C# Socket BeginReceive / EndReceive capturing multiple messages

Question

Problem:

When I do something like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    SendMessage( sometSocket, i.ToString());
    Thread.Sleep(250); // works          


        

Answer 1

There is no need to abandon Tcp because it is stream oriented.

You can fix the problems that you are having by implementing message framing.
