What am I doing wrong?? Sending serialized objects with Async Sockets.. [Solved]

[Jacob D Dixon]

Ok I decided to give it a try using Async sockets. I'm trying to get the client and server to talk. Right now I can get the SERVER to receive data from the client.. but when I try to get the server to send data back to the client it doesn't work!! Client:

   static void Checkin()
    {
        IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint(serverIp, 5555);
        Socket sendSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
        sendSocket.Connect(endPoint);

        Operations ops = new Operations();
        ops.Task = Operations.Tasks.CHECKIN;
        ops.NetBios = System.Environment.MachineName;
        ops.ClientId = 1;

        IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
        NetworkStream ns = new NetworkStream(sendSocket);
        formatter.Serialize(ns, ops);

        ns.Flush();
        ns.Close();

        // IF I DON'T PUT THE CODE BELOW THIS LINE THEN THE SERVER WILL RECEIVE THE DATA LIKE NORMAL
        // THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I PUT THIS CODE THE SERVER DOESN'T EVEN RECEIVE

        Console.WriteLine("Beginning to get data");
        Receive(sendSocket);
        receiveDone.WaitOne();

        sendSocket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);
        sendSocket.Close();
    }
    private static void Receive(Socket client)
    {
        try
        {
            // Create the state object.
            StateObject state = new StateObject();
            state.workSocket = client;

            // Begin receiving the data from the remote device.
            client.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, StateObject.BufferSize, 0,
                new AsyncCallback(ReceiveCallback), state);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
        }
    }
    static void ReceiveCallback(IAsyncResult iar)
    {
        StateObject state = iar.AsyncState as StateObject;
        Socket client = state.workSocket;

        try
        {
            int recv = client.EndReceive(iar);

            if (recv > 0)
            {
                state.ms.Write(state.buffer, 0, recv);
                client.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, StateObject.BufferSize, 0,
                    new AsyncCallback(ReceiveCallback), state);
            }
            else
            {

Figured it out... I wasn't paying attention... In my code I was only reading the first 1024 bytes. So if it was under 1024 bytes it would work fine. I put in code to check if the amount read equaled the buffer size and then called the beginreceive again until we read all the data.

Just a friendly suggestion. When you answer your own question like this (or in fact, if anyone answers it well), add "[solved]" to the subject of the original. Helps people searching the archives. Cheers, Peter

Ahh will do! Thanks for the tip! Sorry I didn't do it before :-(

[Jacob D Dixon]

Thanks! Took me a little bit to figure it out but then again I've never worked with sockets before.
