I am writing a server component that will raise various "events" using UDP
multicast events. A number of winform clients will begin receiving these
events on a background thread, listening on the muticast address.
My question is, is there a way of shutting down these threads without
calling Thread.Abort, e.g. when the user shutsdown the application.
If I use the async BeginReceiveFro m method, I still have to call
EndReceiveFrom to ensure I do not leak resources. However, this will block,
and there is no timeout option. I did consider sending a "terminate" event to
the socket, but then realised this would be sent to the multicast address,
and so to all the other listening clients.
The only option I see is to store a refence to the listening thread, and
call Abort on it when I want to shutdown, and trap the resulting exception.
Any alternative suggestions appreciated.

Hi,
If you want your threads to be disposed when the application finishes set
the property IsBackground to True on each thread.
Best regards

Hi,
I have several threads communicating with each other using events
stored in Queues. Threads block on Queue.get() until somebody
publishes an event in thread's event queue.
I need to add support for sockets to the system. Thread needs to
unblock when:
- there is socket ready to be read, or

I'm having a problem with the TcpClient that I can only conclude is
either a feature, or a complete misunderstanding of the docs on my part.
In a nutshell, I'm simply performing the following sequence with a server:
connect
write(50 bytes)
read(2002 bytes)
write(50 bytes)
read(2002 bytes)

In news:OZ0W9RsdDHA.2432@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... I ask the question how I
can see if all the data is on the other side of the connection.
I got as answer that I should use the blocking property.
I tried this I don't see any diffents, I am sending 10Mb and the
Send/BeginSend command doesn't wait till the data is on the remotepoint.
Can somebody pls. explain this.
Regards Robert.

How can I cleanly stop a thread that is currently blocking on
Socket.Receive?
I don't want to use Thread.Abort, because I would like the thread
method to exit cleanly, and the same code must run under the Compact
Framework, which does not support Abort.
Will Socket.Close cause the Receive method to finish, or is there a
better way?

I'm using the following statement to receive info from a TCPListener socket,
Int32 bytes = s.Receive(RecvBytes, RecvBytes.Length, 0);
It works fine but it blocks. I need the receive to not block. On my
TCPListener I just check intermittently for a connection using pending. This
allow it to be non blocking. Is there a way to do this with Receive?

Hello Friends,
When I make a call to NetworkStream.Read(byte buffer, int offset,
int size) I have found that this method will block until size bytes
have been read or the connection is closed. Is this the correct
behavior? My MSDN documentation led me to believe that this function
should block until at least 1 byte of data was available, the
connection was closed, or size bytes of data had been read.
Any comments or clarifications...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
