Sockets Programming(Disconnecting from Server)

[xolara]

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 --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
