you really just have to roll your own state property code. It is just a matter of setting it in your class to whatever value is appropriate when appropriate.

From some code I got, if the server receives data at 0 length then it is disconnected. It looked like this

Private Sub DoStreamReceive(ByVal ar As IAsyncResult)
    Dim intCount As Integer

    Try
      SyncLock mobjClient.GetStream
        intCount = mobjClient.GetStream.EndRead(ar)
      End SyncLock
      If intCount < 1 Then
        ' Socket has disconnected
        Exit Sub
      End If

I hope that helps you out
