No network module?
« on: July 12, 2013, 10:08:24 pm »
Why there is no network module for c#? SFML packets are so useful for networking and generally .net socket classes are a bit low level. Also I'm not aware of crossplatform c# network module which has good open source license.

sfml-network is very low-level, for language with rich standard frameworks there's generally no need to bind this module. Aren't there Stream classes in .Net, that can be bound to sockets?

.NET sockets are even lower level than SFML sockets. Good point on streams, that seems like a good solution.

What about the TcpClient class? It's one layer above Sockets, allows communication with streams very easy.
Or if you want to create a game, take a look at the lidgren3 library, it's really awesome (and much faster than TCP as well)
