Great job buddy. I’ll give it a good once over and get back to you with anything else I find. :)

Hormon,

I can’t seem to get this build working at all.

I’m using the following code:

#region Viz Connection

#region Viz Connection Method delegates

public delegate void UpdateGUICallback(SocketConnectionState state);
public delegate void UpdateLogCallback(String message);

#endregion

// Viz Connection
private void bConnectViz_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
remoteVizConnection.VizMachine = txtVizIPAddress.Text;
remoteVizConnection.VizPort = 6100;

if (!remoteVizConnection.IsConnected) {
remoteVizConnection.Connect();
} else {
remoteVizConnection.Disconnect();
remoteVizConnection.Dispose();
}
}

private void bLoadScene_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
remoteVizConnection.ClearBuffer();
remoteVizConnection.AddToBuffer(“1 RENDERER SET_OBJECT SCENE*01_ticker”, true);
remoteVizConnection.AddToBuffer(“2 RENDERER*STAGE SHOW 0.0″, true);
remoteVizConnection.AddToBuffer(“20 RENDERER*STAGE*DIRECTOR*Default START”, true);
remoteVizConnection.SendBufferSequentially();
}

public void UpdateLog(String message) {
txtVizLog.Text += message;
txtVizLog.Text += Environment.NewLine;
}

public void UpdateGUI(SocketConnectionState state) {
String caption = “Connect”;

switch (state) {
case SocketConnectionState.Disconnected:
caption = “CONNECT”;
bLoadScene.Enabled = false;
break;
case SocketConnectionState.Connecting:
caption = “CONNECTING…”;
bLoadScene.Enabled = false;
break;
case SocketConnectionState.Connected:
caption = “DISCONNECT”;
bLoadScene.Enabled = true;
break;
}

bConnectViz.Text = caption;
}

private void remoteVizConnection_OnConnect(object sender, VizConnectionEventArgs e) {
this.Invoke(new UpdateGUICallback(UpdateGUI), e.ConnectionState);
}

private void remoteVizConnection_OnConnecting(object sender, VizConnectionEventArgs e) {
this.Invoke(new UpdateGUICallback(UpdateGUI), e.ConnectionState);
}

private void remoteVizConnection_OnDisconnect(object sender, VizConnectionEventArgs e) {
this.Invoke(new UpdateGUICallback(UpdateGUI), e.ConnectionState);
}

private void remoteVizConnection_OnVizResponse(object sender, VizConnectionEventArgs e) {
// when response from viz arrives put it in log
this.Invoke(new UpdateLogCallback(UpdateLog), e.VizResponse);
}

#endregion

When I click the bLoadScene button the first command is sent to Viz, and then it just goes out to lunch. No response is ever returned and the additional two commands are never sent. Furthermore, the disconnect part of the code doesn’t work any more either.

Is there something I’m missing?

I can see only one mistake you’re making. You shouldn’t dispose your VizConnection object. The Disconnect() method should be enough to close the connection. Otherwise the second time your button it will throw an exception because your object is no longer there. Btw. Try using VizConnectionButton to manage connection. This way you won’t need to put any code for this to work.

As for the sending commands part I really don’t know what’s wrong. I run your code and it worked fine in my environment. I’ll look into it in the morning because now its 1AM and I may not think clearly.

[update] Are you running viz|artist or viz|engine? If you are running viz|artist you should switch it to control mode (OnAir) but you probably know that.

Strange.

Can I send my very basic project to you and you have a look?

Of course. I sent you an email with my direct address. Feel free to contact me.
