I've written a fair amount of sockets code using the Winsock2 API, but I am having some trouble converting to the .Net Sockets API, specifically asynchronous sockets.
What I have is a form that is both a client and a server. When the form starts I create a listening socket and call Socket.BeginAcc ept(). When a client connects my accept function is called, and it is on a separate thread. After I accept the client connection I connect to another server (no async there).
Now both sockets call Socket.BeginRec eive() and wait for data. When data from one arrives, I log it, then pass it to the other. This seems to work well, however things break down when the client disconnects.
First when a client disconnects I have no way to know about it (in winsock I could get the FD_CLOSE event). So currently I can do nothing in my form, so I added a "Reset" button which seems to cause real unpleasantness.
After a client has disconnected and I click "Reset" in the form, how do I stop all the async receives?
Currently I am calling EndReceive with the IAsyncResult I got from the BeginReceive. But when a new client attempts to connect I get a "Fatal Execution Engine Exception" from code that should be fine. Plus I seem to accumulate more threads than I can explain.
Can anyone recommend a good C# async server example? Or MSDN article?
Thanks!

Hi,
First of all, thanks for a great starter kit, now If I could just get
it to work (fully).
I am trying to compile and run the solution/services all on a local dev
box.
I am able to successfully run most of the SampleApp features
(Register,Feedback,Error report, version check)
The only method I can not execute is the BuyNow example.
I have tried leveraging the Sharewarestarterkit.com web service to rule
out locality, to no avail.

Ok so I think everyone can agree that creating buffers on the fly in
an async socket server is bad ... there is alot of literature
available on the problems this will cause with the heap. I am looking
at a few options to get around this.
1) Have a BufferPool class that hands out ArraySegment<byteportions
of a larger array (large enough that it would be in the LOH). If all
of the array is used create another big segment.
2) Create a...

Hi,
I've written a async server app. This app start by connecting to a
client and then send some data (BeginSend). When the data is sent, the
server is starting to listen for incomming data. (BeginRecieve). In the
receive callback I always call BeginRecieve again to keep listen for
more data. The server is continualy listening, and from time to time
sending (but if it is sending more data when there is already a
listening socket, I don't...

I'm writing a server application connection to multiple clients using
sockets. I want one socket for each client, and the comunication needs
to be async. I could use the async sockets methods (beginsend,
beginrecv...) or I could start a new thread for each client and run the
comunication using the sync mehtods (send,recv). What is the best
aproach? This is a performance critical application.

Hi,
In an attempt to create a full-blown webcrawler I've found myself
writing a wrapper around the Socket class in an attempt to make it
completely async, supporting timeouts and some scheduling mechanisms.
I use a non-blocking approach for this, using the call to 'poll' to
support the async mechanism - rather than the 'begin' and 'end'
functions. I already found that connecting doesn't set the
"isconnected" variable correctly...

Hi,
I have a 100 clients/ one server application, use ugly one thread pre client

I frequently see the error on server side(client side code is same, but I
