Question

I am making a call to Socket.Select on multiple sockets and want the whole thread to block until one (or more) of the sockets are ready. The documentation says that if you give a timeout of -1, the timeout should be infinity. Yet, it returns almost automatically.

I am using .NET 3.5. Here is my code :

Socket.Select(socketAVerifier, null, null, -1);

    foreach (var socketsPrets in socketAVerifier)
    {
        switch (socketsPrets.ProtocolType)
        {
            case ProtocolType.Tcp:
                AccepterConnection();
            break;
            case ProtocolType.Udp:
                EcouterBroadcast();
            break;                        
            default:
                Journal.WriteLine("Socket de protocol inconnu" +
                                     socketsPrets.ProtocolType,
                                  "Serveur", Niveaux.Grave);
            break;
        }
    }

Is there a way to make the call to Select blocking?

Seemed to be bug in .NET 3.5. Bypassed by passing Int32.MaxInt
