how to execute Socket.Select on more than the 64 default sockets number

I am trying to execute a Socket.Select() statement on an
arraylist of sockets. The problem is that I can only go up
to 64 sockets at a time. I know that I have to manupilate
the FD_SetSize to increase the limit. How do you do that
in C# in the .NET Visual Studio environmrnt.

Osaleh -

This is a Win32 API hack. As far as I know there is no way around
the 64 socket limitation in .NET. Maybe someone with inside
information can share if there is a trick to getting this to work in
..NET.

You may need to redesign your app to use either asynchronous
sockets or separate threads for each client. Either of these methods
can be scaled to support quite a few users, depending on your PC size.
Good luck with your network app.

I am try to evaluate the most efficient method of handling thousands of simultaneous TCP connects each of which remain connected to the server for hours and pass a small amount of data usually once a minute. The data received is logged in a SQL Server database. The only method I have found of reading each socket requires a thread for each connection which blocks waiting for data. This appears to be very inefficient as it will result in...

I've read many articles on the subject and the majority of them give the same solution that's in article 821625 on the MSDN website. I'm using the following code and when a the client disconnects the child socket remains in the CLOSE_WAIT state. Anyone have any idea what's missing? ----------------------------- Socket Code ----------------------------- namespace Sockets { #region Class - SocketClient

Hi all, I am not sure that I am posting this in the right group but here it goes anyway. I am new to socket programming and I have been searching on the internet to the questions I am about to pose but have been unsuccessful in finding the answers so far. Either because my understanding of sockets isn't where it needs to be or my questions are too basic. My programming environment is Windows XP, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and C#. So here it...

I read a network programming book (based on framework 1.1) which indicated that you should 'never' use the RecieveTimeout or the SendTimeout 'socket options' on TCP sockets or you may loose data. I now see the socket.RecieveTimeout 'property' in the visual studio 2005 help documentation (framework 2.0) and it has example of it being used with TCP socket. This propery is also listed as 'new in .net 2.0'. 1) is the socket.RecieveTimeout...

Hi, In an attempt to create a full-blown webcrawler I've found myself writing a wrapper around the Socket class in an attempt to make it completely async, supporting timeouts and some scheduling mechanisms. I use a non-blocking approach for this, using the call to 'poll' to support the async mechanism - rather than the 'begin' and 'end' functions. I already found that connecting doesn't set the "isconnected" variable correctly...
