Network format
 

Hello, I am writing a C# application that communicates with a vizard program, and looking at the message sent from the vizard program, the format looks pretty complex! I am not too worried about parsing the vizard message in C#, but am not so sure about writing the code to send a UDP packet from C# to Vizard that the vizard networking accepts.

So, I was wondering, is there any documentation on the format?

Thank,
Christian

I looked into it further, and it turns out the message format is pickled - that is why it looks so odd. So I am working with IronPython to try to reverse the process and get at the data.

The data that is transmitted by Vizard is pickled using the cPickle module. To get access to the data on your end you can use the following code:The variable data should be a tuple containing:

1. The senders computer name
2. A tuple containing the positional data from the .send() command
3. A dictionary containing keyword data from the .send() command
