ysbakker / multichat

A native macOS multi-client chat application implementation using C# and the .NET framework. It uses AppKit bindings from Xamarin.Mac.

MultiChat

This project was build as an assignment for the HAN University of Applied Sciences. It features a client and server application built using the .NET framework. Both applications run natively on macOS thanks to the Xamarin.Mac library.

Things to note

There are some quirks to this project that are far from best practice. It should therefore probably not be copied. For example, it uses low-level networking classes like System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient because this was a specific requirement for the assignment. Also, most of this application's code is placed directly in the ViewController file. This is definitely not a good idea, but is fine according to the assignment's requirements. The application should be dummy-proof though, as relevant exceptions are handled properly everywhere.
