networkstream.r ead - Visual Basic .NET

Steve

I'm working on a program that talks to the Yahoo chat servers. But I have
run into a small problem and I'm not sure what to do next. After I
successfully log into yahoo and receive my cookies I think login to their
chat servers. It's at this point I am having the problem. When the following
code executes:

networkstream.R ead(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient2 .ReceiveBufferS ize))

Dim returndata As String = Encoding.ASCII. GetString(bytes )

txtReturndata.T ext = txtReturndata.T ext & returndata
returndata = "YCHT

There is no closing quote either which I find odd since return data is
clearly a string. I believe that there is some character or something being
received after YCHT that is causing the Encoding.ASCII. GetString to choke.
Any suggestions for a method that might work better? Thanks in advance.

I think the problem is that the buffer is too small, either on your side or
on the sender's side. You need to increase the buffer and read from the
stream until the stream is empty. The stream probably still contains more
response from the sender. Set it on a loop:

Do
BytesRead = stream.Read(dat a, 0, data.Length)
TotalBytes += BytesRead
TotalData = [String].Concat(TotalDa ta,
System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII.Get String(data, 0, BytesRead))
Loop While stream.DataAvai lable

Good luck.

networkStream.Write waits until networkstream.close

by: cmjman | last post by:

I have an issue where networkStream.Write doesn't perform its write downstream from my client program until the network stream is closed. I then see the data that was sent appear on the other side. I am sending a small amound of data and read where data wasn't sent until the buffer reached a larger size. However, there is a TcpClient property call NoDelay that is suppose to eliminate this delay. Here is a snippet of my code below. Can...

NetworkStream.BeginRead() wierdness

by: 0to60 | last post by:

I have a class that wraps a TcpClient object and manages all the async reading of the socket. It works really nice, and I use it all over the place.

NOTHING is different from anywhere else I use this class, its just this one place. Now, if I create a second constructor for my class...

NetworkStream tcp error

I am trying to us a simple NetworkStream to transfer a file over tcp. This works most of the time, but one specific file never downloads(.mdb file). It seems to close the socket and I get an "unable to write data to transport connection" error. I have tried multiple ways to transfer this file(including remoting, sockets without network stream) and downloaded different examples of client/server byte transfer, all with the same result....

Unblock NetworkStream.Read from another Thread?

by: DaveR | last post by:

I have a background thread to accept and process TCP/IP connections. When the application shuts down I want to gracefully terminate it. The thread will block in NetworkStream.Read() waiting for data. I expected that shutting down the TcpListener would unblock the Read() and cause an exception, or return 0 bytes. But it does not work. Relevant parts of the code are shown below. If a client connects, the stream blocks in its Read()...
