This documentation page describes a feature of version 3.3 of Iguana. In Iguana 4.0 and later, client executables are called plugins. See Writing a Plugin for more information on plugins in Iguana 4.0 and later.

To create a client executable that receives messages from an Iguana channel, you must:

• Define a MessageProcessor object in the client executable. Your client executable will use this object to establish a connection to Iguana. Events generated by this object control the interaction between Iguana and your client executable.
• Ensure that the client executable can access the communication libraries that Iguana uses to interact with client executables.

The following sections describe how to use Visual Studio to create a client executable that receives messages. Sample client executables written in VB.NET and C#.NET are provided.
