My very first C# program! 90% copy-pasted from various code snippets. Is legitimately terrible but gets the job done.

You'll need to put it in a visual studio solution, and add the EyeXHost project and Client.Net20 dll as references.

Thanks for posting this! Unfortunately I got a bit stuck on the setup. Would you be able to describe in a bit more detail the steps to set up the project?
