XSocket.net without PlugIn-Framework

Question

I cannot find in the documentation a way to start a XSocket server without using the PlugIn Framework.

I have a very easy library which contains its own controllers (located in the library itself) and which references XSockets.

I don't really need the PlugIn Framework and it is disturbing me because my library is located in a binaries folder with a number of other components that I don't manage. The PlugIn Framework is not working properly in such a complex environment and I'm quite sure it has to be possible to get an instance of the server singleton (new() is not working) without having to use:

server = XSockets.Plugin.Framework.Composable.GetExport<IXSocketServerContainer>();

thanks for your help.

Answer 1

My guess is this. You have a non .net assembly in your bin folder. In XSocket plugin framwork version 1.1 there was a bug throwing an exception when trying to load an non .net assembly.

This issue is fixed in 1.3 (current version) and upgrading to XSockets 3.0.3 should take care of this issue.
