what to do after a read from a socket Timeout
-
Hi All I am using
TcpClientto read from a socket and I set the propertyReceiveTimeoutto a value let's say 3 seconds. As per documentation, after the read fails because of a Timeout, anIOexceptionis thrown. After that point, each time I callReadLinethe exception is systematically thrown again and again. What to do to reset the Timeout value or to renable the reading from a socket with no worry? I reset a new value forReceiveTimeoutbut it doesn't work. Do you know what to do? -

We were having troubles reconnecting the computers when one of the network cards would go down for some reason. What I ended up doing was checking for exceptions, and depending on the exceptions, I would then try closing/reopening the socket. Maybe this is what you need to do. You should also probably test for the case I had which was to have the apps communicating, and then disable the network adapter and reenable it.

Do you know what to do?i don't think the exception is thrown because of the ReceiveTimeout.. if nothings availible to read the buffer would be empty and that would may by throw an exception.. try to check before reading using the property
if (client.DataAvailable > 0) { ... string line = client.ReadLine(); ... } -

Make sure your TcpClient has keepalive set to true, and make sure the server isn't timing out on you. Also, a higher timeout value can help unless there is a major issue with the server timing out, in which case you will just wait longer for the exception.
