Hi, I have a project using the TcpClient and its associated NetworkStream. Everything works well except for one condition which I haven't found any information about dealing with: How do I detected when the socket connection was closed on the server-side?

I'm facing a problem where I need to verify that my windows forms application has access to the internet before it can do anything. Currently, the only way I can think of is by creating a HttpWebRequest and point it to the specified URL I wish to connect to later on, and if that throws an error, I know I don't have an internet connection. Is this the best method for detecting an internet connection, or is there some sort of routine that I need...

I'm having trouble finding example code to detect the presence of an Internet connection. It doesn't seem to be a very frequently asked question, as all I need is the answer yes or no (is the user connected or not). I'm not interested in speed detection or any other aspect of the connection, just its existence or not. The reason is to be able to intercept link clicks on a CD-based set of HTML pages and pop up a warning if there is no...

I have a utility that I want to only run when a network connection is present. I want to plan for the situation when someone unplugs their laptop from the network and takes it into another room. My process requires a connection and I don't want it to blow up when one does not exist. I have tried using the "wininet.dll" API, but it still tells me I am connected when I am unplugged from the network. Has anyone else had the

I have an instance of a TcpClient using a NetworkStream and I want to be able to detect when the connection is lost (or cable unplugged). What is the best way of doing this? I don't want to use getByte because it reads from the stream. I tried inheriting TcpClient to access the protected function Client.Connected but this returns true even when the connection has been lost. Any help is appreciated.

According to HTTP/1.1 specs, a client should only have two connections open to the host at a time (which can be changed by browser users, of course). When using xmlHttpRequest connections, is there any way to detect that the request is queued? I did some tests (see "Queued Requests" at http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com/request/examples.php ) and it looks like readyState 1 is fired immediately after the request is made, even though it's not...

It just connects and never returns any data. First, the proof that something is there and rejecting the connection (or is it that this thing...

Hi group, I've written a client/server application, using the dotnet sockets.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
