Receiving Data from NetworkStream

Hello,

I am curious if there is a way to receive data from a socket in the chunks as it was sent. For instance, in my client program if I send something like:

"VERSION=1.0"

then I send:

"NAME=MyName"

When I receive it from the server I get: "VERSION=1.0NAME=MyName". Instead of receiveing it seperately.

What is the proper way to handle, using a delimiter? But what if the data being sent is large than my blocksize, and it misses some data? This has been boggling my mind trying to figure out a good way to do this.

Thanks in advance!
