We've trying recently to use XML-RPC.Net library on our project. Both server(.Net Remoting) and client have been made according to the instructions we've found on http://xml-rpc.net/.
The connection has been made, we obtain data from the server and so on.
As the title states, now, we'd like to know how to make our XML-RPC server instance, which is created after the first client call, be able to give feedback to a WPF UI. What we'd like to accomplish is to register an event on a server property so the call could arrive to the UI thread.
We are open to any suggestions in this regard.
IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
props["name"] = "SubsetHttpChannel";
props["port"] = 5678;
channel = new System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpChannel(
props,
null,
new XmlRpcServerFormatterSinkProvider()
);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, false);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType( typeof(SubsetServer), "subsetserver.rem", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
Server = new SubsetServer();
Server.Machine.OnChangeState += delegate(State actual, State next, Event pEvent)
{
uiWindowInstance.PostMessage(string.Format("Subset Server: {0} -> {1}", actual.Name, next.Name));
};
Technologies used: VS2012, WPF 4.5 and XML-RPC.NET 2.5.0
Thanks in Advance
Thanks to anyone that took the time to read it and try to answer.
I found a solution that fits me for the moment. I'd like to share it with you in the hope someone could give any hints wheter this is a solution that may generate problems in the future.
After analyzing, I found out that both server instances run in the same process. So I've created a Singleton as a property inside my Server.
I've put whatever I need inside the Singleton, so for the delegate I'd like to use in my question, the code now is:
Server = new SubsetServer();
Server.**singleton**.Machine.OnChangeState += delegate(State actual, State next, Event pEvent)
{
uiWindowInstance.PostMessage(string.Format("Subset Server: {0} -> {1}", actual.Name, next.Name));
};
Hope this helps anyone else. Please comment if you find any flaws.
