HoloToolkit - How can I create PERSISTENT session from console/web based client?
Hi,
I'm using HoloToolkit library in C# console (and web) applications, only to create a session (to which other HoloLens based clients will connect later). But it is only creating ADHOC session despite passing SessionType as PERSISTENT.
Following is the Main() function code:
XToolsApp xToolsApp = new XToolsApp();
Timer timer = new Timer(60);
timer.Elapsed += (source, e) => { xToolsApp.Update(); };
timer.Start();
NetworkConnectionData networkConnectionData = new NetworkConnectionData(xToolsApp)
{
UserName = "TestUser",
ServerAddress = "localhost:20602",
ViewerAddress = "localhost:20603"
};
xToolsApp.SessionManagerListener.SessionAdded += (session) =>
{
if (session.GetName().GetString().Equals("Default", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
xToolsApp.CreateSession("TestSession", SessionType.PERSISTENT);
}
};
Console.ReadLine();
In above Main() function code, the statement "xToolsApp.CreateSession("TestSession", SessionType.PERSISTENT)" calls the following function:
public bool CreateSession(string sessionName, SessionType sessionType)
{
XString nameXString = new XString(sessionName);
LogWriteLine("Creating Session " + sessionName);
if (!this.SessionManager.CreateSession(nameXString, sessionType))
{
LogWriteLine("Failed to request a new session!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
Then, finally, in above function, the statement "this.SessionManager.CreateSession(nameXString, sessionType)" calls following method which was auto generated by HoloToolkit.Sharing library and I think this code calls native code (inside SharingClient.Dll file which is placed in bin folder):
public virtual bool CreateSession(XString sessionName, SessionType type)
{
bool ret = SharingClientPINVOKE.SessionManager_CreateSession__SWIG_1(swigCPtr, XString.getCPtr(sessionName), (int)type);
return ret;
}
So, you see that I'm passing Session type as PERSISTENT but I still always get only ADHOC session created, which closes itself as soon as my client leaves that session (as no other user is present in that session). What should I do to get PERSISTENT session created from my client code?
P.S. - I created same question in forum yesterday but it is not appearing (may be due to pending approval?).
