Hello,

Is anybody using the Genuine Channels product that has been
recommended on this newsgroup by its author? If so, does it work as
advertised without requiring source code modification? Did it solve
your problem?

I am interesting in using .NET event callbacks from server to client
and am aware of the reliability and scalability problems inherent in
the built-in channel implementations (Thanks, Ingo, for the article).
Also, automatic reconnection without message loss would be a big plus.

Thanks in advance.

I'm experimenting with Genuine Channels, and it seems to be a very robust
product.

I started with the trial version (which you can download from
www.genuinechannels.com) only to check if it solved my problem: singleton
server blocking/serializing upon client request, with framework 1.0. It did
solve my problem, executing each client request in a separate thread from
the ThreadPool. So, I went ahead and purchased a license. It comes with full
source code, and a few examples. It is/does much more than I needed, but I'm
very pleased with the product. Besides, with the source code, it also works
as a nice tutorial of how to build your own channels.

I cannot comment on your particular needs, but I sugest that you download
the trial version, and check it for yourself. It is just like the full
product, without the source and with a limit on the number of messages
exchanged in the channel, but large enough for your to put it to the
testing.
