Will Socket Send block receive?

[=?Utf-8?B?Y2hyaXNiZW4=?=]

Hi,

My understanding is that for the same socket, assuming send and receive run
at two different threads, I have to use BeginReceive to avoid the blocking on
send part. However, I can jsut use Send without worrying about any threading
issue in case send and beginreceive happens at the same time on the socket?
Am I correct on this?

Thanks

Chris

How can you affect how data is sent by using BeginReceive?

If you are asking whether you can mix the use of the asynchronous receive
with a synchronous send, yes my recollection is that you can.

Thanks. I Used middleware too much and forgot some basics on socket. So if I
mix synchronous receive and send, but put each on different thread, will
send or receive affect other anyhow? I see some strange socket buffer errors
in application and trying to dig into it.

No, that's definitely fine. The socket can handle send and receive from
different threads simultaneously.

Well, I don't think that the errors are being caused by some specific
combination of the send/receive methods of the Socket class. :)

thanks for the help. seems i still have more homework to do :-(
