Question

Are there any fast way to learn Asynchronous socket tcp programming or are there any libraries available to utilize system.socket in a short amount of time?

My synchronous tcp client couldn’t hold the program I’m working on because it needs to listen for a long period of time (10 to 60 seconds), which of course doesn’t work in synchronous connection.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I finally got it to work. I stand corrected. It appears that an synchronous socket does work for listening for long period of time. The reason why my earlier attempt wasn’t working is because I’m using a NetworkStream, but I found out that it’s possible to use a socket without a NetworkStream.

Socket server = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
                 SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

Then use

socket.Send and socket.Receive
