Terminating a socket listener thread in a loop

Hi, I have an application where a listener thread has a while loop that
just calls Socket.ReceiveF rom over and over. When I close the app by
clickin on the X, the process doesn't die because there is still this
listener thread running. How do I terminate this thread as well?

Thanks

Hello, el***********@g mail.com!


you have to call Socket.Close() on receiveing socket and handle
SocketExeption exceptions that may be thrown
on Socket.ReceiveF rom(...)

if all you want is to aboart the thread when the application terminates call
..Abort() method on the thread.
This will raise an exception on your thread causing it to exit the loop

I'm new to C# and threading, so hopefully this is a simple newbie question. I have a form that is supposed to listen for network traffic on a given port and decode and display any interesting traffic it sees. To do this I've launched a separate thread to do the listening. When I run my form it seems to work fine, but when I close the form the thread is not being terminated and Task Manager shows the application process still...

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.

Hi, I am doing a small project using socket server and thread in python. This is first time for me to use socket and thread things. Here is my case. I have 20 socket clients. Each client send a set of sensor data per second to a socket server. The socket server will do two things: 1. write data into a file via bsddb; 2. forward the data to a GUI written in wxpython. I am thinking the code should work as follow (not sure it is feasible)...

Hello, Could someone please explain why the Socket.Send is slow to send to the same process it sending from. Eg. Process1 calls Socket.Send which sends to the same IP address and port, the receiver is running within Process1. If I move the receiver into Process2 then its fast. Please can someone explain.

I am trying to create a socket server which will listen for connections from multiple clients and call subroutines in a Fortran DLL and pass the results back to the client.

From what I can tell the sample server code ...

I've created a class to listen to all interfaces and do a BeginAccept(). Once it gets a connection, it passes the connected socket off and stores it in a List. Next, it continues to listen for more incoming connections and does the BeginAccpet() again. It does an infinite loop this way. My question is: What is the best way to stop this? I thought about putting a boolean in there, but then what if it's still waiting for an incoming...

Overview: 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,...
