Correct. > 2) The README describes as a native .NET implementation also > compatible with amqp 0.10 Also correct. Though #2 does not get much attention or maintenance. My history is sketchy on this, but my undestanding is #2 started as a translation of the Java client; again, I believe it doesn't get much attention. > Downloading 2), there appears to be no source in the > distribution, although the README claims that the following > folder should exist after unpacking: > > ******* > Generate code from <project home>/dotnet/client-010/gentool: > > $ cd <project home>/dotnet/client-010/gentool > $ ant > ******* > > In the distro there are two folders, examples and lib, that > only contain binary artifacts. > > What are the major differences between these two > implementations from an API perspective? I've been using the > java client extensively and now want to provide .NET support. If I were you and wanted to program to a .NET model instead of WCF model, I'd look more at the .NET binding in the forthcoming 0.8. You can grab a release candidate from http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/0.8/RC3/. It's not a nice Windows installer yet so you'll need to build it from source, but I think you'll find it a closer model to what you want. If you want to be a guinea pig for an installer for this, let me know. -Steve -- Steve Huston, Riverace Corporation Total Lifecycle Support for Your Networked Applications http://www.riverace.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:users-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
