ScoringProgramDataConnectorPipeClient Class

Handles request from the scoring programs. This code is freely available for external programmers to adapt to their specific needs. This code, however, is guaranteed to work. Interop options are available for many programming languages that can interface with .Net Standard 2.0 assemblies.
Note that this class is written as a singleton: there should never be more than one instance communicating over the pipe. The constructor is protected however, so by inheriting from this class a non singleton instance can be used.
The class implements IDisposable through its base class, as the base class contains a stream writer and stream reader that must be disposed when the communication shuts down. Be sure to call Dispose on the class any time it is no longer in use, otherwise communication will stall.
The code has no dependencies, except one on NLog (and Net Standard 2.0). If you decide to copy the code make sure to add a dependency to the NLog NuGet package or implement your own logging.
All public functions have synchronous and asynchronous implementations (ending in "Async").
To get started inspect the following functions:
Connect and ConnectAsync: Connection to the Data Connector.
Initialize and InitializeAsync: Initialization of a new event.
IssueManagementCommand and IssueManagementCommandAsync: Query the Bridgemate Control Software.
