Contents
Location
You can find the EchoToChannel sample project at:
- Start | Programs | Embarcadero RAD Studio Alexandria | Samples and then navigate to Object Pascal\DataSnap\EchoToChannel.
- Subversion Repository:
- You can find Delphi code samples in GitHub Repositories. Search by name into the samples repositories according to your RAD Studio version.
Description
The Echo to Channel sample contains two projects:
- The client sample demonstrates how to listen for messages from a callback channel using a DataSnap/DBX TCPIP connection.
- The server demonstrates how to implement a server method that broadcasts a message to a channel.
How to Use the Sample
Navigate to Start | Programs | Embarcadero RAD Studio Alexandria | Samples and go to Object Pascal\DataSnap\EchoToChannel. There are two projects in the EchoToChannel directory:
EchoToChannel Server Project
- Open the EchoToChannelServerProject.dproj project.
- Build the EchoToChannelServerProject.dproj project.
- Run the application by clicking Run > Run in the IDE or by pressing F9.
- This opens an Echo to Channel server interface.
- Follow the EchoToChannel Client Project instructions to start one or more clients.
EchoToChannel Client Project
- Open the DBXEchoToChannelClientProject.dproj project.
- Build the DBXEchoToChannelClientProject.dproj project.
- Run the application by clicking Run > Run in the IDE or by pressing F9.
- The client application enables you to listen to a channel and call the server method class.
