Receiving data

Data sent by the telnet server may be obtained by capturing the DataReceivedEvent fired by the Telnet class.

Capturing the DataReceievedEvent event

To capture and respond to the DataReceivedEvent do the following:

1.	Create a method that has the same signature as the DataReceivedEventHandler delegate.

2.	Add code within the newly created method to handle the event.

3.	Subscribe newly created method to capture the DataReceivedEvent when fired.

Example

[C#]

using System;

using Jscape.Telnet;

public class Test {

private Telnet telnet = null;

private string hostname = null;

public Test(string hostname) {

// set hostname

this.hostname = hostname;

// instantiate Telnet instance

telnet = new Telnet(hostname);

// delegate OnDataReceived method to capture DataReceivedEvent

telnet.DataReceivedEvent += new Telnet.DataReceivedEventHandler(this.OnDataReceived);

}

public void OnDataReceived(object sender, TelnetDataReceivedEventArgs e) {

// get data and print to console

Console.Write(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Data));

}

[Visual Basic]

Imports System

Imports Jscape.Telnet

Public Class Test

Private WithEvents myTelnet As Telnet

Private hostname As String = ""

Public Sub Test(ByVal hostname As String)

' set hostname

Me.hostname = hostname

' instantiate Telnet instance

myTelnet = New Telnet(hostname)

End Sub

Private Sub OnDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TelnetDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles myTelnet.DataReceivedEvent

' get data and print to console

Console.WriteLine(myTelnet.Encoding.GetString(e.Data))

End Sub

End Class
