Here is your quick start guide to understanding the source code. The solution consists of several project files.

ConsoleHost

This is a place holder project and is not used yet. When ready it will contain a console application that will use a config file and be an agent host.

DebugHost

Another placeholder for now. Currently the DebugHost is mixed in with Indy.Agents.Host, use it instead. DebugHost is a WinForms application which provides simulation of many hosts on a single machine by using application domains to separate them. This allows you to simulate having many physical hosts without needing to set up virtual or physical machines. DebugHost also provides visual feedback and the ability to take virtual hosts on and offline.

DemoAgent

This is a basic demo agent. It is a class library.

DemoClient

This is a demo client application which uses DemoAgent and sends them about on simple tasks to hosts.

Indy.Agents.Core

This is the core class library used by both the client and host applications. All agents require this library.

Indy.Agents.Host

IAH in the future will contain a class library of a default implementation to provide agent hosting services that can be used by users to build their own hosting applications, deploy as WCF, and so on. Currently DebugHost functionality is mixed directly in and this is a WinForms application.
