Hi Guyz
well I wanna implement a tcp chat program with C# and winsock, and I know
that I should use Asynchronous methods so my windows program won't be
blocked, but in my application both clients could send and receive messages
at the same time, which means I can not begin recieving after sending a
message or vice versa, it's possible that my application would recieve
multiple messages, so how should I handle that?

not really, you can use a thread that send/receive info, once it gets/send
the info it send an event to the UI thread. IMO this is the easiest approach
, but in my application both clients could send and receive messages
at the same time,
You could use two threads, one for send and another to receive, you will
have to make sure that there is no concurrency conflict though.
An easier solution is to use one thread only and in a loop check for data to
send, send it, check for data received, receive it and notify the UI and
repeat the loop again.
which means I can not begin recieving after sending a
message or vice versa, it's possible that my application would recieve

No multiple messages, you have to receive them sequentially.

Jefe,
if you check this sample google search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...%22tcp+chat%22
You will see that there are numerous implementations of chat that you can
study.
You do not need to use Winsock directly in C# as the .NET classes provide
this functionality for you.

That is the way I would go. Have two threads - sender and receiver
contained in your Chat Class. GUI has nothing to do with it at this point.
Your sender will block on a blocking circular queue (i.e. my one lock
blocking CQ on codeproject) and when it gets a post, it sends. Likewise
your receiver will block on networkstream.R ead() and enque into receiver
queue. You could then do a gui ThreadWorker that blocks on receive queue
and posts to your textbox.

Hi,
I'm writing app where I use WinSock, but I have experienced a problem.
WinSock only sends the data after finishing the calling sub/function. Can I
force WinSock immediately as I need to send several packets but they have to
be sent separate?
Many thanks

When vb6 Winsock.RemoteHost is set to "127.0.0.1", c# socket listener cannot hear connect request (my old vb6 winsock listener could hear it...).
Why doesn't this work, and is there a work around I can make on the C# side to hear the connect request?

Hi guys,
I created a ASP page that
1. users can run when WinSock proxy are using (ie's one is unchecked)
2. users can't run when WinSock proxy are using (ie's one is checked)
3. users can't run when WinSock proxy are not using (ie's one is checked)
4. users can't run when WinSock proxy are not using (ie's one is unchecked)
So, what is the difference between winsock proxy client and the proxy
setting in browser (IE)?

Hi
Just upgrading a app from VB6 to VB.Net. All is going well apart from the
Winsock control.
The first thing we notice is that there does not appear to be a .Net version
(please correct me if wrong).
Also when we use the VB6 winsock control in a dotnet version we appear to
lose the ability of creating an array on winsock's.
for example we cannot assign as thus

Hello
I have a problem with my current program.
The meaning of the program is to allow users to login to a server to allow
them to access the internet.
My program communicates with a MS isa server to make a rule for that IP for
the time-credits left for that user.
My problem is that so far, the program can handle everything except more
then one client, and i have done my best, but i can't find a decent solution
