wolfSSL TLS C# Connection With Mono

The C# wrapper bundled with wolfSSL can be used in conjunction with Mono to run C# projects on platforms other than Windows! Mono provides users with an easy way to cross platforms with C# applications. To get things started when using wolfSSL, first compile the easy to use Visual Studio example in the wolfssl-X.X.X/wrapper/CSharp directory, then transport the “DLL Debug” folder, that gets created after a successful build, to any platform with Mono. After compiling and transporting the folder the executable can be run with the command “mono wolfSSL-TLS-Server.exe” from inside the “DLL Debug” folder.
