networkstream

I want to admit I'm not the strongest in c# and I have developed this program by looking at several tutorials, I would appreciate a lot if you can be detailed in your answer. I would like my TCP Server to always listening for incoming connections and when a new TCP Client connects, I want it to discard the old connection and use the new one. I have tried to implement this answer; https://stackoverflow.com/a/19387431/3540143 but my issue is the fact that when I'm simulating a TCP client, but somehow the answer above will only receive one message (my current code receive all messages sent), also

I got a server that is managing two clients through NetworkStream.Read . Application protocol is: ClientMessage [128 Bytes] → Response from Server [128 Bytes] Now at server-side: Is it possible, that MyTcpClient.GetStream().Read() returns only < 128 Bytes, although all messages from client-side are exactly 128 bytes long? I guess that such a client message is short enough to fit into one packet on the tcp/ip layer - but could there be some kind of fragmentation or random although? Is NetworkStream.DataAvailable the right attribute to defend against this? After running smoothly for hours, i

I've written the following function to implement a timeout feature using NetworkStream 's asynchronous read functions ( BeginRead and EndRead ). It works fine until I comment out the line Trace.WriteLine("bytesRead: " + bytesRead); . Why? private int SynchronousRead(byte[] buffer, int count) { int bytesRead = 0; bool success = false; IAsyncResult result = null; result = _stream.BeginRead( buffer, 0, count, delegate(IAsyncResult r) { bytesRead = _stream.EndRead(r); }, null); success = result.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(_ioTmeoutInMilliseconds, false); if (!success) { throw new TimeoutException(

I'm wondering how to stop Networkstream.Read() from blocking thread. I have separate thread where NetworkStream.Read() is waiting for data from server. Assume that user press some button that send some data to server. But I can't call NetworkStream.Write() while there is NetworkStream.Read() in other thread waiting for data. I can lock NetworkStream each time but NetworkStream.Read() will block thread so I can't send data until read at least 1 byte. Bjorn Coltof You can issue both read and write simultaneously as stated in the docs at MSDN docs Read and write operations can be performed
