Sockets Programming(Disconnecting from Server) - xolara - 04-06-2012
Okay at the moment i am coding a Server/Client program or rather i am updating an old program of mine to use Server/Client. But i am having abit of a problem with disconnecting from my server (this means if a client closes the program the server crashes)
So lets say ive called my socket on the client for
clientSocket
now what i have tried is
clientSocket.Disconnect ' This will simply Freeze the damn program, But it does disconnect the damn thing
clientSocket.Dispose ' Does the same as above freeze
So what i was wondering is if anyone has a code or a suggestion to do this
Allso since i am using a Client list on my server to see who is online and stuff (To administrate online users)
Once the user has disconnected i need to remove them from the list again. Suggestions for this is appreciated or a code and i'll owe you one <!-- s

Well, in order to have them removed from the list, they need to actually be able to disconnect properly, so let's focus on that first.

If that doesn't work, you can try out the BeginDisconnect() method, that may do something. (Documentation: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.socket.begindisconnect.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... nnect.aspx</a><!-- m -->)
