This sample demonstrates using DDC's AceXtreme SDK in a C# Windows Forms application.

1. Overview

• The sample creates two BC->RT messages and two RT to BC messages and schedules them in two minor frames of 100ms each.
• It reads BC host buffer using aceBCGetHBufMsgDecoded in a background thread and displays the messages in rich text boxes.
• It provides an option to choose the Bus (A or B) on which the messages will be transmitted.
• It provides an option to enable message retry. If enabled, retry happens once on the alternate bus.
• It demonstrates the aceBCDataBlkWrite API to update data for BC->RT messages.
