AGenius.UsefulStuff

A Collection of useful utilities and Extensions

This contains a collection of stuff I constantly use in application development.

I always find that I re-use so much useful and reused code so I have decided to put it together in one collection

I have added many usefull helpers and Utilites too

Full Comments and Documentation to follow

TCPServer

Simple TCPServer classes for listening and transporting messages from incomming client requests

TCPClient

Simple TCPClient class for communicating to a server over TCP

TCPSocketClient

A transactional based TCP Server using Socket (With or Without SSL) support

Start the Server (With or Without SSL)

var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder.AddConsole());
var serverLogger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<TcpServer>();

var certificate = new X509Certificate2("path/to/certificate.pfx", "password");
var server = new TCPSocketClient(5001, serverLogger, useSsl: true, certificate);
await server.StartAsync();

or without SSL

var server = new TcpServer(5001, serverLogger);
await server.StartAsync();

TCPSocketClient

A transactional based TCP Client using Socket (With or Without SSL) support

Start the Client

var logger = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder.AddConsole()).CreateLogger<TCPSocketClient>();
var client = new TCPSocketClient("127.0.0.1", 5001, logger, useSsl: true);

client.OnClientEvent += (eventType, message) => Console.WriteLine($"[{eventType}] {message}");

await client.ConnectAsync();
await client.SendMessageAsync("Hello, Secure Server!");
client.Disconnect();

or without SSL

var client = new TCPSocketClient("127.0.0.1", 5001, logger,);

SSHelper (Screen Capture Helper))

A simple screen capture helper class to capture the screen and save it to a file

Allowing a hot key to be pressed to capture the screen and save it to a file or initiate a screen capture directly

To use the Screen Capture Helper, you can use the following code

SSHelper ss;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ss = new SSHelper(); // Create a new instance of the SSHelper class
    ss.ScreenshotCaptured += Ss_ScreenshotCaptured; // Subscribe to the ScreenshotCaptured event
    ss.StartSSCapture();
}

private void Ss_ScreenshotCaptured(string screenshotPath)
{
    this.BringToFront();
    ss.Dispose();
            
    AGenius.UsefulStuff.Utils.LaunchURLorFile(screenshotPath);
}

or you could use the follow to wait for a hot key to be pressed to capture the screen

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ss = new SSHelper(Keys.F12); // Create a new instance of the SSHelper class and wait for the F12 key to be pressed
    ss.ScreenshotCaptured += Ss_ScreenshotCaptured; // Subscribe to the ScreenshotCaptured event
    ss.StartSSCapture();
}
