Description of problem: C# examples packed in the qpid-cpp-win package, "csharp.example.helloworld", "csharp.example.declare_queues", "csharp.direct.sender", csharp.direct.receiver, csharp.example.server" and "csharp.map.receiver" cannot run. These clients create a connection without "connection options" and the connection cannot be created; the clients raises an exception, see below, please: C:\qpid_VS2008\bin\Release>csharp.direct.sender.exe <broker_hostname> csharp.direct.sender host : <hostname> addr : amq.direct/key nMsg : 10 2015-02-23 10:39:25 [Client] warning Broker closed connection: 320, connection-forced: Not authenticated! Exception Org.Apache.Qpid.Messaging.QpidException: connection-forced: Not authenticated! at Org.Apache.Qpid.Messaging.Connection.Open() in c:\cygwin\tmp\build\source\ mcressma\source\qpid\cpp\bindings\qpid\dotnet\src\connection.cpp:line 243 at csharp.direct.sender.Program.Main(String[] args) in c:\qpid_VS2008\dotnet_ examples\examples\csharp.direct.sender\csharp.direct.sender.cs:line 57. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-cpp-win-3.22.51.1-1 with qpid-cpp-0.22-51 (on the broker) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install, configure and run a qpid broker with disabled authentication (set "auth=no") 2. Download, unpack and compile the qpid-cpp-win packages. 3. Try to run one of the C# examples mentioned upper, f.e. "csharp.direct.sender" Actual results: The client fails with the exception because no connection can be created (see upper, please). Expected results: The client should connect the broker without exceptions.
