public sealed class DOFConnection

The DOFConnection type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	addDomain	Dynamically add the credentials, which are used on a connection that supports authentication, to verify that the host being connected to is authorized to process authentication requests in the domain that is specified in the credentials.
	addPeerListener	Add a peer listener to this connection.
	addStateListener	Add a connection state-change handler to this connection.
	addTrustedDomain	Dynamically add in a configured TRP route without credentials.
	beginConnect(Int32)	Open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be established.
	beginConnect(Int32, DOFConnectionConnectOperationListener)	Open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be established.
	beginConnect(Int32, DOFConnectionConnectOperationListener, Object)	Open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be established.
	beginReconnect(Int32)	Re-open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be reestablished.
	beginReconnect(Int32, DOFConnectionConnectOperationListener)	Re-open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be reestablished.
	beginReconnect(Int32, DOFConnectionConnectOperationListener, Object)	Re-open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be reestablished.
	connect	Open a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be established.
	createConnection	Create a Type.POINT connection related to this connection. Anything else will fail. See Type.POINT for instructions to properly create a POINT connection.
	destroy	Destroy a connection, removing references to it.
	disconnect	Request that a connection be terminated.
	Equals	(Overrides ObjectEquals(Object).)
	GetHashCode	(Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.)
	getRelatedConnection	Return the connection that was created using DOFConnection.createConnection.
	getRelatedServer	Return the server that was created using DOFServer.createConnection.
	getState	Get the current instantaneous state of the connection.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	isConnected	Return whether or not the connection is currently connected.
	reconnect	Reopen a connection, waiting up to timeout for the connection to be reestablished.
	removeDomain	Dynamically remove the connection from the TRP route associated with the credentials.
	removePeerListener	Remove a peer listener from this connection.
	removeStateListener	Remove a connection state-change handler from this connection.
	removeTrustedDomain	Remove the connection from the TRP router for the specified domain.
	ToString	(Overrides ObjectToString.)

A DOFConnection represents all methods of communication, not just the typical point-to-point case. For example, membership in multicast groups is represented as a DOFConnection. Also, non-streaming "connections" use the DOFConnection.

DOFConnection represents a shared resource (the connection) that is actually managed inside the DOF. This means that a single DOFConnection represents only one of potentially multiple inputs to the DOF as to the desired state of the connection. This means, for example, that the StateListener s registered with this connection may be called because of state changes to the connection that are caused by other DOFConnections.

Constructing DOFConnection:

DOFConnection instances are constructed through the DOF with DOF.createConnection(Config) or from an existing connection with createConnection(Config) or from an instance of DOFConnection.State with State.createConnection() .

Special connection types:

• Unsecure multicast group (see Type.DATAGRAM ).
• Secure multicast group (see Type.GROUP ).
• Secure unicast group (see Type.HUB and Type.POINT ).
