Introduction

The Server object represents an instance of aspNETserve.

Details

The Server object represents the default implementation of IServer, an interface which specifies the following actions: ``` void Start(); void Stop(); ServerStatus Status { get; }

```

All implementations of IServer are responsible for opening and listening on their preconfigured ports on the Start command, and disposing those resources upon the Stop command.

Disposal

All IServers implement the IDispoable interface, and therefore should be properly disposed of. Failure to dispose of an IServer could result in non-managed resources being left in a improper state, which could result in previously used sockets being temporarily unavailable. C#'s "using" statement ensures safe dispose of IServer, as do try/catch/finally blocks.
