Socket Connected Status

[StevenBlake]

Hi,
I have developed a C# application which sends the data to the connected client.
I am using TCP/IP protocol. The client connects with my application using 'Telnet command' through command prompt.Once the client is connected the application starts sending data to the client i.e. on the command prompt.The data is comprised of 10,000 lines and one line is sent after every 1 second to the client. The application is working pretty good. But whenever network issue arises(network deadly slows down) the application failed to send the data to the client and Telnet doesnt display "any connection to host is lost" message . what i want to do is if connection breaks up due to network problems then display a "client disconnected" message on my application. I am not succeeded yet in my task. because before i send the data i check the connection and socket.Connected still returns true even when network slows down.
How can i resolve this issue ????
please help me
Thankyou

Have a timeout period and display the message when the timeout expires before the data has been sent?

The .Connected property is only updated after a read/write, you would need to try to send data and have it fail before the .Connected property would be updated.
I have posted a simple solution in previous threads about this subject, but a user pointed out a situation in which they believe it did not work (power failure). I have not yet tested that theory.
