Detailed Description

A utility class for encoding CollatedPacketMessage packets, including compression.

Typical usage:

• Instantiate the packet encoder.
• Reset the encoder.
• For each constituent message:
  • Generate the packet using PacketBuffer
  • Finalise the packet
  • Call Add(PacketBuffer)
• Call FinaliseEncoding() on the encoder
• Send the encoded packet.
• Reset the encoder.

See CollatedPacketDecoder for notes on why

System.IO.Compression

is not used.

Derives the IConnection interface for compatibility.

Property Documentation

byte [] Tes::Util::CollatedPacketEncoder::Buffer [get]

Direct access to the internal buffer bytes.

Intended to aid in serialisation of completed packets. For example:

          writer.Send(packet.Buffer, 0, packet.Count)

Use with care.

int Tes::Util::CollatedPacketEncoder::Overhead [static, get]

Byte count overhead added by using a collated packet.

This is the sum of PacketHeader, CollatedPacketMessage and the Crc16 value type.
