3.2. Getting Started with .NET
3.2.1. .NET Messaging Development
All .NET languages are supported using the C++ Messaging API. The most significant difference between .NET development and the other languages is that in a .NET environment the broker is always running on a remote server. With Python, C++, and Java development it is possible to run the broker and the client on the same machine during development, and the example code assumes this. All connections with .NET clients, however, are to a broker running remotely.
While developing and testing against a remote server it is important to configure the firewall correctly. This step can be skipped when the broker is running locally, but is crucial when the broker is running on a remote server.
