Re: [Quickfix-developers] Getting Started with QuickFix and .NET

[John K. <kam...@gm...>]

I've looked at Executor, (I cannot open order match, my VS2005 license
doesnt include c++ projects) and executor the difficulty with learning from
executor is that it jumps straight into it. No slow walkthrough, i.e. here
we connect to the server, then await trap the OnMessage event etc. For a
newbie who has just seen QF, this like learning to swim in shark infested
waters, 30 miles from land. :)
Also, for now what I"m actually intending on doing is just connecting to a
host and waiting to trap received messages, once I'm able to do that I'm
sure i"ll be able to figure the rest out.
