P2P Dictionary Getting Started

To construct a dictionary, include a member instance variable such as:

  GroupLab.PeerDictionary.P2PDictionary mDictionary;

Then, in the primary method of your class:

  mDictionary = new GroupLab.PeerDictionary.P2PDictionary("Your description",
    GroupLab.PeerDictionary.P2PDictionary.GetFreePort(1111),
    "Namespace");

"Your description"

User-friendly description for your dictionary. Currently used for web access.

GroupLab.PeerDictionary.P2PDictionary.GetFreePort(1111)

GetFreePort() is a helper function that finds the next free port to listen on. In this example, it searches at 1111.

"Namespace"

All peers that use this dictionary data need to have the same namespace. The namespace must follow HTTP path conventions.
