  • Creating a graph
  • Connecting to an existing graph
  • Disconnecting from an existing graph
  • Enumerating peer entities
  • Adding records to the graph
  • Using direct connections with a graph
  • Using the notification and event infrastructure with graphs
  • Registering names with PNRP
  • Resolving names with PNRP
  • Unregistering names with PNRP

  • Using the enumeration functions within a group
  • Enumerating group members
  • Adding records to a group
  • Using the notification and event infrastructure with groups

Group Browser

The Group Browser sample application is a simple peer group management tool that demonstrates how to use the Peer Grouping and Identity Manager APIs. The application demonstrates the following tasks:

  • Enumerating PNRP clouds
  • Enumerating identities
  • Enumerating groups associated with an identity
  • Creating and deleting identities
  • Creating a group and associating it with an identity
