Hi all,
I have a weird situation here in that I've designed two C#
applications that need to communicate with each other using sockets.
So I am trying to set the applications up in a way that one acts like
the 'server' and the other a 'client'. However, the 'server' is an
application that does some work, and one if its jobs is to launch the
other application and start communicating with it when a user clicks a
certain button. The other application will then open up and begin
passing data back and forth with the 'server'. The problem is, how do
I get the SERVER to INITIATE communication with a CLIENT instead of
waiting for a connection the way servers traditionally do?
Any ideas how I could approach this problem? Thanks!

I just want to add that maybe the client/server architecture isn't
best for this scenario. I don't know if there's a way for me to have
the 'server' application spawn a new process that initiates
communication between the two apps? No idea how to get started!

Nevermind I figured out a solution to the problem. If anybody's
interested, the way I solved the problem was allowing my server to
call "sock.Liste n", and then when the other application was launched,
I called "socket.Connect " in the client, passing it the IP address and
Port of the server. This way I can develop communication between two
C# applications where the server launches the client.
Thanks for reading!

You may encapsulate all the socket function into a dll-project. In this
project, you start tcp-listenning ,waitint for
client connetion. Then publishing a event when receive something form
client.
Your main project do not care any socket business,just refrence the
dll-project and subscribe the event.So the main
project can do what it want .
Surely, a lot of thread will be created in your project.

It's in a button click routine and hangs after 3 or 4 sometimes 5 loops

Some code was found here( on google i mean) but the amazing( at least for
me) is that if i run the program step by step or i cancel the loop and run
it by pressing the button again and again it never hangs .
I want to have an infinite loop so my socket keeps on listening until i...

Hi,
I am using C# in .NET 2.0 and im trying to read a stream from a socket. The
code works on the first attempt but fails on subsequent attempts. It is in a

PlayerSocket.Connected=false???
I am getting the following error:

Hi all.
I'm (re)writing an FTP server application by using asyncore/asynchat
modules.
FTP tipically got two different channels: command and data.
I'm succesfully managing command channel through asynchat framework,
but I'm not sure about how to manage data channel without using a
thread/subprocess.
Is there an optimal to do that?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
