Question

i have a socket, im using to send large buffers through, if ill do something like

// may be accsed form a a lot of threads
void Send(byte[] buffer)
{
  m_socket.BeginSend(buffer ... , SendCallback);
}

void SendCallback()
{
  m_socket.EndSend()

  // if not done sending- send the reset
  m_socket.BeginSend()
}

my question is: will this work from a multithreading stand point, or will the buffers interleave?

Answer 1

Quoting MSDN:

If you perform multiple asynchronous
operations on a socket, they do not
necessarily complete in the order in
which they are started.

But if you are sending blocks of data from multiple threads, what is your definition of ‘order’ anyway?
