that fired in PipeServer class I remove that event and replace with the handler (onevent) so the above example will be like the following:

public class PipeServer {


void ListenForClients() {

//Some code

Thread readThread = new Thread(Read) { IsBackground = true  };

}

void Read(object clientObj) {

//Some Code

MessageReceived(ms.ToArray());

 }


void MessageReceived(byte[] message){

  //Do Job

}


}

And added a constructor for PipeServer class for needed implementation, at the end just declare an instance of PipeServer. This approach maybe not the standard implementation but worked for me.
