In this article, I will explain the implementation of an Open Source lightweight framework (named Simple Client Server Library (SCS)) that is developed to create client/server applications using a simple Remote Method Invocation mechanism over TCP/IP.
using System;
using Hik.Communication.Scs.Client;
using Hik.Communication.Scs.Communication.EndPoints.Tcp;
using Hik.Communication.Scs.Communication.Messages;

/* This program is build to demonstrate a client application that connects to a server
 * and sends/receives messages in basic way of SCS framework.
 */

namespace ClientApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            //Create a client object to connect a server on 127.0.0.1 (local) IP and listens 10085 TCP port
            var client = ScsClientFactory.CreateClient(new ScsTcpEndPoint("127.0.0.1", 10085));

            //Register to MessageReceived event to receive messages from server.
            client.MessageReceived += Client_MessageReceived;
            
            Console.WriteLine("Press enter to connect to the server...");
            Console.ReadLine(); //Wait user to press enter

            client.Connect(); //Connect to the server
            
            Console.Write("Write some message to be sent to server: ");
            var messageText = Console.ReadLine(); //Get a message from user

            //Send message to the server
            client.SendMessage(new ScsTextMessage(messageText));                
            
            Console.WriteLine("Press enter to disconnect from server...");
            Console.ReadLine(); //Wait user to press enter
            
            client.Disconnect(); //Close connection to server
        }

        static void Client_MessageReceived(object sender, MessageEventArgs e)
        {
            //Client only accepts text messages
            var message = e.Message as ScsTextMessage;
            if (message == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Server sent a message: " + message.Text);
        }
    }
}

I have started programming at 14 years old using Pascal as hobby. Then I interested in web development (HTML, JavaScript, ASP...) before university.

I graduated from Sakarya University Computer Engineering. At university, I learned C++, Visual Basic.NET, C#, ASP.NET and Java. I partly implemented ARP, IP and TCP protocols in Java as my final term project.

Now, I am working on Windows and web based software development mostly using Microsoft technologies in my own company.
