Try this code:

using (NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream())
    {
         while (!stream.DataAvailable)
         {
             Thread.Sleep(20);
         }
        
         if (stream.DataAvailable && stream.CanRead)
         {
              Byte[] data = new Byte[1024];
              List allData = new List();
        
              do
              {
                    int numBytesRead = stream.Read(data,0,data.Length);
    
                    if (numBytesRead == data.Length)
                    {
                         allData.AddRange(data);
                    }
                    else if (numBytesRead > 0)
                    {
                         allData.AddRange(data.Take(numBytesRead));
                    }                                    
               } while (stream.DataAvailable);
          }
    }
      

Hope this helps, it should prevent that you miss any data sended to you.
