Time out BeginReceive() operation

[c guy3811]

In my server, I am using Asynchronous socket connections. After a client connects, the server Asynchronously waits for the login credentials using Socket.BeginReceive. I have not had this issue yet, but in the what ifs.... Suppose a client connects, is sent a promt from the server to enter login credentials, then just sits there sending nothing. The server holds that asynchronous operation indefinately until something is sent or the client disconnects. How would I time out that operation? I dont think SetSocketOption works on asynchronous operations. The server would not stop accepting connections by design, but it would keep that socket open, and I dont want that. Any ideas? Thanks c#guy

There is no difference. They work either way. xacc.ide-0.1.1 released! :) Download and screenshots

Really? I set the receiveTimeout option for 100ms, and after about 5 minutes the client was still connected. Are you sure?
