[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class MessageHandlerAttribute : AttributeRemarks
In order for a method to qualify as a message handler, it must match a valid message handler method signature. Servers will only use methods marked with this attribute if they match the Server.MessageHandler signature, and Clients will only use methods marked with this attribute if they match the Client.MessageHandler signature.
Methods marked with this attribute which match neither of the valid message handler signatures will not be used by Servers or Clients and will cause warnings at runtime.
If you want a Server or Client to only use a subset of all message handler methods, you can do so by setting up custom message handler groups. Simply set the group ID in the MessageHandlerAttribute(ushort, byte) constructor and pass the same value to the Start(ushort, ushort, byte, bool) or Connect(string, int, byte, Message, bool) method. This will make that Server or Client only use message handlers which have the same group ID.
