   C++\CLI WPF client that sends and gets messages using a mock channel. Also included are several diagrams that illustrate design ideas for Project #4 and some sample Socket code.

   This folder contains an example C++\CLI client built using WPF. It uses a mock channel to simulate sending and receiving messages.
   This demonstrates how to use .Net Threads in the WPF client in conjunction with C++11 threads in the channel and server, built using native code.

   The folder also contains an example C# client built with WPF. It uses a C++\CLI shim to communicate with the native C++ MockChannel. The MockChannel is built as a static library and linked to the C++\CLI shim, so the C# WPF client only has to load one dll.

   The C# interop example above uses delegates: delegate structure.
