Async Socket Issue

Hello all, I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I am working on a project that requires my client socket to maintain an
active connection and reply to information form my server at long intervals.
The server "pings" the client on a regular basis when there has been no
activity in order to ascertain whether or not the connection is still active.
it sends the client a particular bit of information and waits for a
specified reply. If it does not receive that reply, it shuts its end of the
connection down.

The communication looks a bit like this: client connects, client sends some
identifying information to the server, after a period of time server sends
"ping" request to client, client responds with expected reply.

Except that I cannot, under any circumstances using the .NET socket
implementation, get this to work. The client and server can communicate fine
as long as the client had just sent information to the server. If, for
example, I want to send information to the server that communication works
fine -- but when the next time the server needs to "ping" the application,
the client does not seem to receive the communication.

I have tried async sockets, the Select function and the Poll function. For
testing, I have a very stripped down application -- it all runs in one
thread, and, in the case of the Poll and Select methodologies, the calls are
made within a while loop running in the main() function. I have verified
that the "pings" are being sent from the server, and I have encountered this
error with other languages (C and PERL).

For a variety of reasons related to the project requirements, I would prefer
to use C# for this code. Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing
wrong?

Thanks.

Hi all, Three questions really: 1) The async call to the networkstream's endread() (or even endxxx() in general) blocks. Async calls are made on the threadpool - aren't we advised not to cause these to block? 2) You can connect together a binaryreader to a networkstream:

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...

Greetings all. Here's a problem that's been driving me nuts for the last 48 hours. I'm hoping that someone has come across this before. I have a C# Application that reads a UDP broadcast (asynchronously). Then it repackages these UDP packets and sends them to a subscriber via TCP. Now, I can read the UDP stream all day long without the application

It appears that System.Random would provide an acceptable means through which to generate a unique value used to identify multiple/concurrent asynchronous tasks. The usage of the value under consideration here is that it is supplied to the AsyncOperationManager.CreateOperation(userSuppliedState) method... with userSuppliedState being, more or less, a taskId. In this case, the userSuppliedState {really taskId} is of the object type,...

Hi, I have a 100 clients/ one server application, use ugly one thread pre client approach. And both side user sync I/O.

I have a fairly standard server application that I am using asynchronous socket calls to make connections, send and receive data, and all of that jazz. No blocking methods was my goal in writing this and it's gone very well so far. But coming from the blocking world, I want to have some timeouts on my receive routines and I after reading a lot on MSDN and here, I get the impression that once I set one of these Begin... methods a running...
