HI,
What is the best solution for a .NET (c#) developper with IqFeed : TCP/IP or COM ? What is the most Stable ? With new revision of IQFeed, TCP/IP protocol change or not ? And with COM ? All TCP/IP functions are présent in COM api ? thanks |

We recommend TCP/IP for all developers. The COM interfaces are provided as a wrapper around the TCP/IP communications for those developers who do not want to (or don't know how to) deal with the socket communications. Both should be stable.
"new revision" is a relative term to what version you are currently running. If you are upgrading from 4.7.0.9 to 4.7.1.3, there should be no changes in protocol. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, I would suggest that you read through the release notes and ask specific questions about anything that concerns you. Most, but not quite all TCP/IP functions are present in the COM API. For example, we do not yet have a COM interface to wrap the communcations on the Admin port. |

Bite the bullet and write a multi-threaded socket feed consumer. The COM interface has too much overhead, especially going back and forth to the .NET world. When volume spikes, the COM<->.NET solution won't be able to keep up, and you'll find your CPU pegged and your program falling farther and farther behind. It will eventually catch up, but when I was using COM with .NET, it sometimes took 10 minutes until my program was caught up.
