[line]
This project demonstrates my FEZ Connect Driver code.
The drive is a simple wrapper around the WIZnet device on the FEZ Connect board.

FEZConnectDriver provides device and network initialization:
[ulist] InitializeDevice
sets the chip-select and reset pins.
calls WIZnet_W5100.Enable
InitializeNetwork
sets static or dynamic (DHCP) IP address assignment.
automatically calls DHCP release when re-initializing the network.
handles errors in a graceful way with error messages that can be shown in the Debug window.[/ulist]

I’ve included several utility classes:

NetUtils contains these functions:
ContentType
[ulist]converts file extension to mime content type.[/ulist]
MACAddressToBytes
[ulist]converts MAC string address into MAC byte array.[/ulist]
IPAddressToBytes
[ulist]converts IP string address into IP byte array.[/ulist]
IPBytesToString
[ulist]converts IP byte array into IP string.[/ulist]
GetBaseUrl
[ulist]extracts and decodes a base url string from a raw HTTP url string.[/ulist]
GetQueryString
[ulist]extracts and decodes a querystring from a raw HTTP url string.[/ulist]
ParseBaseUrl
[ulist]extracts filePath, fileName, and fileExtension from a raw HTTP url string.[/ulist]
ParseQueryString
[ulist]parses an HTTP querystring into name-value pairs.[/ulist]
ParsePostData
[ulist]parses HTTP post data into name-value pairs.[/ulist]
UrlDecode
[ulist]replaces escape characters with actual characters.[/ulist]
HexToByte
[ulist]converts a two-character hex string into a single byte value.[/ulist]
HexToChar
[ulist]converts a two-character hex string into a single char value.[/ulist]
IntToByte
[ulist]converts an integer string into a single byte value.[/ulist]

FlashSettings and NetSettings:

NTPClient:
GetNTPTime
[ulist]retrieves current date-time from an NTP server.[/ulist]
extracted from @ Nicolas3’s excellent NetConfig code at [url]http://code.tinyclr.com/project/308/netconfig-wiz5100-http-configuration-framework/[/url]

Release Notes:
[Version 1.0 - 01/10/2012]

  • Uses Panda II Firmware version 4.1.8.0

Thanks for this. It seems to be working so far (I have only been playing with my fez connect board for about 45 minutes now and I can say this…

It can get on my network using DHCP,
It corrected my RealTimeClock using NTP and a good server,
and that your code worked, first time, with no compile errors!!!

Thanks for putting this together!

Thank you @ XenoPuTtSs, and welcome to the community!
