Hi all. Been lurking for a bit playing around with my N+. Got a 4x20 LCD up and running with a shift register as my first project. But now I would like to move on to the real reason a got a N+. I want to listen to a specific port (UDP or TCP) which is broadcast to by an application running through the internet from another location. The information that is sent over this port will then be displayed on the LCD. I used to program C# for sharepoint, so its not really new to me. But NETMF is completely new to me. I have looked at a few of the webserver examples, but I can't seem to get what I really want. I think what I am looking for is either a UDP or TCP listener. But the NETMF doesn't support them. Any ideas on other methods, or am I completely missing the boat somewhere?

Luke,

I needed to provide a web server for a project I worked on a while ago (details here) which can be used to isten on multiple ports - just put each listener in it's own thread.

And welcome to the community.

Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks Mark, I'll take a look and report back.

Mark, I wanted to get back to you. I understand now and your example REALLY helped. I took bits of your code (I hope thats ok) and am patching them into the rest of my code. Thank you so much I learned a lot. Luke

Would it be too much to ask to package this project and transfer it to the wiki somehow ? Thanks for posting !

I'm glad it helped. My code is free for non commercial use so feel free to use it as such.

I suppose this needs some feedback from Chris. Has there been any ideas about a structure of a code repository and requirements for adding code into it?

The project showcase is a great place to put code etc. or links to our own blogs / pages discussing our projects and the Wiki seems to be the next step. I'd like to know if there is any thoughts on the way forward with the Wiki following the discussion thread a few weeks ago.

For now, please post code samples in the Project Showcase forum.

Soon we'll be opening the Sandbox Wiki to the public--and that will become the place to post actual code (linked from the forums). We will be soliciting feedback on templates to help structure that...and it sounds like a few of you already have very good ideas on what that should look like!

Thanks for all the contributions, guys. I love this community.

Chris
