how to close open socket

I would like to force a socket closed if it is currently open.

For arguments sake, say a function failed to close a socket and another
function would like to use this same socket.
I get the following error:
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is
normally permitted

Obvously it would be better if the socket was closed correctly the 1st time,
but again, for arguments sake, please assume that it is left open and must
be forced closed by another function.

Thanks in advance.

How do you close the socket? By calling its Close method? Post your code.

Hi, I have a program which opens a socket server in a thread. I need for the server to listen on the socket for a certain amount of time (say, ten seconds or so) and then close it, and am wondering if there is a good way to close the socket other than sending it a message from another thread to close itself. That is, I am looking for a way to forcably kill a socket from a second thread, not to send it a message to kill itself. ...

Context: C# System.Net.Sockets Socket created with constructor prarmeters Internetwork, Stream and TCP everything else is left at the default parameters and options except linger may be changed as I find appropriate. I am using the socket asynchronously by calling the BeingSend and BeginReceive calls. I would like to be able to call shutdown and close asynchronously if possible.

I have a sync socket application. The client is blocked with Socket.Receive(...) in a thread, another thread calls Socket.Close(). This unblock the blocked thread. But the socket server is still connected. Any idea? Thanks.

I have an application that wants to open a Socket, write data and close the socket. A persistent connection would be nice, but it's intended to operate in an environment where the network connection probably isn't reliable. So I do this: // open socket m_networkSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
