Better support for Compact13Minshell menu

The development of this project began in April of this year with the objective of filling the absence of a good MQTT client for all .Net platforms. After 6 months I did not expect an interest so strong against him, probably due to the wave of the Internet of Things that is coming (or is already among us ? ) . Many people are using the library for projects of varying complexity , they send me mails ( with reports but also with compliments ) and open the "issue" on the CodePlex site , which I promptly resolve . This can push me to get better and better the quality of the project , now arrived at version 2.3.0 with some bug fixes but also with an interesting new feature : all the events raised by the MqttClient  class ( published message , the received message , ...) are executed in a separate thread , so the user no longer has to worry about launch "long" processing  in his event handler through a new thread. With this update, I hope to have made further improvements of great interest for those who ...

I made a bug fix on my Library M2Mqtt (MQTT client) that allows you to better manage the case where the client does not transmit anything for a time equal to the  "keep alive period " and the keep alive thread, whose task is to ping the broker to keep the connection alive, does not receive anything within the timeout period (ex. broker shutdown, network disconnection, ...).

The update is already available on CodePlex and Nuget !

Today I have opened Visual Studio 2012 and I have clicked on "New Project" and magically have discovered that .... it freezes and does not show me the templates list!

The problem is typically due to the templates list which is "polluted" by all SDKs that we install. To solve it, I made sure that Visual Studio regenerate the templates cache, as follows:

1. Open "Developer Comand Prompt for Visual Studio 2012" with administrator rights (found under "Visual Studio Tools");
2. Run "devenv / setup";
3. Wait about 10 minutes for the process to be completed;

When you restart Visual Studio ... everything worked again!

I have just updated on CodePlex and Nuget my uPLibrary library (version 2.1.0.0), adding automatic detection of any IPv6 address to the HTTP client (HttpClient class) . To determine the address class (AddressFamily), I implemented the '"Extension Method" GetAddressFamily () for the IPAddress class through the static class IPAddressUtility, needed only because the. NET Micro Framework does not itself provide the property AddressFamily in the IPAddress class.   1: public static AddressFamily GetAddressFamily(this IPAddress ipAddress) 2: { 3: return (ipAddress.ToString().IndexOf(':') != -1) ? 4: AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6 : AddressFamily.InterNetwork; 5: } In this way, at the time of the creation of the socket, it is automatically set to the correct address family from the address to connect to. 1: // create socket and connect 2: this.socket = new Socket( 3: this.hostIpEndPoint.Address.GetAddressFamily(), 4: Sock ...

After releasing the new version of my M2Mqtt library with support for SSL / TLS with server-side authentication, the time has come to show you an example of use. Choose and install the broker: Mosquitto First we have to choose an MQTT broker among those available but unfortunately no one is developed using the .Net Framework . Discarding more complex solutions , especially with regard to the installation and configuration , such as IBM Websphere , we can take into account to brokers like RabbitMQ , HiveMQ or Mosquitto. In this case , my choice was Mosquitto that we can download from the official web site for various operating systems based on Linux , as well as there is a convenient installer for the Windows environment . In fact, for Windows there are two installation modes: the first uses an installer in which the broker is compiled natively while in the second case is based on the Cygwin provides a Linux-like environment for Windows. It 'obvious that the first mode is the most simple and immediate . Afte ...

I just updated only on CodePlex (for now) M2Mqtt library (version 2.1.0.0), adding the automatic detection of any IPv6 address to connect. To determine the address class (AddressFamily), I implemented the '"Extension Method" GetAddressFamily() for the IPAddress class through the static class IPAddressUtility, necessary only because the. NET Micro Framework does not itself provide the property AddressFamily the IPAddress class. In fact, in the case of full / compact. Net Framework is returned that property while in the case of. NET Micro Framework is done by a simple search of the ":" character (separator in IPv6 addresses). 1: public static AddressFamily GetAddressFamily(this IPAddress ipAddress) 2: { 3: #if (!MF_FRAMEWORK_VERSION_V4_2 && !MF_FRAMEWORK_VERSION_V4_3) 4: return ipAddress.AddressFamily; 5: #else 6: return (ipAddress.ToString().IndexOf(':') != -1) ? 7: AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6 : AddressFamily.InterNetwork; 8: #endif ...
