Re: [hobbit] XyMon client for Windows - XyWin.Net

Hi Rich,
No. BBwin does everything it says it can do. 
It is just that I want it to do a lot more.  To name a few items.

   * Instead of initiating a connection to the XyMon server to deliver
     its messages, I want it to also wait for XyMon to initiate a
     connection and then accept the Windows client messages.  This is
     required with clients in a company DMZ.
   * Support SSL encryption of client messages to XyMon
   * Become a "proxy" to accept BBwin client messages from nearby
     clients and then forward them to the XyMon server (either
     immediately or wait for XyMon connection)
   * Support sending to different combinations of servers
   * Support alternate message formats (Standard BB text, XML, web
     services, etc)
   * etc
Take a look at my "about" page at the http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/xywinnet/about-xywin-net/ 

Thanks.
Fred

Hi,

I am starting to develop a new client for Windows systems.
While BBwin is a very solid product, but my wishlist is LARGE and my knowledge of C++ and Windows DLL development is very limited. However, I am VERY comfortable with the .NET framework. So, to save (my) time, I am writing a "from the ground up" new XyMon client for Windows. Written in C# on .NET v2.0 framework. (V2.0 is standard Win 2003 and up.)
It's still in the early design stages, but the XyWin.Net core framework is firming up quickly. The core framework will make building separate "plug-ins" very easy. 

I welcome all input (and help).  It is at SourceForge.
