Socket Connection
-
Hi All, i am trying to create a socket connection to a server and send it a XML string and receive the results. For some reason it does not work, here is my code: XML String:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and my socket connection code: try { TcpClient socketForServer; socketForServer = new TcpClient(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 6000); socketForServer.SendTimeout = 300000; socketForServer.ReceiveTimeout = 300000; NetworkStream networkStream = socketForServer.GetStream(); System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(networkStream); System.IO.StreamWriter streamWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(networkStream); string outputString; // read the data from the host and display it streamWriter.WriteLine(XML String goes here); streamWriter.Flush(); outputString = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); networkStream.Close(); return outputString; } catch (Exception ex) { return ex.Message.ToString(); } it shows that i am connected to the server but i don't get any results back. can anyone please help me with this? thanks in advance! living life on the flip side -

You need a read loop to get the number of bytes back you expect from the server.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
