Hey everyone – I am wondering if anyone could help me out – I need to poll a TCP server frequently with a request to receive some real-time data.
I know I will need to create a thread in order to talk to the server but I am unsure as to how to make this poll frequently.
Any help would be appreciated…
I would not use a background thread. Rather have a look at a Timer in System.Threading. This is exactly what it was made for. Very easy to use.
