Hello,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
There's a basic getting started tutorial on codeproject. However, this does<br clear="none">
refer to the quickfix c++ wrapper as opposed to the pure .net implementation<br clear="none">
of quickfix (Quickfix/n).<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/145174/Fix-Message-Implementation-using-">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/145174/Fix-Message-Implementation-using-</a><br clear="none">
QuickFix<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
However, the only differences required to get it working with the pure .net<br clear="none">
quickfix implementation is that instead of having to reference the two DLLs<br clear="none">
mentioned in the article (quickfix_net.dll and quickfix_net.message.dll) you<br clear="none">
only need to reference the single quickfix.dll that is part of the download.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The only other differences are relatively minor in that it follows c# idioms<br clear="none">
(ie interfaces all start with I, methods and properties are all camel cased<br clear="none">
(that is OnMessage as opposed to onMessage)).<br clear="none">
The list of differences between the .net c++ wrapper for quickfix and the<br clear="none">
pure .net implementation can be found here:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.quickfixn.org/tutorial/compatibility">http://www.quickfixn.org/tutorial/compatibility</a><br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Beyond that there are some example applications on the quickfix/n website<br clear="none">
itself.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.quickfixn.org/tutorial/example-applications">http://www.quickfixn.org/tutorial/example-applications</a><br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
(actually I've just found a codeproject article that seems to be an update<br clear="none">
of the previous that just relates to the pure .net implementation<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/448720/Implementation-of-FIX-messages-fo%20r-Fix-sp-and">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/448720/Implementation-of-FIX-messages-fo<br clear="none">
r-Fix-sp-and</a>)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
anyway, hopefully that should be enough to get you started with a basic fix<br clear="none">
client (initiator) and server (acceptor).<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Cheers,<br clear="none">
