检查服务器收到的第一条消息的最佳方法是什么？

Question

With my tpc server i'm trying to get the first message that's sent by the client. So that the server can determine what the purpose of the data is. Since the server can do multiple things with the data that gets sent from the clients. I was thinking maybe like a Protocol or something basically so that the server knows what the client wants to do.

public enum Protocol
        {
            Chat;
            Login;
            Disconnect;

    }

I made a Protocol class but i'm sure how I could integrate this with the streamRead.

Answer 1

  //Client
  var c = Protocol.Chat;
  stream.WriteByte((byte)c);

  //Server
  var header = (Protocol)stream.ReadByte();
  switch (header) {
  case Protocol.Chat: //Handle Chat
    break;
  case Protocol.Login: //Handle Login
    break;
  case Protocol.Disconnect: //Handle Disconnect
    break;
  }
