How To Get The Shared Dictionary
<< Back to the SharedPhidgets page
You can get a reference to the shared dictionary that is used by all the SharedPhidgets components and skins. This lets you read and modify entries in the shared dictionary directly.
Note: this is only recommended for advanced developers! Be aware that by changing wrong entries in the dictionary, the complete SharedPhidgets infrastructure might become instable.
Note: you need the GroupLab .Networking toolkit to work with a shared dictionary and subscriptions
= new GroupLab.SharedPhidgets.ConnectionManager();
GroupLab.Networking.SharedDictionary sharedDictionary =
connectionManager.getSharedDictionary();
Then you can setup a new subscription object that receives all the entries in the shared dictionary:
= new GroupLab.Networking.Subscription();
subscription.BeginInit();
subscription.Dictionary = sharedDictionary;
subscription.Pattern = "/*";
subscription.Notified
+=new GroupLab.Networking.SubscriptionEventHandler(subscription_Notified);
subscription.Enabled = true;
subscription.EndInit();
You also need this callback method of the notification event handler:
{
string path = e.Path;
object receivedValue = e.Value;
// Your code here
}
