Programming Patterns with Session Objects

The general programming patterns in working with sessions is as follows:
- Create an outgoing session using the session manager and register for interested session events.
- Invite a user to join the session by creating a participant and adding it to the session. An application must also register for any interested participant events.
- For an audio/video session, a client must also enable media channels between the local and remote participants before adding the remote participant object to the session. Enabling a media channel amounts to creating an audio or video channel, adding it to the invited participant object, and then handling and registering for interested media channel events.
- Accept an incoming session by handling the OnIncomingSession event. Also, register interested session events on the incoming session object.
- End a session by calling the Terminate method on the session object.
- For a conference session, a client calls the Enter method to let the local participant join the conference. A participant can leave the conference by calling the Leave method.
