Ice for .Net includes a number of utility APIs in the Ice.Util class. This appendix summarizes the contents of these APIs for your reference.

On this page:

Communicator Initialization Methods

Ice.Util provides a number of overloaded initialize methods that create a communicator.

Identity Conversion

Ice.Util contains two methods to convert object identities of type Ice.Identity to and from strings.

Per-Process Logger Methods

Ice.Util provides methods for getting and setting the per-process logger.

Property Creation Methods

Ice.Util provides a number of overloaded createProperties methods that create property sets.

Proxy Comparison Methods

Two methods, proxyIdentityCompare and proxyIdentityAndFacetCompare, allow you to compare object identities that are stored in proxies (either ignoring the facet or taking the facet into account).

Stream Creation

Two methods, createInputStream and createOutputStream create streams for use with dynamic invocation.

Version Information

The stringVersion and intVersion methods return the version of the Ice run time:

{zcode:cs}
public static string stringVersion();
public static int intVersion();
{zcode}

The stringVersion method returns the Ice version in the form <major>.<minor>.<patch>, for example, 3.4.2. For beta releases, the version is <major>.<minor>b, for example, 3.4b.

The intVersion method returns the Ice version in the form AABBCC, where AA is the major version number, BB is the minor version number, and CC is patch level, for example, 30402 for version 3.4.2. For beta releases, the patch level is set to 51 so, for example, for version 3.4b, the value is 30451.
