Hi Tim,

It depends what you’re trying to accomplish. Many times an external server over sockets can offer benefits – scalability in some cases. But sometimes it’s not practical to do it on a separate process, or it’s just easier to do it in-process. (I find that a mix is the best approach – lump together smaller actions into an in-process app, then control it higher level from outside.)

There are some problems in the C# event socket code library, last time we checked. [As always,] Best to test it heavily before production. I’ve done reasonable stress tests on the mod_managed parts and didn’t run into any problems (I suppose if you created a multi-GB managed heap, a GC could pause some media threads for a bit…).

For the in-process managed API, see:

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_managed

See the Demo.cs in the src/mod/languages/mod_managed/managed folder for a simple example.

Protip: Use a higher level managed language than C#.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Getting Started using C#

I have a few questions about how to get started with Freeswitch using C#, since I mainly use it for development.  Any help or direction would be appreciated. 

1) How would I go about accessing the Freeswitch API from C#?

2) Does FreeSwitch offer a Web Services API or does the code have to run directly on the machine running Freeswitch?

Thanks.


Tim
