[Freeswitch-users] Establishing a Call from .Net based application

[Diego Toro]

The managed module is loaded as a module during the startup of FreeSWITCH if set in modules.conf.xml or through the command "load mod_managed" must keep in mind that there is a directory "mod/managed. As mod_managed is loaded into FreeSWITCH process to take control of the call must be running FreeSWITCH. So to "talk" with FreeSWITCH is not necessary to know the IP, the IP depends on the profile you've defined in the configuration of the module sofia. If you need the local address of the box running FreeSWITCH try expand variable $${local_ip_v4} which is assigned automatically by FreeSWITCH.

Being more clear, when you use mod_managed including <action application="managed" data="yourclassname"/>
 in a dialplan already have way to run your C# code.
 
Now, if you need is to have control of the call to answer, originate, etc, without the application run inside FreeSWITCH process, you can use managed ESL (see examples in libs/esl/managed) this library allows your code using events "talk" with FreeSWITCH.
