I know a French pun that will work very well here! 
OK, here is the translated version: The more fools, the less rice!
Hmmm... doesn't translate so well! haha!

It's free library! You get what you pay for...
If you want 0 dependencies, you can always write it yourself and make it available on nuget for everybody to enjoy.

Simple engineering rule: if something is not broken, means that it still does not do enough.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

that explains a lot!

I refuse to use NuGet for exactly that reason. If I can't find the actual source and compile it myself, I don't use it.

Hey, it's made by a developer, and you're his customer.
Therefore you're an idiot if you don't want it the way he made it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I saw a beautiful match, actually (point of view matters, I suppose).

I saw a great match, marred only by Origi being unable to hit a barn door from 3 inches away. He really let Belgium down; not taking anything away from Italy, they played very well and did what they needed to do.

I think you must have missed most of the match

As an unbiased outsider, I saw the whole match. Well, I say unbiased, if Belgium don't improve I'm not going to win the sweepstake.

In a competition where showing you can tie your shoelaces nicely is almost enough to get you into the knock-out phase, I wouldn't worry too much just yet. It would help if you had one player who knew what that big white thing at the end of the pitch was for, though.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

15 month ago I was hired by my current company for a "super urgent" project.
One key requirement was that client server communication should be reliable sequential, with great control over the particular network interfaces used (wifi / 4G / IP-Radio) despite unreliable network.
I.e. the tablet is on a truck. The truck send a message about an incident inside a tunnel. While there is no network connection (inside the tunnel!). As soon as out of the tunnel the message goes and the server responds. No message should be lost, yada, yada....
Anyway.. 15 month later, it's government, they still haven't bought it (and they were secretly using another app internally, power struggle story!). Anyhow other app keeps crashing, competitor software was causing business difficulty, they throw them out and were really impressed by ours demo. Finally gonna buy it! Really like when they keep disconnecting / reconnecting network and oooo... it keeps working like nothing happened! I take great joy and pride and how this feature impress customer!
By the way I was inspired by some CP article here which suggested a single method WCF interface Send(Message) for ALL communication as a starting point (using Message subclasses, obviously). That was my starting point... (by Sacha Barber and/or Peter Hanlon?!)
Though we didn't used WCF at all in the end...
As a side note, to share some WCF though, I see little point in WCF in fact, come to think of it... Particularly since the benefit it provides are minor when balanced against the configuration hassle it comes with and the fact that once serialization is taken care of, client server communication is no big deal...
Web API on the other hand is quite good!
Anyhow in this app we use custom communication protocol (of my creation) with TCP and.. UDP support!
First time I do an UDP server too! haha!

Well done. I hope the contract is signed.

Thanks! Me too!
Although, at this stage, it seems to be just a matter of allocating the money. Some big shot in the administration give us his blessing just this morning!

well done
seems like you'd be queueing/storing messages while no connection, then as soon as a connection becomes available and the queue != empty, you'd send its contents - I've oft been accused of over-engineering things, but I do know a bit about reliable data transmission
|
|
|
|
|
That's why I do indeed!
Furthermore message are queued in the database in (the unlikely ) case the app crashes. And there is a little app that check the app is alive every 5 seconds.
Oh, and also, we keep (client initiated) connection alive between client and server. This way the server can talk back to clients, since the client don't have a public well know IP available otherwise.
