Announce Sharp SNMP Library for .NET

I have been working with SNMP on Microsoft.NET platform for months. In order to leave my experience fresh and clear for other developers that might enter this field one day, I wonder what kind of contribution I could do. And here comes it.

I have just set up a new project on CodePlex.com named Sharp SNMP Suite. This project is aiming to provide a suite of SNMP components and classes that are helpful to implement SNMP on .NET.

The project home page is here at,

http://www.codeplex.com/sharpsnmplib

The FAQ page is here.

Does this use the underlying windows winsnmp api?

Noop, #SNMP is 100% C# code so independent of Windows WinSNMP API.

Lex,

First, thanks for your work!

When I use the browser or testget from command line, I am only seeing the following error and could not get past anything.

"Exception of type 'Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.SharpTimeOutException was thrown'

Any ideas what I am missing here?

Well, Vik, I have been preparing an update to this FAQ later. Timeout is a complex issue so really cannot be answered in a word. Possible resolutions are, try to use SNMP v2, try another community name and so on. Do you have another SNMP browser at hand? Does it work? How it is configured? If it works while #SNMP fails, you can compare their configuration at first. We may further discuss this if you open a new thread on http://www.codeplex.com/sharpsnmplib/Thread/List.aspx

I've been looking for an open source SNMP library that can run on Mono and thanks for this project and its author. Looking forward on using this suite. Thanks a lot!
